A hurray for Huene.

Wow, awesome work Bobbin! - Moros

Extend Andy's hurrah to Bobbin and Moros!

Argh, the flow of information has dwindled to a dripping. If I don't my EB fix in the form of a screenshot or two I might do something desperate (like start a "release date" thread).

New preview coming soon. - Tanit

Hip hip hurey :)

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

I'm excited. Carthaginian preview in all likelihood.

[Horatius Flaccus]

I'm excited. Carthaginian Arabian preview in all likelihood.

Fixed it.

Towards the bottom. Hence the reason I think Carthage

Your deduction powers, Sir Robin, leave me speechless. =)

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Why thank you. The next Sherlock Holmes for sure!

EDIT: Apparently, there are two previews almost done: click

[B-Wing]

I'm giddy!

[Blxz]

Interesting. 2 previews almost makes up for the months of nothing. By 'almost' I mean of course it does. But I doubt they will release both at the same time. Makes sense to stagger the release of information so as to try and avoid a big long gap again. Damn you summer holidays!!! Its even worse coz I can't sympathise because it was winter down here in Australia.

While I love the info on the old factions and how they are being remade I am so keen for new faction info. Maybe the 'arabian' preview which is not called a 'saba' preview will have info on a new arabian faction. I love those sexy arab factions with their light units.

[Ludens]

No more spam, please.

Waiting for Paullus to OK a unit. Then on to an Illyrian regional! - Huene

Paullus how could you...

[Tuuvi]

It's been six days since they said there was going to be a new preview, I wonder how much longer...

The anticipation is killing me

[Tanit]

Chin up Chuchip, the preview is only missing two unit cards. It will hopefully be out today, but tomorrow at the latest.

[fightermedic]

omg im SO going to enjoy it

Now what better way is there to relax after an Organic Chem exam than reading an EBII preview? :D

Cheers!

Uh oh hotdog! I'm so happy to hear this. Especially since I have to spend the rest of the week in Rome... Rome, GA, on work. A new preview will provide me lots to read and think about.

[stratigos vasilios]

Finished some mercenary unit descriptions that were dogging me. Remember: greed is good! - abou

Is it too greedy if we ask for more tweets?

Working on some unit cards. - Bobbin

The amount of effort is truly amazing.

.Working on a pronunciation guide for the fans. Ever wanted to know how to pronounce that wacky word? We've got you covered. - abou

Writing a short history on the edomites. - Moros

I guess they answered my question for more tweets, great to see them coming. I love reading them!

[Noble Wrath]

The pronunciation guide seems a good idea. For example I was amazed when I learned (from EB naturally) that Caesar was not originally pronounced "sizar", the problem being the English retained the latin spelling but not the latin pronunciation. And then I realised that in greek (my mother tongue) the word is pronounced "kesar" and written "καισαρ". Αpparently the ancient greeks wrote the name the way they heard it, without consideration for latin spelling since they used another alphabet. Same thing with the Celts (Κελτοι).

These precious bits of information create the atmosphere of the mod.

[stratigos vasilios]

It's late and I have had too much caffeine, might as well work on skinning my first unit - Bobbin

I wonder if it put Bobbin to sleep?

[bobbin]

Only by about 6AM.

[antisocialmunky]

Can you take progress shots. I've been curious as to how EB artists put together the skins. Lots of period designs and details and stuff.

Wouldn't mind another behind the scenes preview. :D

[nazgool]

Some news from twitter :)

Almost have a finished map for the main campaign. Almost there.

[B-Wing]

Oh boy! I'd love to see more campaign map previews, and it sounds like we might get that soon.

[stratigos vasilios]

Working on implementing Population Growth and Farming Mechanic. Lots of testing to do, but should be interesting when finished. - Foot

Outstanding!
