For those fans who do not frequent the Org or Total War Centre forums, but would like to respond to Brennus request for fan feedback, here is the request in full. Please post your responses below if you wish to comment. Dear Europa Barbarorum fans, First of all thank you to everyone for the ongoing support you have shown and expressed for Europa Barbarorum. It seems quite strange to think that Europa Barbarorum will be ten years old this year, although it must be said that not everyone in the team has been around that long, including myself. For those of who are unfamiliar with who I am, I am the faction coordinator for all Celtic factions in Europa Barbarorum II: the Aedui, Arverni, Arevaci, Boii and Pritanoi. I have been in this role for 4 years now, and by and large almost every description which exists for these factions was researched and written by me. In real life I work at the University of Leicester, examining various aspects of the Iron Age in Gaul and Britain, with my main research being focused on the burial practices of people in southern Britain and northern Gaul during the La Tène period of the Iron Age. As those of you who follow the Twitter feed may already be aware, in just under a month’s time Europa Barbarorum will be presenting at the Digital Past 2015 conference. The list of delegates who will be presenting at this conference includes representatives from the University of Oxford, the British Museum and Microsoft’s UK research division. In my capacity as a member of the Europa Barbarorum team and representative of the University of Leicester, I will be presenting alongside them. Considering the esteem of some of the institutions who will be attending, as well as the desire to spread awareness of Europa Barbarorum, and great work of past and present members of the team, it will be necessary to present a strong paper. I would therefore like to invite you to help with gathering the necessary data to present at this conference, by asking you to answer the following questions. Three of the questions utilise a numeric answer system to aid with coding and analysing responses, however feel free to leave comments with these questions if you wish to. All respondents who choose to take part will remain anonymous unless you express your wish to be named in the results: Do you feel that increased historical accuracy detracts from or increases the excitement/enjoyment of such games? Strongly Detracts (1). Detracts (2). Has no real effect (3). Increases (4). Strongly Increases (5). As a result of playing Europa Barbarorum have you developed a greater interest in history, archaeology or the past in general? Would you prefer to see more historical accuracy in other games, or other forms of visual media such as films or television programmes? Yes (1). No (2). Indifferent (3). Has playing Europa Barbarorum improved or altered your understanding of the period 272BC – AD14. As a game, what is the greatest strength of Europa Barbarorum and what is perhaps its greatest weakness? Does the fact that Europa Barbarorum is open to volunteers and fan contributions make its work more appealing or not. It makes it very unappealing (1). It is not appealing (2). No real effect (3). It makes it appealing (4). It makes it strongly appealing (5). Once again, thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in this modification, and thank you for taking part in this survey and sharing your thoughts. And remember, Quisque est Barbarus Alio. Brennus
