Just some announced factions from the previews that we can play in custom battles... That would be more than enough for me until EB2 finally is released! ~:)
Has the team announced having all units made for any of the new factions? If not why would they let unfinished work out of their hands?
I believe that everyone would love to play custom battles with even unfinished unit rosters, but considering that team has announced gaza campaign as a sort of demo I find it unlikely that they would also release custom battles demo before it.
I understand completely the teams decision to release eb2 as complete as possible instead of tiny bits, this way the developers will have free hands in designing the mod whereas the other option would likely result in some fans complaining about bugs and such. That would harm the mod killing the hype which is bound to come when it is finally released.
I didn't know that the team have announced Gaza campaign.. That is a good news!
Edit: I mean announced as that they release it as sort of a demo..
Calling it sort of a demo is my perception, I don't know what expression the team uses of it. Preview says that the gaza campaign will introduce players to eb2's mechanics/features so I'd say demo is correct expression.Quote:

It will indeed introduce players to a few of the new mechanics that will make the final EB II such a different and more complex game.
It will be released when it's done.
I will download it then when it's done. ~:)
btw will the first release also feature factions not in the gaza Campaign in costom battles? like ... the sweboz?(with limited roster offcource)
Yes of course. All the factions we have shown in previews will be in first release.Quote:

Well the factions like Sweboz and such will probably only be there in custom battles. Would be nice for multiplayer though to keep us busy ;).
I'm afraid that's not what Moros meant, I think. With 'the first release' he probably means the first full release with most factions on the full campaign map.Quote:
