I gave it a second thought.
Maybe he will not find a TAXI but he could ride a horse. Or even a chariot. A sheep would probably be small for him but a cow?

P. S. An armoured elephant would cost him too many Mnai so it is not a solution.

Gaza campaign? Niko seemed to imply that we might be close to playing EB2 in some form or another.

In one tread some (questions from blablaforgothisname) they said sthat 2012 would be 'probable', so not that close, but close enough since EB2 is being developed since 2007. And after the announcement of Gaza Campaign I never heard anything about Gaza campaign anymore, perhaps it will be a tutorial in the main release instead of a seperate release, I don't know.

over 1 year ago the team was considering releasing mini mod/campaigns of wich the gaza campaign was/would be just 1 out of 6 releases until the full game would be released

so any sugestions about other possible "tutorials"/campaigns ?

i suspect a kind of:
greek golden age campaign
iberian mess campaign
greater gaul faceoff
early republic rome´s birth
the phoenician adventure

i think those could be very entertaining and very historically accurate campaigns to give more information on specific subjects particulary the iberian mess and the greater keltika campaign to explain the true political status of all those confederacies where you had very limited resources and with those resources you had to try and get more and more tribes on your side by either destroying tribes gifting lands bribing assembly´s forging and breaking of alliances foundation of colonies and all of those kind of things where to control a region you had to spend twice as much then what the region could give you wich would forçe to act smart instead of trying to take over by sheer brute forçe

Dou you have any source/link for this "1 out of 6 releases until the full game"? I only know something about the Gaze Campaign as the *one* Tutorial which will be released before the full release.

i suspect a kind of:
greek golden age campaign
iberian mess campaign
greater gaul faceoff
early republic rome´s birth
the phoenician adventure

In addition to my general doubts, I think, these campaigns are mostly in too different time periods to be accurately represented by the units of EB II.

it was just something that a few people where discussing in the gaza campaign area and at the time i went against it since it "could" break the game into smaller campaigns instead of the imense world that the original eb offered

also besides the gaza campaign the rest was just me blabering out some off shoot mindless ideas to see if i could hit the target

can´t recall where i saw it it was over 1 year ago but i clearly remember moros being there and maybe odysseus busting my balls about my crazy points of view :\

Tellos Athenaios

07-19-2011, 14:59

As I recall the Gaza Campaign is a very linear thing designed to show you a few points of attention you need to keep in mind for the main campaign dressed up in a pretty package that conveniently happens to reuse pretty much all of the early EB 2 work. So when we settled on doing that, it did not imply a huge metric tonne of work compared to what your idea of mini campaigns would entail... It's just a tutorial campaign, and the units are the same as the one you'd see in the main mod.

I don't know why, but for me, a good unit card is a must if I want to use a unit. I'm strange I know.

this is not weird at all. ugly unit cards do not get used. it's why i like Theurophoroi so much, their unit card is really natural in its pose and shows the full color.

I also like that Baktria has their special unit cards for standard units, their guys look a lot better.

oh! Pandotapoi's look really ugly in their unit card. i don't like to use them despite having to for accuracy

Brave Brave Sir Robin

08-15-2011, 07:32

Yes Baktria's Psioli units do seem to have a unique flair due to their differering poses to the other Hellenistic ones. Such a stupid reason for not using units but I see its not limited to me. Also, units that have cards which were clearly designed by a different artist (e.g. Elite African Infantry) and don't fit in with the rest of the army's unit cards tend to see limited action as well.

(I mean no disrespect by this. All I'm saying is that most of the unit cards were done in one style and so the other ones sort of stick out.)

Did Arabs speak Arabic at this point in time or was it an earlier Semitic language? This could be what they are working on.

Moros

08-29-2011, 19:55

The Sabaeans spoke Sabaic, which belongs to the Ancient South Arabians language group together with Qatabânic, Minaic and Hadramawtic. This group belongs to the family of the Western South Semetic languages. Of which Ge'ez (ancient Ethiopian) was part as well. Obviously this family of languages was part of the Semetic stock just like Akkadian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Punic and yes Arabic. Arabic however is from after our game's period.
As you can see above in only the region of Yemen there already were like four languages. There clearly was no singular language in Arabia at the time. In the north people spoke Thamudic, Saffaitic,... in the East there were Hasaitic dialects for one. Aramaic and other languages also let their mark on the region. Arabic evolved in North West Arabia after our time frame and was spread after and due to the birth of Islam.

Shadowwalker

08-31-2011, 17:19

*shakes head*
I'm always astonished how you can see the details you talk about in such little teasers.
The only things I can spot for sure are:
- a spear (could be a javelin even, just a bit thick for that)
- an edge of a (leather? fortiefied wood?) shield with some orange relief/sign on it
- an upper arm that is partly covered by some red cloth
- a small part of a brown body armour that looks like hardened leather
- some black/white structure that doesn't make any sense to my eyes

So ....where did you spot a shortsword for example?

