"Reading up on the ethnicities and unique buildings of a very interesting new faction. - Moros"
This is intriguing - I assume "moros" stands for mauri or moors, ie a Numidian faction. Has the team decided to include this faction already, or is it merely being considered?
Moros is EB team's Belgian. While he is not busy eating waffles and drinking beer, he's researching on our secret factions.Quote:

Ah, silly me misread it. Still, it suppose a numidian faction is a possibility.
I think it's the Belgae.
Sorry for the off topic but what is a twitter entry?
@miotas: Well, have a look into the newest preview. ~;)
okay...:inquisitive:
How on earth did I avoid finding out about twitter for so long? Still, it seems largely usless to me so I will continue to ignore it's existence.:shrug:
Sorry to have derailed the thread, I'll be off now.
Hmmm, actually "Moros" means moron in Ancient Greek, but yeah he's an EB member.Quote:

Nah, it's much more subtle. Tanit may know it...

Dunno, probably. But the word "Moros" (Μωρος in Greek), means moron.Quote:

For crying out loud, can't team members say anything without people going totally insane?
It is pretty easy to guess what Moros is researching. Just search this very forum for the threads Moros has posted in.
Oaky I admit Bartix is in.:embarassed:
Edit: Now while I may be an idiot I rather named myself after a god. How vain, is it not?
He was the son of Erebus and Nyx and brother of Thanatos, Moros was appropriately the god of doom.
I think you may understand that what I said was nothing personal, I just happened not to know of that deity's existence :sweatdrop:Quote:

May be they didnt call himself Belgae, but I guess they were the same people with probably that similar celtic culture influenced by the germani wich lately we knew better via Julius Caesar.Quote:

Perhaps you should wonder why they become avaible after reforms. ~:) The belgae came to Britain in the 2nd Century BC. In the 5 century BC there had been a migration of La tene Celts though.Quote:
