poor pantodapoi you surrounded them with Pezhetairoi and Peltmaks :D a bit of an overkill don't you think?

The Peltastai are damn sexy!
There's also a general (I think), in haithabas' album that looks very good :)

Greetings Everyone!

I have been following EB2' progression for almost two years, and i want to express my amazement about the mod. The developers are doing a great job and everything looks fantastic. There will be so much detail in the game that i don't know where would i start. (probably just reading all the descriptions for hours at one faction) Keep up the good work guys there are many of us who really appreciate what you are doing and we are eager to be shared with this piece of awesomeness.

The in-game battle shots are amazing.

The different colour tunics, armour and shields among men in the same unit make a big difference. In EB1, it's easy to see the difference between your units and the enemy, even in a confused melee. Not so easy in EB2, it looks very confusing when your men are mixed up with the enemy's.

If I use 'general's view' in EB2, it will be very easy for me to lose track of what the hell is going on, once the neat battle lines have become a confused melee. That will slow down my reaction time against the AI and will most probably lead to me getting my arse kicked more than once, even by the 'dumb' AI. Can't wait!

You guys make posts which are reminiscent of those one or two-liner video game reviews and raves you see on the back of game cases, or in gamer magazines. I'll try my hand at one.

EB revolutionized the modding community...EB 2 strikes back with deadlier battles, higher stakes, and geopolitics that will take you back millennia.

[antisocialmunky]

EB2 once again overshadows its Rome Total War counterpart

[BroskiDerpman]

I see how.....

[nazgool]

Does nobody read our twitter these days? ;)

A little visual treet while we build the Roman settlements. A Greek temple (WIP) by Red Devil : https://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8436/tempiu.jpg …

That temple looks pretty cool, nice colouring. Which level is this?

Celtic faction events being programmed. Thought Ankyra was hard to conquer in EB? This time round it will receive reinforcements! -Brennus

Maybe this means, that there will spawn a whole ton of crappy levie infantry in the town. I think I also saw this in another mod. I don´t know which one it was, maybe Chivalry? I liked it, since the townspeople would try to save their own home, instead of just a few units of soldiers.

[Arjos]

I particularly like the tympanum, you can read about how colourful it was, but renderings really give life to it...
Kudos to the artists! ^^

About Galatia, I'm already dreading meeting all those Gaisatoi lol

[Brennus]

About Galatia, I'm already dreading meeting all those Gaisatoi lol

We have a very talented Roman working on the Celtic scripts at the moment. Our new Galatia related event won't just threaten those powers who border Galatia but practically everyone in Hellas and Asia Minor.

[Arjos]

That is sweeeet!

Seems like someone hasn't learned the lesson from the battle of the elephants XD
Really happy you guys found volunteers and the scripting is getting done...

BTW are you planning to remove the random and annoying "brigants", to replace them with these meaningful raids/invasions to settle land?

[Arjos]

Woohoo graffiti!

Sneek peak at []Aba's Roman buildings. See if you can translate the graffiti. https://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3692/graffiti2c.png … https://img607.imageshack.us/img607/8664/graffiti1.png …

Was expecting more obscene ones, like in Rome, the tv serie :D

[Brennus]

The translation is very obscene.

[DaciaJC]

The translation is very obscene.

I think he means visually obscene.

*cough*

[fightermedic]

that temple is just great, keep up the good work

[Arjos]

I think he means visually obscene.

*cough*

Aye XD

So let's see:

Secundus prime su(a?)e ubi que isse salute r(o?)co domina ut me('?)(a?)me(s?)

Can't get some letters :P

(M?)yttes aene fel(a?)s

Will get to them later...

[Ibrahim]

the first graffito I can't catch. it seems to be saluting someone.

the second one is along the lines of one guy performing fellatio on the other...I guess.

[Arjos]

Oh yes, forgot these...

- Secundus salutes his beloved, wherever she is, I ask her to love me. (must be wrong, this is in no way filthy XD)

- Myttes does "jobs" well. (you get the drift...)

I'd imagine they are from Pompeii, are there graffiti preserved by anything other than volcanic ash?

[Brennus]

You are right Arjos, the first one is a romantic message but the other is a lauding for felatio, and yes both are from Pompeii.

[Skullheadhq]

"Celtic oppida 50% complete. AI defends and attacks walls correctly. Modelling capture point (a temple). Pics soon, hopefully- Red Devil. "

Oooh, nice.

[Arjos]

That's awesome ^^

Fingers crossed for a screenshot with the killzone at the gates and so many corpses that the attacker can climb over the towers lol

[Bovarius]

Working on the Celtic tribal system with V.T. Marvin, under pressure as he has already coded nearly all Greek FM traits - Brennus

Nice, keep up the good work !!!

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Ah that is excellent news considering coding has been the "slowest" part of the EBII equation from what I've gathered.

[Arjos]

Marvin thank you so much!

[Arjos]

Listing every name from Hellenistic Bactria and Sogdia. Seems like women were very shy ^^ - DeathFinger

Ha! XD

For you roleplayers. The new Tribal system for the Celts means you can technically play as, not 5, but 30 Celtic factions. - Brennus

Not enough Keltoi!!! Ahahahahah, seriously that's amazing

[Khazar_Dahvos]

Can't wait to get my hands on EB2 and play as one of the celtic factions!!!
