To be clear, we are porting the settlements (huge props to Rhaymo for allowing it and makanyane & Wild dog for technical advice and tool upgrades), and that is for EVERY EB2 culture (where we don't have our own, of course). The specialized buildings that tie back to EDB will come later. For now the goal is to have no Medieval-looking settlements at ANY level of your EB2 cities.

Hip hip huzzah!

EBII NEEDS YOU: If any fans of Europa Barbarorum have experience with 3D modelling, we would love to hear from you. - the EB Team

Re-working Camillian Haststi as the current model has been deemed unsatisfactory by EBII standards -nazgool

Why was it deemed unsatisfatory?

A big thank you to RAWROMNOM for his industrious efforts helping us - The EB Team

Concepting Celtic strat map characters. Our Gallic assassin is likely to be the only unit in EBII equipped with a winesack - Brennus

A teaser of the new vegetation effects. An army of Pahlava hunt down a Ptolemaio force at a desert oasis: pic.twitter.com/x81D9qLwJv

Gorgeous! The other vegetation screens in the sneak peaks topic are also impressive! I just hope that my ancient laptop will be hable to handle it.
And ouch, Pahlavan archer-axemen, that's a whole new level of nastyness!

The sky is nice as well!

New desert landscapes created, climate set so that it will favour unarmoured units - Tux

Nice!

As of today, all the Medieval Settlements have been excised from EBII! Every faction has an EB or DBM settlement at all levels - Kull

My hat goes off to you, sirs.

Edited Arevaci temples submitted to be included in EBII. Only one unique temple for the Arverni left and the Celtic gods are done - Brennus

Settlements now finalized for the alpha release with inclusion of variants for Taksahila, Ptolemaioi, and one other faction - Kull

This has already been remarked on the faction slot thread: one other faction? Preparing a big surprise or a bit of trolling? I first thought Malkûtâ Nabâta would be a unique faction in terms of settlements, but perhaps they share it with the Mamla'ha biMassylim. Perhaps the Lusotannan? Sab'yn? Getai? Pritanoi? Or a new faction indeed, which would have to be an entirely different culture from what is there already (I'm guessing Hyperboreans).

Special Arverni temple, the Deuotegos Teutateis, of the god Teutates finished. All Celtic temples now finished! - Brennus

Praise the gods!

New desert battle map textures added, complete with botanically accurate vegetation - Tux

Finishing writing descriptions for the Numidian ports - Gaius Scribonius Curio
