Inquisitive people may find a new EB unit that was shown for the first time within the last few days if they have enough time on their hands and visit other RTW sites. :laugh4:
Please don't spoil the fun by linking to it too quickly though. Let folks have a little scavanger hunt on their own if they're interested. (Muwhahahaha!)
Perhaps the "Koinon Hellenon Strategos" unit by Spartan_Warrior? It looks amazing. As requested, no link though. :)
Does this mean that this forum is not the place to get EB info? :o
In this specific instance? Yes. :grin:
TREACHERY!!! :dizzy2:
WOW!
Screw the rules, here's the link:

Ooops! It seems the letters are all scrambled! Oh no!
God damnit.
That`s not funny, you know...
Pray for me not finding it, cuss by all menas i`ll post tha link.
It couldn't be it, could it? Unless, if by 'other RTW sites' TA was talking about EB's own site.Quote:

Well, a shoddy coverup before by the webmaster (:sweatdrop: ) seems to be the reason this page, which was not supposed to be released atm, to be released :laugh4:
Enjoy the units listed there...and as a mild "punishment" consider it the August preview. :balloon2:
Yeah, saw that when the site announced a new models section and found it wasn't working. Looking great!
Thanks for the link. A lot of good stuff there. :2thumbsup:
Me too. I thought that I couldn't get to the models page because Krusader's OnMouseOver javascript thingy wasn't being quite understood by Firefox or the Proxomitron, so I went there the manual way. It wasn't hard to extrapolate the correct filename.Quote:

Also, going over some images, there's an unit on the EB site which definitely confirms what the next faction will be. It's a public image, just look carefully.
I love the idea of seperating Carthaginian units into early and late. May I ask what the late units represent - more like Carthage towards the end of the Punic wars or a "what-if Carthage had won" type? I suppose it's probably in between (i.e. based on developments late in the Punic Wars), but what is the spirit of these units biased towards?
When does carthage reform? Same time as Polybian and Neitos? Will this be dynamic in .8?Quote:

ha! Wardo that link doesnt work!
Compare images on shields to the released faction symbol. It's on the site.
Nope, call me blind, but i`ve sought it for 30min, and to no avail...
I cannot see this "new faction" amongst the units either, the only other faction symbol I know of that is not in the game is the white goat symbol (which may be in the game for all i know) but i cant find any new symbold on the shields other than the bruttian and skythian one.....give me another clue plz........
As of right now, there is no reform. The units are available from the start, as long as you have the right level MIC. Couldn't tell you whether they will be in the next build, but if they are they will probably either be scripted or dynamic.Quote:

I do know that the impact of the reforms on the soldiers of Carthage were felt by the time of the Second Punic war, as Hannibal led his most elite of Carthaginian troops against Rome with their reformed equipment. And with his tactics to back it up, these men formed the backbone of his force, until late in the conflict when he had to rely on a majority of mercenary troops from Italy and Gaul.Quote:

So we don't get to hear about the revised recruitment or other new faction? Will Khelvan not even tease us with hints?Quote:

I am not quite sure which unit it is either, but the team has uploaded several new models in the gallery of the EB website under 3D models.
Chill out, dude. :shame:Quote:
