R:TW - Europa Barborum

Or however its spelt.

Its still technicly in development, but so far its looking like it could be the best RTW total make over out there.
It started as a mod to make the Barbarian factions less dull and cliche, and more historicly accurate, hence the name, but has since progressed into a total make over.
The map is expanded, featuring the Indus and a much larger extent of the Nile valley, there are some 200+ provinces.
Slight changes to factions, there are now two gaul factions as well as the Britons, and a central Asian faction, but the Nubians and i think one of the Balkan barbarians have gotten the chop.
Game play is rather different, as there are now four turns (seasons) per year, with winter having reduced movement points.
Also you now have to build government buildings in your newly aquired provinces, the most advanced of which can take some time to build.
Altogether the pace and feel of the game is different.

So, anyone tried it?

I got some more RAM so the game is suddenly much more playable, its amazing how much difference a mere 128mb of RAM can make.

The best one is Rome: Total Realism.

I probably won't try it due to having to lose 3 nights sleep to download RTR on my slow dial-up connection. Still, I heard EB has some crazy units like Camel Chariorts.

When I downloaded EB I found that all the factions were in crazy amounts of debt, every city losing thousands of denarii from the start. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled RTR, having a blast as Macedon.
