What will the next faction preview be?
I think it'll be Iberia, or maybe Rome.
Personally, I don't want Rome to be previewed at all - I want the Republic to be a pleasant surprise. :book:

I hope it's rome , I really want to see how they have done Rome.
However I think they are going to wait showing rome till the last preview
:balloon2:
Pontus
I'm itching to see Armenia but I also hope Rome will be previewed soon too, just because I'm curious to see how they handle it being divided to multiple factions.
Let's make a list of the remaining possibles:
Iberia
Sarmatia
Parthia
Pontus
Allied Hellenes
Armenia
Thrace
Rome (possibly 3 factions -separate previews?)
Dacia
Have I missed anyone? I think that's all that's left.
Pontus or Armenia
I guess Allied Helenes, but I hope it'll be Thrace
I'm hoping for an eastern faction (Armenia, Pontus, Parthia),
and it would be great if they did Rome but it will probably be last.
I hope it will be Parthia or Dacia .
Sadly, no. :embarassed:Quote:
Parthia ffs.
I like to see Dacia or Iberia.
What is the status of these factions, are there enough units done to show them as a weekly preview ?!
I wish they shall be the Parthians! :charge:
I'm hoping to see Iberia
Pontus
'would it be fair if i'll bet
I doubt it'll be any of the above - more likely to be duggadugga or something equally unpronouncable. Sure they may be pink, they may come from the east and be mainly horse archers but they won't be Parthia - to give an example. ~;)
How ignorant! It's the Ljkoihpuih-Prdtcousaht from Kjsdasrtyrfu... I have information in book and of the internet that proves it. ~:joker:Quote:

Work :whip: ~;)
Sarmatia.
We should be taking bets on which will be released first. BI or EB. My $$$'s are on BI!
i HOPE not allied hellens as we have already seen plenty of hellinis nations.
I would love to see Rome or one of the factions, but if not making a preview means that it will be doen faster then no more previews, i am drooling already and i need this mod soon or i might die...
BY the way, are they thinking August for the open Beta???
Unfortunately, I believe you may be rightQuote:

EB is experiencing a (hopefully) temporary lapse of activity. Some key persons in making the preview are currently semi-inactive, which bogs down the speed at which you will recieve the preview.
~Wiz
Could you just rehash one of the old goodies but with some previously unseen units & screenies from different angles...
I vote Cahix :bulb:
Ok, I will wait.Quote:

Actually, dgb gets props for being the first to guess Pontus (or Pontos, if you prefer). ~:cheers:
My bet is on Iberia or whatever EB will call this faction ~;)
Lets see if I can do it two times... I say Thrace for the next preview.
Isn't Thracia dead and gone in order to make place for Baktria?
No, Numidia it`s dead to make place for Baktria.Quote:

I of course may be wrong.
Foot
Maybe there is a secret faction replacing Numidia...personally, I'd love to see some kind of african faction to challenge those corrupted Ptolemaics...
The cultures we are using are no longer the same ones that were in vanilla.
As of now the only faction taken out is Numidia in favor of Baktria.
~Wiz
Iberia damn it IBERIA!
Thank you for the explanation, Wiz. By the way, great work with the preview! Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of hellenes now...but I guess every faction will work just as well...Quote:

mmmm, I have a feeling that given the nomadic nature of parthia, while we've been waiting for them for a long time they're probably gonna turn out to be (apart from the cataphracts, which will be amazing) mostly dirty people in brown outfits (or brightly coloured outfits maybe, I dont know) with really good bows. And spearmen.
Same with sarmatia, though they would have some really beautiful heavy cavalry too
I would much rather see armenia, which probably had a lot more heavy infantry and stuff like that.
armenia or parthia.
I reckon it will be another non-faction preview. We'll see.
Probably not, we've seen the maps already... what else is there? It's kinda hard to preview gameplay dynamics without playing the game itself. Possibly a faction again... and yes, I hope it's the Dahae, or alternatively Sarmatia. I want to see some HA.
Dahae? We don't have a faction of them. They're rebels. We do have the Parni which were part of the Dahae, who then became the Parthians...
are we getting one at all this time. :embarassed:
Iberia, pleeeeeeeease ~:mecry:
It appears that there will not be an update this weekend, or perhaps even until this coming weekend. The Wizard has been away. However, we are preparing three factions for you in quick succession, assuming we get that far.
awwwwww..... *like a little kid who rushes out the door just in time to see the ice cream van drive away*
the Wizard or Khelvan, can we expect a new preview this weekend or do we have wait longer?!
This weekend, there will be a preview. ~D
And we're working already on the next few previews, so hopefully we will be prepared. ~;)
Iberia?, Please let it be Iberia! I've been waiting so long to see the Iberic warrios you guys have skinned
im hoping for allied hellenes
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, to much pikes ~;)Quote:

Iberia pleaseeee ~:cool: ~:cool:
The Armenians, cause they kick ass!
^^^^^ What he said! ~:cheers:
Armenia or parni. I just want to see some horsemen as so far we have mainly seen "greek" or or north west barb units.
I want to see Britian
It was done already, Casse.
Can we europeans expect the update soon or do we have to wait for tomorrow?
~D
Well, no one expected the Sarmatians (can't spell it the EB does ~;p) this week!
How about next?
I say...
...
...
Iberia.
Iberia would be a nice change, we already seen most of the romans thanks to prom, so im hoping its not them.
Remaing factions
allies hellens
dacia
thrace
rome
iberia
armenia
parthia
Im guessing it will be thrace or dacia, or at least hoping, cause we havent seen anything like these yet, and rtr hardly even gave them any notice.
we've seen Romans? I don't recall... jog my memory? please?
Prometheus's (Prom) mod, Res Gestae (check the Forge) showcases Roman units like those in EB. I think since he made them.
also prom used to have a screenshot thread here. He did all the romans long ago and some other various units.
Those were all WIPs.
all i remember of rome is: princepes, 2 types triarii, early cohort, early preatorian cohort, and teh 'late' versions of the latter. maye soem equites, not sure. think not. *checking sheep's thread*
I want more barbarians. Thats what this mods about aint it 0_o
No, this mod is about making the imperial campaign more fun, challenging, and historically accurate.
I came here because i was told it was barbarian focused =(
Well, we have members who are focused on the barbarians, and we give equal treatment to all archaeological and literary sources for them, not just Greek and Roman sources, so some people think we are "barbarian focused." It isn't true, we just don't feel that sources and archaeological finds should be dismissed because they aren't Greek or Roman.
Always a plus, ill probly only be playing as barbarian factions anyway. They are such a huge improvment over the original ones from whats been shown sofar.
Yeah, I'm glad EB isn't just 'barbarian focused' It would be kinda weird to have all these beautifully detailed barbarian units, only to send them into combat against the lime green romans :dizzy2: It might spoil the effect.
Incidently Randykapp, I really don't wanna sidetrack this discussion or anything, but It's nice to see another guy from Belfast around here. I'm from Newtownards (about 5-10 miles outside Belfast) it's just unusual.
Anyhow, I hope the next preview iiiiiiiis *pause pause pause* Armenia! Because I really want to see their heavy cavalry/heavy infantry/ horsearcher combination, so see if it's as unbeatable in EB as in RTW (I mean geez those cataphract horsearchers were really something)
Tis indeed.Quote:
