«Europa Barbarorum was started to more accurately represent the barbarian factions in Rome – Total War as more than unwashed hordes but quickly expanded into accurate representations of all of the factions. Over the X years that EB has existed, EB has completely remade the Rome – Total War game with the goal of historical accuracy and fair representations of all factions. With the completion of Europa Barbarorum Version 1.1, the team has moved on to the M2TW engine to recreate the Roman Era with the new features available therein.»
‘Europa Barbarorum II’ is back with a new faction preview, to the delight of barbarians everywhere. This time we’re getting treated to information about the Getai (also spelled Getae), a collection of tribes – one people, yet divided, according to the EB team – who inhabited parts of today’s Bulgaria and Romania. The provinces they control, the emblem they march to battle beneath, and the warriors they have at their command are all viewable in the preview thread.
