They look astounding!

[Stath's]

Fantastic stuff!!! Maybe a link at the Twitter news is needed:)

[Ailfertes]

Probably some meeting yesterday resulted in six team members posting within 10 minutes from each other. There's obviously a lot of work going on:

New wooden house for the Steppe factions, based on excavations at a Xiongnu site, prepared - JMRC

[olifant]

It's great! Wonderful!

[Ailfertes]

This is exciting news! It seems the first release is coming closer!

[Cybvep]

Besides units, what still needs to be done for the first release?

[Tux]

Many more such as: buildings, UI, special unit models(generals, bearers, etc.), descriptions, scripting, AI, etc..

[Ailfertes]

At least the buildings and the descriptions are coming along:

[Gaius Sempronius Gracchus]

Mars Nodens, Mars Nodontis - from Roman era inscriptions. Interestingly Tolkein considered the name likely of Germanic origin. There are also the pre-Roman DIAZ (Tiwaz?) and TASCIO (often presumed to be the father of Cunobelin but, with so many 'secondary' named leaders may be associated with the Germanic deity Teusco).

[Brennus]

Sempronius is correct, in fact he has hit upon many of the things mentioned in the description.

[B-Wing]

Oh No-u-don'ts!

[BroskiDerpman]

The steady trickle of news is hyping me up. Hoping for late 2013 to 2014 release... Keep it up! :D

[Ailfertes]

News has been somewhat more slow on the twitter front than before lately. I guess that upcoming preview might be to 'blame'.

Boii farm descriptions complete. Every Celtic farm, trader and temple description now finished. - Brennus

Just saw the page on the R2:TW Seleukid faction. What happened to the rest of the empire? - abou

Split up into different satrapies I guess. I think it does make some elements of a Seleucid campaign more interesting and makes sure there are potentially many civil wars in store for them except from the (flawed) civil war mechanic itself. But making satrapies different factions doesn't really make that much sense.
