The religious elite of Carthage? Can someone with some knowledge on those baby-sacrificing Carthaginians tell me who they are?
...obviously the Carthaginian Sacred Band - I'm really anxious to see their representation in EBII :)
More updates:

Finished the skin of the Italic spearman, and working on the new horses textures. - Gustave
Texturing and modelling horses is like making yet another army for the mod. Recently I have seen some RTW mods developped absolutely fabulous skins for horses (a good example is RotN mod, but there others as well). Cant wait for EBII version.
An Arabian preview? Nice.Quote:
Finalizing the Arabian Map and started working at a preview. - Moros
I wonder if it's a new faction or a Saba preview? Oh well in due time we shall all know.
It's an Arabian preview I'm working on. But it's not the only preview being worked on either.

Apart from Getai Part III (:clown:), the Saba preview is the one I anticipate most.Quote:

Hopefully they will preview some Germanics soon.

That's looks like some EB I units tranversed to MTW2:K. Where did you find this, was it another mod or something cause if so they have to ask permission first. (Unless for personal use) Or did you do it yourself to try and fool people. Everyone knows we're using new models and have even previewed the new versions of some of those units shown...
Oh-ooh, my lawyer's nose smells copy-right infringements! They're exact copies!
Edit: Moros, nachtje door? Examens zijn fantastisch hé? Morgen al mijn tweede examen, een zwaar plichtvak, 3 dagen na mijn eerste plichtvak. Gelukkig heb ik daarna 23 dagen voor een keuzevak dat open boek is... (De oenen in de examencommissie van Ugent, really...)
Ik heb er 3 op 5 dagen om daarna twee weken met mijn duimen te draaien voor ik mijn volgend vak heb. Ach ja dan kan ik tenminste een kleine pauze houden...Quote:

It's not just EB units, I'm seeing stuff that I think is RTR (judging by the style on the unit cards) so this definitely looks familiar... to those with memories remembering the saga with a different mix'n match mod.Quote:

What happened with the strict forum policy that all posts must be in English? :D
That was before the famous Dutch-Flemish colonization of the fora.
If you want to know, we were wishing each other luck for our exams and were complaning about the planning of our exams (little time for the hard ones, seas of time for the easy ones).
And now, back to topic!
PS: Tellos, and I'm editing this so I don't post in Dutch again, ik wou dat ik paniek had en haastig kon leren. Maar 3-4 uur op een dag lijkt mijn maximum te zijn... Niet dat ik klaag... Mooi 14 gemiddeld telkens, maar je begint je dan toch af te vragen; wat als ik nu eens 8u op een dag zou kunnen leren?
Dat gezegd zijnde, heb ik toch liever mijn examens mooi gespreid ipv alles op een hoopje en dan 3 weken tussen.
Unfortunatly that's not just a Dutch problem :SQuote:

Oh crap, banzaii is back...
EDIT : Yeah I recognize your mod. You used units from EB and RTR without permission and this is why you were banned.
To everyone : This is NOT EB2.
Can a moderator delete the links ?
Let me quote myself:Quote:

You ask who is Banzai and then you link to a forum where he placed his mod, which is full of units taken from mods without their permission. Stop posting those screenshots here!Quote:

And this, your honour, concludes our case. Hegemon is the name of a mod “created” by Banzai using roughly the following methodology:Quote:

(e) Get fried over it on a few forums. (See Total War Center for the whole sordid saga.)
[*] Well to be fair: Banzai did ask permission for some items, but there were way more items in his mod from others that he didn't ask for. And no: that a mod is released doesn't mean its creators are cool with someone ripping their stuff and slapping it together without observing a bit of etiquette over it, or that you even have the legal right to do so.
Another one

Ahem. That would be Hellenistic. But there is certainly no guarantee that the next preview will be such. Could be something a bit more West, perhaps south, or perhaps subterranean.Quote:

Interesting Wikipedia factoid:- remember the recent 'speak your own language' thread section...Quote:
'Wælcyrge' ['Valkyrie'] is used to translate the names of the classical furies in two [Old English] manuscripts (Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, and the older Corpus Glossary). In the manuscript Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, wælcyrge is also used to gloss the Roman goddess Bellona. A description of a raven flying over the Egyptian army appears as wonn wælceaseg (meaning "dark one choosing the slain").
...just idle speculation...
The sacred band-unit-model is simply beautiful. :thumbsup:Quote:

Dark Furies? Would indeed sound like Germanic myths. Wouldn't know which other peoples in EB's time had Valkyries in their myths?
So yeah hopefully its the Preview of an Germanic faction, or a partly Germanic faction(Belgae one?).
I wouldn't know of any at all.:clown:Quote:

I see, then I gues it might not be an Germanic faction. Then again seeing Twitter, what else is there to be updated? :inquisitive:Quote:
