Is that your way of confirming the Bastarnae as a faction in EBII?

I think what cmacq was saying is that the Bastarnae, at the EB's start date, were still part of the Lugiones and didn't settle yet near the Carpathians...
Yeah I figured as much, here's hoping that they are in though!

Hey Alin! Haven't seen you posting in awhile, good to see you! I tried to follow a link Bobbin put up at the twcenter which directed you to the art of skinning/modelling but by the time I learn it EBIII will be under construction...

By all means, if you find the time for it, elaborate on that. I am interested!
This will all be addressed in great detail in upcoming releases.

No not really, but what do you know about the 'whys' and 'wherefores' of the Bellum Germanicum.' Better known overall as the
'Marcomannic Wars' they took place between AD 162 and 180 and were roughly coeval with the Antonine Plague. Between the plague and war about 7-8 million people died on both sides. Of these around five million died just of the plague in Roman territory alone. This also marks the first time a barbarian army had entered Italy since the Crimbri migration. Some had said that the Roman army and economy never fully recovered from this war. The point is that the Romans were fighting against Both Swabian and Lugian tribes. However we now know that the better armed and largest number were coming from southern Poland. A huge iron mining area and weapon industry had developed there. In fact within 350 years the area around Krakow had literally turned into what could be called the 'Arsenal of Free-Germania.' Although the 'Marcomannic Wars' are beyond the scope of the EB2 time frame the process had start in the late La Tene period. It seems that the only thing lacking was leadership.

If I follow correctly, I think they will be using the Apache script? For those who don't know about MIITW Kingdoms, the Apache tribes were able to take over enemy technology after defeating them, thus, creating Apachean musketeers, Apachean Cavalry and eventually Apachean musket cavalry!
This might be modified to make the Lugiones adapt to several foes, in the forms of better quality armour or weapons.
Or I am completely wrong here, anyway, this preview contains an ENORMOUS amount of information, I might read up with more time but I just have to tell you that I am amazed on how much you can bring together about a people on that region at that time.
Best wishes everybody.

Right,
much of the information is in what might be called Grey Literature. Its just pulling it all together, being able to read the different languages, and understanding what it all means technically. It's not so much that the general public doesn't have access to this information, rather they don't know what to look for, or if they do, where to find it. There is also a literal ton of disinformation that is of course, very easy to get ahold of. I would like everyone to know that most of the 100 references I've posted for the Lugiones Preview are avaible online.

Well personally I eat my hat for having said such things in the past as "There won't be a Baltic faction". *cough* Belgae *cough*, excuse me.
Lovely work!
