    Hey all,

    I suggest that we discuss some interesting twitter updates here.

    EB Twitter


    I'll start:

    Also writing a description for a nex province, with a great ancient capital and an as ancient and magnificent city as perm. fort. - Moros
    Which province would this be about? Hayastan?


    Oh and the script for the Gaza campaign seems te be completed, maybe a release isn't that far away?

    Well I don't know exactly as they weren't implemented in the build yet but since it's my first unit, model and skin, I'll show you a sneak peak at it:

    A version of it:

    They look nice, great work!
    Also, the flowery base is great as well.

    PS: I'm already working so I can get a processor awesome enough to play this on high settings ;)

    Nice models, very nice - even the aforementioned flowery base looks good!

    I like the look of the scar, and the expression on his face looks, uhm, do pardon me, in the lack of a better word cool.

    The shield's of curious size though... A bit smallish for a close combat warrior, one'd think, yet he holds his spear as a thrusting spear (and the spearhead is large). Cuuuriouss...

    He likes to show he's clothing that's why.

    And yeah they must look pissed a little and that's what I did.

    Before too much confusion is settled, let me point out a few things:

    - the shield doesn't look from the getai...
    - the unit is rendered in a spearmen animation, but it may not be its final animation family
    - elite units don't require large amounts of armour and/or oversized shields; the elite status is given mostly by their martial skill or fanaticism during battle.

    Anothr update on twitter "3 Celtic cavalry units with 3 stages of evolution each (9 models), are finished and ready for skinning. - JMRC "

    And a sweboz diplomat has been completed.

    By my count that is at least 6 celtic units completed, going by twitter updates (unsure if the British/Casse units that Tux mentioned have been completed yet).

    Damn, I hope you get the help you need to make that come true. I'd apply myself, but I lack both the required skills and time to be of any use :(
