Haha, gelukkig zit ik nog maar in de derde en heb voorlopig nog 3 jaar geen examen. Veel geluk met jullie examens!

Derde jaar Middelbare school? Geloof me, examens zijn niks daar. Proefwerken uit de 4e zijn nog moeilijker. Ik heb net mijn laatste examen (Engels) gehad.

And about the pictures posted by Micko: they look like they are from the mod of Banzai. He used units from all kind of mods mixed with his own models.

[anubis88]

What happened with the strict forum policy that all posts must be in English? :D

[Mediolanicus]

That was before the famous Dutch-Flemish colonization of the fora.

If you want to know, we were wishing each other luck for our exams and were complaning about the planning of our exams (little time for the hard ones, seas of time for the easy ones).

And now, back to topic!

PS: Tellos, and I'm editing this so I don't post in Dutch again, ik wou dat ik paniek had en haastig kon leren. Maar 3-4 uur op een dag lijkt mijn maximum te zijn... Niet dat ik klaag... Mooi 14 gemiddeld telkens, maar je begint je dan toch af te vragen; wat als ik nu eens 8u op een dag zou kunnen leren?

Dat gezegd zijnde, heb ik toch liever mijn examens mooi gespreid ipv alles op een hoopje en dan 3 weken tussen.

Unfortunatly that's not just a Dutch problem :S

[Apázlinemjó]

Unfortunatly that's not just a Dutch problem :S

Agreed.

Removed links - Krusader

these had better not be a hoax

however, if they are indeed your handiwork/handiwork of an EB member, then sweet.

[micko]

Nah im not a EB member and this is not a hoax and im still surprised that u guys still dont know what this is.......

[Gustave]

Oh crap, banzaii is back...

EDIT : Yeah I recognize your mod. You used units from EB and RTR without permission and this is why you were banned.

To everyone : This is NOT EB2.
Can a moderator delete the links ?

Let me quote myself:

New update:

Working on renders for units of the Gaza campaign, here's some with coolest units ever: http://bit.ly/acduzq http://bit.ly/bochzh ~Tux

[JMRC]

I dont know who are you talking about(Banzai) i fined this sub mod on this forum [link removed]

You ask who is Banzai and then you link to a forum where he placed his mod, which is full of units taken from mods without their permission. Stop posting those screenshots here!

[Phalanx300]

The new units on Twitter look great. I gues this also means that the Gaza campaign is moving closer?

[Tellos Athenaios]

I dont know who are you talking about(Banzai) i fined this sub mod on link removed

EDIT : wtf gustav and i tought u were a cool guy

Removed - Krusader

And this, your honour, concludes our case. Hegemon is the name of a mod “created” by Banzai using roughly the following methodology:
(a) Find mods you like
(b) Rip out the things you like
(c) Shove it into M2TW/Kingdoms.
(d) Don't ask permission[*]
(e) Get fried over it on a few forums. (See Total War Center for the whole sordid saga.)
[*] Well to be fair: Banzai did ask permission for some items, but there were way more items in his mod from others that he didn't ask for. And no: that a mod is released doesn't mean its creators are cool with someone ripping their stuff and slapping it together without observing a bit of etiquette over it, or that you even have the legal right to do so.

Another one

2 roman centurions' models finished and sent for skinning. - JMRC

[Andy1984]

Finished the skins for our new phalangites - Gustave

Which reads to me like: one of the next previews will be hellenic... :D

[abou]

Which reads to me like: one of the next previews will be hellenic... :D

Ahem. That would be Hellenistic. But there is certainly no guarantee that the next preview will be such. Could be something a bit more West, perhaps south, or perhaps subterranean.

[Ibrahim]

or perhaps subterranean.

Hell?

I can just see that one:
faction leader: Satan
FH: Cerberus
Head general: the Gate Keeper, who will banish you to the "blagole"*

unless you mean as in south of the mediterranean, in which case we could be looking at Arabianz or some other group.

*Spoony reference.

What can I say? Sweet :)

[Cyclops]

... perhaps subterranean.

Troglodytes?

[Ibrahim]

Troglodytes?

you mean these?

EDIT: nevermind, I just realized you meant red sea people.

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

New update:

Dark Furies drive the rise of this people, whose full might shall soon be revealed.

[Apázlinemjó]

New update:

Swebóz maybe?

[Lvcretivs]

...most likely - 'dark furies' - 'valkyries'/... is just the sort of oblique reference the EB Team would employ and enjoy ;)

Interesting Wikipedia factoid:

'Wælcyrge' ['Valkyrie'] is used to translate the names of the classical furies in two [Old English] manuscripts (Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, and the older Corpus Glossary). In the manuscript Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, wælcyrge is also used to gloss the Roman goddess Bellona. A description of a raven flying over the Egyptian army appears as wonn wælceaseg (meaning "dark one choosing the slain").

- remember the recent 'speak your own language' thread section...

...just idle speculation...

[Andy1984]

Finished the model for the sacred band unit, sneak peak: http://bit.ly/apxxIU and http://bit.ly/dbqCGG ~Tux

The sacred band-unit-model is simply beautiful.

[bobbin]

...most likely - 'dark furies' - 'valkyries'/... is just the sort of oblique reference the EB Team would employ and enjoy ;)

The notion of "furies" wasn't just confined to the germanic peoples you know.

[Lvcretivs]

Oh, I'm well aware of that (cf. the greek eumenides,...) ;)
Biased by Apázlinemjó's guess - 'Sweboz maybe?' - I just looked for some sort of rather speculative corroboration...;)

[Phalanx300]

Dark Furies? Would indeed sound like Germanic myths. Wouldn't know which other peoples in EB's time had Valkyries in their myths?

So yeah hopefully its the Preview of an Germanic faction, or a partly Germanic faction(Belgae one?).

[bobbin]

Wouldn't know which other peoples in EB's time had Valkyries in their myths?

I wouldn't know of any at all.
