February Preview!

A wonderfull preview I must say!

I have been convinced not to buy Medieval II by two things - gameplay problems (graphic ones confirmed by one of my friends) and High engine requirements...

Now having seen what a great work the EB team has done (till now...) - I might reconsider buying a better computer some day and buying Medieval II.

These models look fantastic - the Hoplitai seem like they could hold against anything. The Thureophoroi seem so eager to get at the flanks of the enemy forces and the Peltastai Makedonikoi seem ready to become that famous arrow...

The signatures are simply awesome.

I can hardly find words to express my admiration to all the work the EB team has done and must say that I wish the best of luck to all of them in the future.

A preview? Am I dreaming?

Haven't noticed those occultus Thureophoroi, do they belong to a as of yet not announced faction?

Occultus does mean that I think, which gives us reason to believe that there will be another Hellenic faction!

Not neccesarily, Pahlava had thureophoroi in EB1 and wasn't hellenic.

Which one? There are 4 videos, one for each unit. You must click on the renders to watch them.

I see, then I will come to this conclusion:

The occultus belong to a mini-succesor state, wasn't there at the start of this time frame another diadochi just above the Seleucids. They had the symbol of a wasp I believe.

@Lewagal: awesome sigs man! I'll rep you for this. (at TWceneter of course)

EDIT: will there be a hellenic or hellenic inspired faction, based on the Occultus?
