Europa Barbarorum II (EBII) is set in ancient era with huge campaign map stretching from british islands to central asia, arabian peninsula and northern Africa. This is the very first good thing about EBII, the sheer size of map; it also includes Arabian peninsula, which is very often not seen entirely included. UPDATE FOR STEAM USERS: Using trivial script to get Single & Multiplayer version does work with the Steam version of Rome Total War, but it is a little weird. Europa Barbarorum is a total conversion for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms and successor to Europa Barbarorum for Rome: Total War. The aim is to give the player an even better gaming experience compared to EB1 on the RTW engine and a deeper comprehension of the ancient world and its correlations. You cant have Europa Barbarorum II, a MASSIVE historical project, and then be like; just call them barbarians. Maybe its me not caring for history, i hate it as a subject, especelly Serbian since you have ♥♥♥♥ about Gavrilo Princip and us being big in Medieval times for like 50 years, its not like i don't like it, i like the siege equipments, coming of guns, even feudal period is fun.

Europa Barbarorum II a total conversion of Medieval II Total War Auferre trucidare rapere falsis nominibus imperium, atque ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. To steal, to butcher, to plunder, is called the false name empire, and where they make a desert, they call it peace.

Europa Barbarorum II is a revised and extended version of its predecessor RTW mod Europa Barbarorum, which has been adapted for Medieval II Total War. This is a full conversion mod (not surprising with M2TW since it’s a different time period).

It features a map spanning (in modern terms) from Ireland and Portugal to Pakistan and Xinjiang, and from mid-Sweden to Ethiopia. This map is twice as big as the original RTW map and features (as of yet) 27 fully playable factions. The team has tried to give each region on the map a number of provinces, so as not to under-represent factions and cultures on the “fringes”. There are fewer regions in the centre than in some Mediterranean-focused mods such as RTR or RS, but more in other parts of the map. This is in accordance with the basic philosophy of the project, which tries to provide the player with a historically accurate depiction of all major factions of the age, and a possibility to experience some factions/cultures that are under- or misrepresented in other media. Among these are not only the European 'barbarian' factions the original project started with, but also factions from Central Asia and the Arabian peninsula. This does not mean though that others have been neglected. The Hellenistic world, Rome, and Carthage are represented in their full might and splendour.The Europa Barbarorum project is uncompromising in its approach, seeking maximum historical accuracy. That said, characters who were born after the start date will not appear in the campaign, because of the unpredictability of the consequences of the player’s and AI’s actions.

This mod has many features unique from most other Medieval II mods. It includes hundreds of completely brand new units with balanced and historical stats, 1144 turns with four turns per year (instead of the standard 2 turns per year for TW) for a total of 286 years of gameplay, two settlement types - cities and nomadic camps (replacing castles from M2), social-political ideology which replaces religion, numerous scripted historical events such as political/military reforms or invasions, a vast wealth of regional historical and geographical information for each province on the map, unique historical landmarks or buildings for many provinces, native provincial buildings which give a region its dominant native culture, a complex trait and ancillary system for in-game characters, the ability to choose your faction heir, piety ranking will be replaced by management, chivalry/dread rank will be replaced by influence, unique political offices for certain factions, brand new animations for units not present in M2 (such as slingers, phalanx, hoplite, and archer bow strings), permanent stone forts which add income to regions and create greater regional diversity (not for first release), a navigable Red Sea-Nile River canal, buildable authority system which dictates the provinces form of government, a totally new and re-textured campaign map which extends slightly further east than EB I, the possibility of re-emergent or hording factions, and a complex area of recruitment (AOR) system that allows some regional as well as factional units to be recruited by several or even all factions. Alongside a completely redone campaign and battle AI for a more immersive and challenging experience.

Extensively researched voicemods (for units on the battlefield; also some agents). May be extended.

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 (now 1.2), the team has moved on to the M2TW engine to recreate the Roman Era with the new features available therein.As of yet, several previews have been released (https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=194571), in addition to some leaks on twitter etc. The Gaza Campaign has been announced to be the first release. No release date given.