My wild guess would be - since Gustave hinted about a greek elite unit - either the Thorakitai Hoplitai (although I thought they didn't wear leather, have to re-check this) or Epilektoi Hoplitai (although leather makes even less sense in that case....)
Seems I'm not even nearly educated enough for this. :D

Anyway - I hope someone will guess it right soon, I want to know what that black/white thing is ;)

LusitanianWolf

08-31-2011, 17:23

As you said in the TWC

It isn't that hard, especially if you read previous twitter posts. If you find the name i'll show full renders of the unit.
.
If isnt Lusitanian must be a greek elite unit with very rich helmets, with many decorative items.. Maybe some kind of Elite Hoplitai/Thorakitai? The leather armour doesnt seem to fit with any well armoured elite of any greek faction I can remember from EB1. And the red color.... Maybe Bosphorous?

Arjos

08-31-2011, 17:27

That black and white thing is a scabbard :P
Went for a shortsword 'cos the grip seems quite straight from what I can see...
The pattern on the shield looks like some grain ear or anything "drop" shaped, mmmm if Sparte is closer, could it be some Neodamodeis or Perioikoi?

:grin: I'd say this was my best wild guess ever. :grin:

And the unit looks absolutely stunning.
Great work there.
The level of detail you people manage to present with your units is .... [insert fitting word here, I'm speechless].
Especially the slightly worn/battered shields that bear marks of previous fights.
I've said it a few times already and I gladly repeat myself: EB II is sooo worth the wait. :2thumbsup:
(I expect the first version to be out not before Spring 2014 by the way but that's alright. First I wait seven years, then I will be busy playing this game at least ten years. Sounds fair. :grin: )

@Arjos:
Thanks for that hint. :) But even with that knowledge I am confused there. For my eyes this scabbard is "turned into the wrong direction" somehow. *scratches head*

@Gustave (again):
May I perhaps ask for a slightly larger part of the pic you posted as a teaser, just to be able to see that sword a bit better?

@fightermedic:
I know what you mean. The EB I Hoplitai Epilektoi were just because of the model and colours one of my favourite units (although I never played a KH campaign successfully).
But I have to say that this new version is at least (!) on par.

EDIT:

True EB ones were very flashy, but these really say "we are veterans been through hell", the others said "we can afford shiny gear" :D

Hehe I'm glad you like them ! The modeler (JMRC) also deserves a round of applause (and Alin as well, as a this model uses a lot of model parts he created).
Concerning the shield paintings, I heard it was common for rich people to pay an artist to paint the shields. Therefore the paintings look better than average units.

I agree, the shields are amazing, the centaur one is my favorite as well. One thing I noticed in the teaser pic is the amount of detail that is put into the skins, like the stitching on the shield, that's something you miss in the renders and screenshots which are zoomed out more.

I would say its some kind of roman because of the armor type .. but at the very moment i cant remember an exact name of some roman cavalry unit (does "alani" exist :$) .. thats why i said "equites romani"

Ludens

09-15-2011, 10:31

Yes, it looks like quality chainmail. So if it isn't Roman, my guess would be Donno Eporedoi (Brihentin).

Ca Putt

09-15-2011, 10:36

well I see a Horse, a bit of plate armor, something that looks like cheek guards or a facemask and a lengthly wooden? No Idea what that could be, In any case I think the unit did not have the same equipment in EB I or is new alltogether.

the plate suggests it's a roman or hellenic unit but the shields would point towards a less urban society.

Gustave

The armour isn't chainmail, and the guy doesn't have any mustache :beam:

Hotseat_User

09-15-2011, 11:37

well, I can't see a horse. But I go for some sort of charriot(sp?) unit! the soldier is ducking down behind the leather-wooden frame of a charriot. at least thats my guess. and the armor? maybe from one of the diadochi-kingdoms.

Ludens

09-15-2011, 11:43

It isn't chainmail? It's grey, so it seems unlikely to be linothorax, and I don't know of Classical plate armour that looks like that (other than the lorica segmentata, but that seems unlikely).

The Carthaginians were famous for their purple dye, so could it be the HaParasim HaB'hurim (Carthaginian nobles)?

Ca Putt

09-15-2011, 11:44

no shield, so the wooden thingy must be... a chariot? a Siege engine?

silly me, It cannot be a shield otherwise it would have to be worn on the left arm XD

maybe hotseat user is right, a Seleucid Chariot?

Funny that one of them has the leopard hide like the hetairoi in alexander´s time.
Were they influenced by that? And is the first horse´s armour made of ironplates,
just because they seem to have a very bright colour?

By the way, this looks very very good, espescially the bronce muscle cuirasse.
These were one of my favourite Horsemen in EBI... Thinking of that, dindn´t they use to have
a small shield in EBI?

