Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Sauromatae .... EBII style.... oh yeah... (drools like crazy)
Great preview - I'm going to buy MedII tomorrow - now I have an extra reason why I think its worth it... and another one to wait more anxiously for EBII
Great work as always people! Al hail the EB team!

I'm also delighted by the fact that the previews are now coming at a much faster rate... That's a very good sign indeed

Woohoo!
I am so glad to hear this. Whilst I appreciate that you guys on the team pick factions mainly on historical grounds, as a gamer I like factions that are fun to play. So the KB with their unusual military (hoplites, heavy archers, horse archers, lance cavalry etc) and their variegated mix of local enemies (Getai, Sauromatae, Hai, Pontos etc) are something of a dream faction for me. There's nothing else quite like them. I even faked them in EB1 by migrating the KH to Pantikapaion with cheat codes, and had a good time playing them.
Cool. :)
Fight like a meatgrinder
Nice!
So bobbin was right after all, good work!

I had a feeling bobbin was right... but it's nice to know for sure! The Bosporan Kingdom was a faction that I was really hoping made the cut.
The Sauromatae look wonderful as well! You guys have all done a great job. The details on some of those quivers and saddles are awesome!

Not to rain on your parade, but i fear this is not the case. The team just shows the previews when they are ready, we´ve just been lucky that it was very close to the last one.
Also i agree with the decision of the team of not doing everything for the first release, only the most important, many things (like the horses) can be improved later. This way EB II will release quicker
Wowowowowoooooouuuuuuuuu!!!!!! Finally, the Sauro... the Steppe Wolf was revealed..!!!!
Woooonnnnndddeeeeerrrrfffffuuuuuulllllllllllll!!!! Aaawwwweeeessssoooommmmeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Great Job, no.... very great great great job EB II team!

thanks for your comments !
About the horses, I doubt we will work on them on a near future. There are just too many more important things to work on.
Possible horses EB could look at using - note cataphracts and half-cataphracts

Awesome preview!!!
I never played Sauromatae in EB, but now I'm eager to play them in EB2.

Well I'm not much for the nomadic factions, but I'm psyched for the Bosphorans.

Also guys for those who haven't found out yet, if you press the Bosphoran faction symbol you get linked to a big picture of the Bosporan Hoplites.
