    I'm sure the EB team will stop all their work on EBII to make a preview because you kindly urged them to do so with a whip...

    I can't believe people actually bother asking these questions.

    It seems pretty obvious that the next preview will be posted when the EB team feels like it's time to post it. Whining and moaning about it will only waste your (and other people's) time. There are about dozens of dozens of topic asking for this, with the same answer each time. Can't you like, actually read them, and stop thinking that the team will for some unknown reason give you a preview because you asked (not that) nicely ?

    personally (but i know i really speak for many other board members), i prefer a bit of a wait and then a great preview, to seeing a single screen shot appear every couple of days, that doesn't really give away anything else.

    I have it on absolutely no authority at all that the next faction to be reviewed will be the Bartix. They start in the Metabilus 3 province, and VC targets include Magrathea and Krypton. They have an amazing roster including AT AT's, Mutalisks, Raptor and Bird of Prey class ftl ships, and weapons systems with lethality ranging from 99 to 1,000. They will not, however, be depicted with Lorica Segmenta (so don't ask!).

    I believe the faction symbol will be a balloon, possibly green.

    Well judging by the name Februari preview it makes me think that there will be a March preview, might be wrong though but its the last day of March so who knows.

    Would be nice to see Spartans in action. But the team probably first finishes the Gaza units before working on others.

    Yeah, but we were given specific dates for the release of that book, and it didn't happen, which is incredibly disappointing. Hasn't it taken four times as long as he initially said it would?

    On another note, I predict the next faction preview will be a Numidian faction.

    O.K. Kids, here's a bone: there is more than one preview being worked on at the moment. More than one faction preview, even. As soon as they are done to our satisfaction, they will be released. The faction previews will take a little longer 'cos we want to have some great units to display, but I mean, c'mon, in February you got this:

    and women!!

    anyways, Admiral ^Ave, you need to wait a little more. those things take time, as they are made by Volunteers who have real life issues and needs. They are not here for YOUR pleasure in particular, but for the good of doing this mod justice. you can go find another mod to try out and enjoy that in the meantime, or you can alternatively learn to model and join my evil ar..team to make that mod of mine closer to reality*


    *yes, I am working on a mod. I've actually made good progress, but I digress.

    Thank you very much oudysseos for your insight.

    Now for all, the EB team (as always) is creating a masterpiece that is soon to be previewed, so just relax and prepare to enjoy

    Alternatively you can fiddle with photoshop or another graphic program and learn to skin, or learn to model, just what pleases you most. I am actually doing my own personal baby steps regarding that, just for amusement. I am not good enough at this... it is a miracle to have such a skilled team as EB working for our amusement of the game, don´t you think?

    So no March preview?

    But take your time, as long as the coming previews will be of good quality as the last ones have been. And good to know that there are multiple previews in the work.

    That's actually true. Image the excitement when you start a new campaign and discover a helluvalot of new unknown factions.

    That would be nice, but I doubt that they would go trough the trouble of creating a whole fake faction preview.


    They could after a faction preview release a few faction names of which 1 will be the next preview.

    But they will probably just release the good old great more then awesome godlike previews.
