The Europa Barbarorum project is uncompromising in its approach, seeking maximum historical accuracy. The Hellenistic world, Rome, and Carthage are represented in their full might and splendour.

This does not mean though that others have been neglected. 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 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. 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. 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”. This map is twice as big as the original RTW map and features (as of yet) 27 fully playable factions. It features a map spanning (in modern terms) from Ireland and Portugal to Pakistan and Xinjiang, and from mid-Sweden to Ethiopia. This is a full conversion mod (not surprising with M2TW since it’s a different time period).

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.
