Rule number 3 - There is NO rule number 3.
Rule number 4 - A man shall believe in only two things: free speech and free beer.
The
first rule of Occultus is you don't talk about Occultus. The second rule of Occultus is
you don't talk about Occultus.
As for rule number three, I believe it is written on the underside of the hatch built by elephant-mounted Mauryan Satrap FMs.
And rule number 4? I think you have your priorities wrong. Free speech is a fundamental element of our society, but lets not muddy the waters here, free beer is far more important. Just so long as its not that fruity Leffe stuff.
Yep, free beer and free sex owns freedom of speech.

Come on...
bah, I say stop the idle talk, and just bet on which faction is next. of course I mean you guys bet on which faction, not me, as betting is haraam.
besides, I'm currently content, seeing as how I correclt guessed the two new confirmed factions will be in. just hoping all my other guesses come out right
oudysseos 08:10 07-06-2009
What are your other guesses?
P.S. There is at least one new faction that I don't think anybody has ever guessed.
The mamertines?
I'm going with either a Baltic tribe or the Cantabri.

There can´t be any other italian faction besides the Romans, they were all subjugated by the starting timeframe, so no samnites or campanians.. mamertines could be, but very unlikely. Stop teasing us
As you wish sir!
Horatius Flaccus 19:29 07-06-2009
Ligurians?
And Alin, that's just mean...
Antinous 21:45 07-06-2009
Hey could there be a new faction in the Alps to block roman expansion? You know like those crazies the Caturiges Warriors.
There's definitely a sword to the right of the bottom one. I'm guessing...another British tribe.
Syrakousai ??

Ah, finally the team came to their senses and gave Sardinia multiple settlements and a proper nuragic faction

Hmm… the Bruttians/Lucanians maybe? EB1 had them as an Eleutheroi.

Their only settlement, Rhegion, is under the control of a collection of Roman deserters from Campania at gamestart. Dunno if that's a particularly solid basis for a whole 'nother faction.
That is probably the only region where the name "Rebels" is justified.

bartix?
look, I mentioned all of them in another thread, the one that was opened by Jo the greek IIRC. I'm too lazy to tell ye them.
and is that other faction you are talking about arabian, like Nabaaea or ma3een? if its not, I don't care, you could put a faction on Marsailles and I wouldn't care..
Come on people, Bartix is getting old. It's the Abocassix faction.

My first though too.
I must say its plain mean the way they tease us.
Of course like all the other EB tragics 'll be back for more.
Hey maybe EB is just the front end of a Sadistic internet torture club? Give us some candy, and lure us in to be tormented...

I dunno guys...all I can see in the Occultus pic is an unspeakable demon from the cold wastes of the ill-omened plateau Leng, where it is said no healthy men go.

Scordisci?

Boii Galla? ._.a the Keltoi settlements with gaesatae just north of barbaropolis.

wow that carriage must be quite contaminating! Just look at the smoke behind it.. otherwise it looks quite good, but i wonder if a fair lady could use it without being observed by the populace.. definitely it needs some cover

If Mamertines are very very close then that means it must be Syrakousai, only thing left in Italy worthy of a faction!

And someone else said it as well but without reaction so that must mean that there's even more reason to think it is in fact Syrakousai!
And a faction no one has guessed as of yet? Mmmm, then its probably not an very obvious one. Lugii, they were close of becoming a faction in EB1 right?