Arjos

09-15-2011, 13:48

Don't know for the skin and scales, but I don't think that they are the Sacred Band Cavalry, just mounted nobles...

Edit: To add from the preview, the sacred band cavalry was a misconception...

Historically the number of Carthaginian citizenry who were regularly trained and prepared for war were few, though they did exist. Those of this group from the wealthier families, or who became independently wealthy, would have the means to equip themselves as cavalry above and beyond the regular citizen cavalry called together in times of need. These cavalry would typically be deployed where they could do the most good, such as on the right flank of the army, where the infantry division of the phalanx known as the Sacred Band was deployed. These elite cavalry were at some point incorrectly labelled as a mounted version of those picked phalanx troops and the misnomer stuck through the ages, building a legend upon itself including being the temple warriors of Astarte. There is another famous legend about the supposed mounted Sacred Band from later history wherein they are denied to Hannibal at Zama. This story is extremely circumspect, especially considering the illusion that is the mounted Sacred Band. Regardless, the story is intended to prove a point about the attitude of the anti-Barcid party in the Carthaginian council. That is to say that they did not support Hannibal, even at the threat of their own lives and would not support him in the least.

I had that on my mind somehow. I think it was in the Romani II preview, but I´m not sure, may be my twisted mind. I´ll search for it.
How many rounds will they have? Two like in EBI?

EDIT:
OK, found it. I think I misunderstood:
"They have a pilum as secondary weapon, so you can make them throw it manually or in autofire.
The "throw javelin before charge" aptitude is buggy, sometimes the soldiers with this attribute don't attack anymore and get slaughtered in close combat, so we don't use it" - By gustave on the twcenter.net

They get 2 in the EDU, although because not all of the soldiers throw their pila in each attack you usually end up a few extra volleys.

Does this mean that phalangites will not have a secondary weapon, then? Because that would leave the flank and rear of the phalanx completely exposed, and I didn't see a secondary weapon in the screens.

Right now they have a secondary weapon (you can see the scabbards in some of the pics) but we might have to remove it if the phalanx isn't working how we want it to.

Also, I'm sure this has been asked (literally sure) but are those the final horses? They seem slightly on the biggish side in some of the previews.

I hope not Stratigos, because quite frankly it is not good enough. See how straight the head flies? And how easy.

Indeed, I am sure team EB can do better than that.

Here is some er... concept art for the animators:

I've argued against decapitations before: it's simply not realistic. Decapitation is difficult enough when the victim is bound and has his head on the block: until the invention of the guillotine it often took multiple tries. In face-to-face combat, that's just not feasible; and not practical either. You don't need to split the vertebra to kill someone: severing the throat arteries is quite sufficient, and a lot easier. There's no reason to go for the back of the neck.

Dismemberment is possible with axes and heavy chopping swords, but I don't think it was that common. The shield was the cheapest and most common piece of defensive equipment, and a shielded opponent would only expose his weapon arm when striking. It's also difficult to make these animations look anything but schlocky, so I doubt the team will bother with it.

I thought that the death animations in M2TW were a huge improvemwnt over RTW´s, eventhough it´s just more eyecandy (which with EB2 is loaded allready).
I can imagine that it is a lot of work to do them yourselfs, but are there any new special ones for the overhaed spear, which so many units use?

There´s a whole new family for the hoplite animations, if that´s what you mean.

If you mean fatalities for the hoplite family, no, we haven´t done that yet because some attack anims of that anim family will be revamped.

How are we supposed to guess something we've never heard of? Not even Bilbo Baggins would make such a cruel riddle!

Perhaps the Alani / Massagetae?

I suggested the Thyssagetae once, but I think they were ruled them out. Perhaps the Alani are a better chance?

News!

While you wait for news about the Taksashila, check our Youtube channel! We have uploaded new EB sountracks: https://www.youtube.com/user/EuropaBarbarorum?feature=mhee#p/u/6/wMYkOGyZ7xM Enjoy!

Wow, who made the music? It's very good at setting the mood and theme of a game I'd imagine!

EDIT: Just read the channel, PC made it. It's very good.

Expect awesome news about the Gandahara! ;D

I know, wildly unsubstantiated, completely unfounded and horribly belated speculation as usual ;) - but these mysterious news - a first glimpse at the EBII 'Indo-Saka' ?? - would not possibly also include presentation of an innovative script representing/regulating Baktria/Seleukid -Taksashila/Maurya relations, which would inter alia simulate optional establishment of an 'Indo-Greek' kingdom if the Baktrian player choses to expand southward (Gandhara)?

Given Tanit's hints (Taksashila Preview) at scripted events and multiple player's choices which will simulate and influence Taksashila-Mauryan Empire relations I wouldn't be surprised in the least if similar scripts and player choices are planned/currently worked out to flesh out Taksashila's diplomatic/military/mercantile interactions with it's Eastern Greek neighbors.
