The thing is what leads a tribe to become "unsatisfied"? Being in the lower rank of the Achievements, perhaps?
    The idea is interesting, I'll think more about it. Thanks. :)


    The non-tribal factions have other mechanisms at their disposal: trading/settler colonies, cultural reforms, etc. There is still a lot of room for improvements, so we will get very cool features for the non-tribals.
    Couldnt the same system be used to represent different families for the romans, cities for the greek, ethnicities like in EBI for the successors, etc...?

    is it just me or did the elite spearman that we could only get in the east finally made it all across the celtic world ?

    also the romans seems humbled in terms of armour the romans seem to be using the celtiberian breastplates only the triarii seem their old self except they have a more peacockish glare to them (the celtics always where peacocks so no need to state the obvious)

    the new photos in the EB2-SneakPeak-thread. Does this mean that one can crack his head at the walls of the sanctuary. I remember it shall be the poor ol' townsquare. That's one kind of beast-defense.

    it won't be the town center itself. It might(or might not be that will depend on the AI's behavior when testing pathfinding) be one of the buildings near the town center, else, it'll be just another random building on the map... ;)

    Absolutely beautiful work Tux! Loving the unit cards! Also love the fact that horses (well most horses, not that British pony) are represented having realistic mass and size compared to us puny humans.

    Excellent work on the unit cards. However I suggest you get rid of the prickly pears (like the one in the Maure infantry picture) and other cacti, because those are American in origin and were introduced after 1492 AD. In their place, one could use succulents of the Euphorbiaceae group, which fill the ecological niche of cacti in the Old World.

    Found out afterwards, thus for the moment they will be left as be and the cacti will not be used for future african units.
    Keep in mind that there are 188 units for the first release, a render of that sort takes around 1-3 hours to make.
    Now multiply with the number of units and see how many man hours does it take...

    Well, if you or the rest of the team have any questions on neobiota or generally flora and fauna, you can always ask me.

    Glad you like'em.

    So I presume that means your work is related to that?

    Not exactly, but I used to study that and it's still a private field of interest.

    For the next sneak peek we would like to give the chance to everyone to choose what to preview.
    Such as a specific faction vs faction battle, region shots of the campaign map and so on.

    Any armoured horse archer will do for me :P

    Seeing more of Pahlava, Baktria or Saka would be nice too...

    As for campaign pics: Bouiroi, Lugiones or Nabatu, anything where there was substantial redrawing or additions really :)

    I could try ;-)

    I would like to see a battle between Lugiones and Bosporan Kingdom, OR between Nabataea and the Saba.

    OR a portion of the map in the Caucasian region, because that way we see mountains, passes, seas, lakes, rivers, etc.

    Simply the campaign map overview of all the current province borders, no need to put factions on it as our unofficial map thread people will do that on their own ;)

    Battle shots are fun, but not particularly informative. I'd like to see how the Nabatean's starting area has been remapped.

    looking at that hill/mountain in the background, I do have one question:

    any way to dictate the geology of the region? I refer specifically to rock types, the way they erode, etc. the ones I see could use improvement.

    I've heard of Muizer's guide to battle-maps, but that was for RTW, and I don't know how well it could help. with this.

    Gotta agree, the Bosphoran Kingdom is def my most anticipated faction. Unfortunately, we have had a total of 0 screenshots, while the Gauls, Sweboz, Nabbateans, Sabeans, Sauromate, Selukids, Epirotes, Makedons, Boii, Luigones, and others have had at least SOME coverage.
