    Obviously because camels have a well known weakness to velociraptors.

    not to mention that camels stink it´s not an animal for a king or a noble it´s good enough for merchants and bandits but a king needs to inspire others and somehow i always imagine a king mounted on a donkey trying to inspire his men to fight ... thats why the military leaders used chariots in the absence of aw inspiring beasts of war

    Arevaci spy character completed. All Arevaci strat map characters finished - nazgool
    Reworking of Seleukid temples done. - abou
    Does this mean no more whiskey?
    Historically attested Celtiberian names added for the Arevaci, biblical placeholders removed. - Kull
    I would give my left leg (the good one) in order to have more 3D/2D artists in the team. -Brennus
    I throw in my right eye!
    Lusotannan now a different "religion" from Arevaci. Some province religions are diametrically opposed to culture. Iberian chaos! - Kull
    Random series of CTDs worsened over past 30 days - Tux diagnosed a Texture problem and inserted (many) fixes. Awesome achievement! -EB Team
    Indeed, congrats!
    Many thanks to Nazgool! Campaign map is becoming a "thing of beauty" with all his new strat map models! - EB Team

    Does this mean that the EB team has changed its mind and camel-mounted bedouins will be included in the first release? Please?

    We're currently working on Dubstep Camel Caravans. They are completely area of effect. Blistering beats and heavy humping.

    I knew the mod was missing something...

    This is this Ancient Sabaic Dubstep. In fact, Moros has to pull off quite a number of feats, not unlike Indiana Jones (3 boulders and 1460 miles of high speed chases where no one's pistol runs out of ammunition), to recover what we thought was a 2000 year old circular stone petrograph. It wasn't until Brennus snorted all the dust off and mistakenly placed the petrograph on the phonograph did we realize what we found.

    Dude! How about a cliff hanger alert or something!!!

    So, what'd y'all find? My guess an original "singles" record of "Poison Ivy" and "Fortune Teller" (B side) by The Rolling Stones?
