Thanking you
First of all yes I know how this sounds bu what exactly is an Occultus faction
Its an upcoming faction wich has not been revealt. The team members working on that faction have a sig banner saying "Occultis" and showing tiny bits of the faction's symbol
"A wise man once said: Never buy a game full price!"
- Another wise man
And if you guess the faction correctly, as evinced by the Sauromatae preview, the EB team will announce the occultus.

my guess is on the arevaci
celtiberians on the iberian peninsula to make it fun over there cause it gets pretty boring sometimes unleass on those rare ocasions where carthies and luso´s are challanged by both romani/arverni and the greeks
also this time with cimmeria in the greek cities on the pontos euxinus will no longer rebel to the kh and with syracuse (trully wishing those one´s) maybe in an alliance with massilya (a kind of chromeniades league but with the western greeks of syracure and massilia trying to reconquer the western mediterranium ) playing the kh will be less of a problem regarding those rebelious greeks scaterred around the mediterranium (altough this less dificulty can make it a tad boring)
Hadn't heard of that one... are they trying to force us all to use Google's web browser? It works o.k., I guess.Chromeniades League
Them either. Sounds like a Syrian Medical NGO.syracure
You mean a medium-sized one of these with a Country and Western motif?western mediterranium
I'm kinda scared of this idea: either you're talking about filling up your Medium Sized Terranium with bear feces or the music of Ella Fitzgerald, which doesn't really fit the Western motif. Neither of those is really our scene, man.scaterred around the mediterranium
To sum up: are you suggesting that one of our factions be Syrian Volunteer Medics, who force other factions to use Google Chrome, while living in Glass Jars filled with miniature cacti, armadillos and bear droppings? It's doubtful, I have to say. What would the faction symbol be?

I should point out that working out a new occultus faction would be kinda hard since there is only one occultus sig still knocking about (I remember a second one but it seems to have disappeared) which IIRC is not a faction symbol but a building.
Good luck working that out.

The latest retweets deal with barbaroi units, maybe we get a barbarian faction in the next preview?

I don't know for sure but that "lump" above the first U somehow makes me think that its supposed to be a bull. Therefore I wuld supsect were dealing with a celtiberian faction (maybe)
“Save us, o Lord, from the arrows of the Magyars.” - A prayer from the 10th century.
Since insignia in coins are often used as faction symbols I googled for Boii coins. I found this replica of an existing coin:

The motif on the right could be the one on the Occultus signature Moros posted. The revealed section above the "c" could be a nose.

Yeah I had a look at that pic too, wasn't convinced though.
I can't really see it, care to explain further?
If it is a lion's head the a really goood candidate would be the Kingdom of Kartli.
It is actually suppposed to be a wolf but it looks quite lion like.
It looks very Celtic to me too. Because it is Moros' signature, I would say it's probably Belgic. But that's just guesswork with a bit of logic.

For the one Moros provided, the form to the left (near the O), looks like a jaguar or panther or leopard (just one of those big cats, I know some of those aren't indiginous to the old world)
Just throwing it out there.
Also the lion observation comes from the v-shape above the s, whoch kind of looks like a lion's snout at 3/4 view.
So it could be possibly a multi-headed cat-like...thing.
EDIT: Is it at all possible that it is depicting a cerberus?

well, as Owen said lately, I noticed the nose and the tail of the thing (nose above s, the tail above and behind O.)
but yeah, what of the hump on the U area? that really confuses stuff.
how about nabatean coins? any lions on them? (I'm not saying this is nabataea, but hey, its possible). your suggestion of Kartli though looks promising.
@Owen: Leopard. Jaguars are new world, and Panthers are just over colored leopards (or jaguars). they're black from too much melanin in their fur.

Yeah, I realize that now. I was in class when I posted that, and spent the rest of the hour doing research on big cats hehe.
Found a few coins with a "panther" on them, but nothing with a panther and a lion.
I was briefly thinking it was maybe a Herakles type thing with a lion mounted on his head (though probably not.)
