Is this confirmed or speculation? It could just be a preview on an already confirmed faction from EB1... I sincerely hope you're right though.

Only my speculation

Only my speculation

I really hope you're right, but I'm really scared of April 1st right around the corner. Beware Moros everyone! April Fools is coming!

[DaciaJC]

Tomorrow, tomorrow,... Is only a daaay aaawaaaaaaaay! ~Moros

It looks like I'll finally experience a decent Monday. :D

[Maeran]

That could mean Moros was watching Annie.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

It looks like I'll finally experience a decent Monday. :D

And yesterday was April Fool's.

[machinor]

Awwwww! I was hoping for a nifty exclusive Bartix faction preview for April 1st. :(

[Ca Putt]

How tricky of them, as all of us expected a grand april fools preview, they did the thing that we expected least ... nothing!

[nazgool]

Moros has a new sig banner - SB'W-GWM, New name for saba ?

[Ca Putt]

AHHHHH, gotta love those names without vowels

News from twitter

Busy with several things like new battlemap water textures, watchtowers, ui changes and new trade ship icon. https://img21.imageshack.us/img21/74...4021519168.jpg ~Tux

nice water Tux, it's look like real :). BTW. There is Very intresting unit card on this picture. Is this Kṣatriya Gadāhasta Yoddhṛ or something else ? :)

[Moros]

As far as I know all Indian units we've made are already previewed.

[Tux]

That is true!

And thanks, trying my best.

[Arjos]

something else ? :)

They seem to be holding aspis, might be Peltastai Makedonikoi...

[Ptolemaios]

Is that a 30 on the unitcard, or a 300? If it is the latter this would make for some huge battles. I think the greatest unit I have seen so far in any M2TW mod was like 250.

[Tux]

It's 302 in fact.

They seem to be holding aspis, might be Peltastai Makedonikoi...

I won't say.

[stratigos vasilios]

News!

Campaign map just got itself a complete new look w/ new trees, volcanos, roads, grounds and many more. ~Tux

Looking good guys!

[rickinator9]

Good job, sir!

[stratigos vasilios]

Working on a new side mod that will come with some post processing effects and made new blood textures: https://img836.imageshack.us/img836/...755069.jpg~Tux

Dead warriors on the ground look amazing. I've been loving your sneak peaks lately Tux!

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

I know this is dumb but I hope EBII has new death animations. Vanilla ones were almost all the same unless there was a special death anim.

[nazgool]

On TWC, Tux published more screenshots and Moros published piece of map.

Heh, you spot them however they're pretty old. :)

More pics sincer you can't see much in there and twitter allows just a few:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Some help for the map:

Yep added, and mix of blood and dirt overlay textures.

Also about that side mod I was talking:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Which is the original render?

Ahh how I love teasing you guys like now:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And yes, those are just some Pantodapoi.

[Tux]

Seems you went ahead of me.
Hope everyone enjoys the screenies and thoughts on the side mod are welcome.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Gah Moros. The black borders over part of the Belgae regions and cutting the border off over the Illyrian area as well. Trying to get us wondering even more.

[Ca Putt]

curious thing tho: Corsica and the Boii have 2 provinces!!!

[Arjos]

Am I dreaming or these hoplitai are using secondary kopis? :O
One on the left is using an overhand dory, which is the main?

BTW I'm loving the blooded hand on some shields, very nice details Tux ^^

Perhaps they are Hypaspists? The equipment seems rather high quality to be standard hoplites with several full body cuirasses being noticeable. Plus they all bear silver shields. Definitely some sort of royal unit.

Oh, and the Corsica thing was already established, perhaps in the Carthage preview. Corsica and Sardinia will share a coastal town and an inland town to represent how closely tied they were but also how difficult it would be to pacify the inland away from the coast.

[Arjos]

Yeah, must be them (there's also the vergina sun), I just don't know how it is in M2TW, as in RTW they would have the front line using spears due to bad engine...
While here seems to be the opposite, finally less microing and a proper phalanx in guard mode :P

[stratigos vasilios]

(there's also the vergina sun)

I love Vergina.

[moonburn]

wasn´t corsica and sardinia have parts of the eresmus to represent how hard they where to pacify ? like scotland

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

From the Carthage preview...

Sardinia and Corsica: It was well known among the team as we started towards EB2 that there was something wrong with the representation of Sardinia and Corsica from EB1, mostly due to the control of the inland by the Nuragic tribes. However, given limited province slots it was unclear how this could be fixed. Eventually, thanks to the invaluable work of Zarax, the provinces were satisfactorily reworked. Now the province of Sardin et Korsim includes the coastal regions of the islands and some of the southern mainland of Sardinia. The new capital is at Nora while Karali has become the port. The interior of the islands is now the province of Barbagia with its capital at Orruinas.
