We could always host an EB-based fantasy Minecraft server. You can be the King of the Gauls, or the Roman Emperor. Maybe you're just the local governor of Kyrene. Pave your way to glory today at EBcraft.

You're quite the optimist, eh?
My EBII-related expectations for 2012 include another faction preview and perhaps - if it is a good year - a preview about a few of the new game mechanics.
I don't even dream of a release this year.
(Please note that this is in no way means I'm unsatisfied. EB II and it's planned features is no mod but a real new game, even moreso than EB I. And since the team has to work on all these breathtaking ideas when coming home from a stressful and/or time-consuming daily job - not to even mention something as exotic and excentric as "private life" or "family" - I am absolutely fine with the information that there after all those years of dedication still is progress. )

Some sort of greek helmet? I don't know enough about arms and armour to be specific enough.

A pseudo-corinthian helmet. It would probably be worn by an upper class greek, roman or possibly phoinician. Now the cute little pony is one of those unsolved historical mysteries..
Πόλεμος πάντων μέν πατήρ εστι, πάντων δέ βασιλεύς
καί τούς μέν θεούς έδειξε, τούς δέ ανθρώπους
τούς μέν δούλους εποίησε, τούς δέ ελευθέρους.
And Blxz was saved by Noble Wrath.
Indeed a pseudo-corinthian is the correct and now to your prize Noble Wrath, some eye candy and explanantions related to the workflow.
The historians gathered some pictures from various sources, such as coins, for some of the type of helmets used in Eb2, in this case:

However this isn't too useful for a 3d artist and hard to use so a concept artist will draw some detailed blueprints based on these. In this case, Gleemonex, a former member and great artist who sadly dissappeared:
Finally based on this, and thanks to Gleemonex for the decoration in the concept, the model and textures are created:

And finally we have a low and can also have high poly version of the given helmet.
I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak and have a better understanding of how our workflow is in some cases.
This is some eye candy! Thanks sir, the work of the team (and yours in this case) is always a marvel to behold.
I get the feeling that the horse drawing resembles a dragon. Could it be a symbol from the colonies of the Black Sea? Perhaps a case of syncretism, an influence from the dragon standards of the iranian nomads? Or I may be talking nonsense :-)
Πόλεμος πάντων μέν πατήρ εστι, πάντων δέ βασιλεύς
καί τούς μέν θεούς έδειξε, τούς δέ ανθρώπους
τούς μέν δούλους εποίησε, τούς δέ ελευθέρους.
I was just about to point out the dragon as an interesting helmet decoration but NW has kindly done so already. I'm not sure, I've never really seen that sort of dragon design. I'd be interested to know it's influence and where it's from, either now (if Tux et al. feel generous) or at the next preview (whenever that may be).
EDIT: Also Tux, Face database? What are we looking for?

Humm, sadly I can't answer that as I've forgotten the discussion about the concept of the helmet but for me it resembles a sea horse and not a dragon.
Someone else will have to pop up with an answer on it's origin.
What's with the face database? Do you mean what kind of faces we are looking for?
Yup. What are you guys looking for atm?

Nothing, unit development has been pretty much halted as we don't have too many artists, just one "quarter-active" at the moment working on some eastern units.
And I've been dealing with other parts of the mod w/ Treve Leveller, such as the strat map(icons, characters, etc.), so dunno when my free time and motivation will alow me to continue working on some units.
Looks like a Hippocamppus*, eventho that does not mean much...but that is quite close to the Faction logo of the Bosphorans! However as it's a pseudo corinthean helmet this hints mainly towards italy.
One of the few things I learnd from Age of mythology :D

Strikes me as a Hippocampus as well.
