More of what? Whom? Where? :D

[athanaric]

More of what? Whom? Where? :D

The new Han invasion script.

[Horatius Flaccus]

But the question is when? In a week? 2 months? 6 months?

This is just teasing, and it drives me crazy!

[eddy_purpus]

Athan...
You mean more Barthix invasion scripts to the northern western Europe countries :D?

[Elzeda]

I'm putting my money on the great comeback of the Fire Pigs

[Paltmull]

More of what? Whom? Where? :D

Previews!!

[Biowulf]

Making sure Huene, our new talented modeller, is making our first Sabaean unit historically accurate. -Moros

I'm excited by this too. More modellers=closer finishing date!

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Four new updates since last time:

Finished a bearded officer – Gustave

Live, swordsmen of the north – Moros

Spears have now also joined the ranks of the new EB II arabian warriors. – Moros

The Model of another cetic general is finished. Working on the next one. – JMRC

[Phalanx300]

New Arabian warriors, possible new faction?

Swordsmen form the north, Lugii perhaps? If they return as swordsmen at least.

There will be a Casse preview in April probably, i guess that's where the swordsmen of the north belong :D

[-Praetor-]

North of what?

Technically, numidian swordsmen would be swordsmen from the north of the Sahara...

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Maybe a noble Scandinavian unit? (When I see "from/out of the north, I always think viking!)

I doubt that's the point of the message... To not try to mislead us o wicked one... :)

Yes but we both now that itsn't the case ;).

[Huene]

[Biowulf]

You're such a tease :(

Well are we? Oudysseos mentioned a Casse preview is coming in April on the TW forums. But then again, you are an EB member now, so you do know i thing or 2 :) Perhaps there are 2 previews coming? Casse plus Nervii? :D

[Lvcretivs]

Live, swordsmen of the north – Moros

...maybe a first finished unit for an yet-to-be-announced Belgae preview? 'swordsmen' seem rather suggestive of an revised EBII version of EBI's Milnaht (just a wild guess)...

[Moros]

You guys should know better.

[anubis88]

You guys should know better.

Well you are as you told me the Arabian faction(s)? guy... And bearing in mind you have an occultus sign, swordsmen of the north could also mean Nabatea amirite?

[Moros]

Ah getting warmer.

[Ca Putt]

could the faction symbol in morus' sig actually depict a Camel/Dromedary?

still "northern Swordsmen" could mean anything from the casse sword masters to the aforementioned nabatean swordsmen. :~

[anubis88]

Ah getting warmer.

Damn, Nabatea was my best shot. I have no idea about any other faction in the area :(

Oh, P.S. Did that book of the Saba i mentioned gave any information that might be implemented?

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Is there a Jewish or Syrian/Palmyrene sword unit then?

[Huene]

Is there a Jewish or Syrian/Palmyrene sword unit then?

if you refering to the twitter updates... no. if not... i dont know

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

if you refering to the twitter updates... no. if not... i dont know

Well, whatever Moros was talking about.

[Huene]

then no. close but still no

[anubis88]

AAAAAAAAAAA........ We have a new middle eastern faction!!!! Or we will learn it's just a new Seleucid regional :S

Haven't read nor bought it yet. I'm a bit bussy with papers for school (one on mithridates VI, the other about Augustus) and for EB I'm focussing on getting the last bits of unit conception done. Probably will look into it during easter break.

Edit: I've told once before that we'd add more regionals to arabia. As the south didn't fight like the north, nor did the west fight like the east. Hence there'll be a lot of regionals, but not necessarily linked to a single settlement or tribe. There'll be more generic units too, this one will be such a unit for north arabia. But that's all I have to say about the regional units until an arabian preview. But that's not for the next first weeks.
