    Default Easter Unit Preview

    Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.


    Easter is upon us, so we thought we'd beat the Easter Bunny this year when it comes to presents with a unit preview. The following units will be in the next build, which we are working on at a steady pace.
    And oh...we've also selected five new additional factions for EB2
    Expect the Occultus sig images to return in the future.

    And now...the units. Remember that the names are not final and just WIP for some units.

    And a happy Easter!!

    Hayasdan - Kardakâ Arteshtâr (Persian Hoplite) by antiochus epiphanes & stefan


    Arverni - Kluddacorii by stefan


    Raetic Phalanx -stefan




    And some Easter bonus goodies:

    New faction icons:






    We hope you have enjoyed this preview.

    Those units are awsome.

    1st icon=western numidia? (only faction on the current map that would use elephants)

    2nd icon= Shows a sea God of some sort, so might be midland Briton, but it looks more Greek that Celtic. Black Sea Greek kingdom.

    Truly Badass.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    It says 5 new factions. Which means current factions + 5 new.

    Gotta update the preview.

    Well, it helps if you know your iconography. You have a deity who has a beard, a staff, and half his body exposed standing next to an elephant with relatively small ears compared to the rest of his body and a small, winged figure. Hmmm...

    Those Epilektoi Hoplitai looks amazingly awesome badasses!! Great work!!

    The first faction icon is probably Bactria. Indian (smaller ears) elephant, Zeus...

    Btw, will there be only 5 new factions in EB2?

    Whoa, great preview!

    But just hold on one second, those faction icons are a remake of some of the current factions, or are they some icons for the 5 new factions in EB2?

    I`m confused...

    Well to stop some discussions because some people forget.

    There are 30 factions + rebels in MTW2. 99% sure it is.

    Which means there will be 10 new factions in EB2.
    5 out of 10 factions have been chosen.

    And we might tell you if those faction icons are for EB2 or for another project.

    31 factions according to CA. Indo-Greeks as an emerging faction for the first perhaps?

    There will be NO Indogreeks as a separate faction in EB2.

    No? Bears a striking resemblance to indo-greek coinage though:


    ah, seperate faction.

    Well there will be a "new faction" in the next release of EB - those aren't it, though.

    Also, take a good look at those Epilektoi Hoplitai KH-heads. Meet your new General Bodyguard unit! (I suspect even the Spartan-lovers won't be disappointed)

    Wait hasn't EB reached the faction limit? Are we going to have to say goodbye to a present faction to make room for the new one? or is this a redirection of a present faction ala Iberia to Lusotainia.

    I think that the "new faction" that kull mentions, is a quit big redoing of one curent faction, and if it's what i think, I just cant wait.

    I think the eb team must be out testing out some of the stuff Gaesatae use, just using it to cause chaos among fans though.

    Anyways great preview

    I'm pretty sure that this "new faction" is the absolutely redone Pahlava faction. The Creator already said that Pahlave has to be redone completely, to show that it was nomadic at the game's start and such.
    Because, if they mean it another way, it would mean one faction has to die for another, because EB meets the faction limit. And I don't think any of the current factions deserves to die!
    Oh, and perhaps they're going to finally implement working reforms for everyone, no more Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi and Hysteroi Pezhetairoi in the 3rd century b.c.
    So, I can't wait anymore, release it or I'm forced to wait...

    Can the faction icon be changed halfway through a campagin?

    Because I think that the Bactria would get the elephant icon once it conquered India becoming the Indo-Greek, and the Saka would get the weird horsey thing once it conquers India, becoming the Indo-Saka.


    Couild be a load of junk but thats my idea
