How do i use BB Code?BB Code allows you to change how your text looks, normally you have a little guide on top of the post box, those are the basic commands otherwise you can check out a database by clicking on the "BB Code Help" link underneath the emote tray to the left of the post box.
What is the 'Town Crier! Announcements!'?This forum is where all announcements will be made, from the addition of a forum, to the addition of a new tzakone and such. Check here if you want to know anything important happening at Exilian.
What is the 'Gaming Discussion' forum?Here is where the community gathers to discuss Rome:Total War and Mount & Blade. Discussion varies from upcoming and exciting mods for both games to battle strategies that we like to share with the community,
What is the 'TW Modding' & 'Mount and Blade Modding' forums?Here the community shares the mods they've created with the rest of Exilian members. Feel free to post your completed mods here along with a download link i'm sure your mod will be welcomed with joy and will be announced in the 'Town Crier' forum. Thanks for helping develop Exilian.
What is the 'The Jolly Boar Inn' forum?The Jolly Boar Inn is by far the most active section of the forum, it is where the community gets together to chat about the world and random nonsense, jokes are exchanged here, contests, image sharing and internet games take place. Be sure to join up in the great fun we all have there.
What is the 'Questions and Suggestions' forum?Have a problem with the forums? Want to make a request, is there a bug? Send in any complaints, criticism here, moderators and staff patrol these forums 24/7 and would be happy to listen closely to your posts and then do their best to fix the problems.
I've heard talk of 'Mods', what are these magical things?Mods, or modifications are files that one can install to change certain aspects in the game. These range from adding one unit to the game to total conversions of the game. Many mods come with instructions on how to install a mod, so even newbies can effectively change their entire game without a sweat. Our mod database is continually growing and any contribution on your part is greatly appreciated.
Appropriate Behavior?Of course joining these forums comes with a few rules and regulations. First of all: racial, sexist, and religious discrimination will not be tolerated here and will result in a warning or possibly even a ban straight away. Second, offensive and pornographic images are not tolerated and if posted here will be removed as soon as possible and also will result in a ban or a warning. Thirdly, appropriate vcabulary is in order, repeated use of swear or sexual words will result in a warning or temporary ban. Finally spamming and flamming will result in warnings as well and if done enough will result in a ban. Please, these rules are here to keep a semblance of order in these forums, they are for the best interest of the community, don't mess with us
.
Slang, Abreviations, and Emotes?Using slang, abreviations and "Instant Messaging" vocabulary is usually frowned on here as it comes off as a guy who does not care enough to fully type out their message here. Proper spelling is also a plus, however we understand you aren't a machine (especially your IE guys who don't have a built in spell check). Finally, we know its tempting to use emotes (those smiley faces to the left) but we'd appreciate it if you didn't go overboard with them, use them in moderation please.
Useful Tutorials?Here at Exilian, we are creating a small database of useful tutorials on modding Mount & Blade and Rome: Total War, and on general tips for playing the game. A recent addition is
CN2's Screenshot Tutorial which tells the reader how to take screenshots of a game. For a complete listing of tutorials visit the following links:
