Preview: The Boii

[stratigos vasilios]

After porn this is the best thing on the internet :

Hahahahahahahah! Infact I tend to check up on EB before I go to porn...it's all about priorities.

Outstanding work! Looks amazing!

[KARTLOS]

NICE WORK CHAPS!

Praetor: Si sabia que eras chileno, pero dudo que se pueda traducir el significado al 100% en ingles, This mod Is DA SHIT!

[Christianus]

Is there supposed to be sound on the video? Mine is silent... Im using VLC player, Windows media wouldnt take it.

[Kikaz]

I loves its...

[Krusader]

Is there supposed to be sound on the video? Mine is silent... Im using VLC player, Windows media wouldnt take it.

No. No sound.

[Andy1984]

I just watched the video: absolutely stunning, the way they charge, fight and die. The helmets, feathers on the helmets, softly coloured clothing,... marvellous. I was also pleasantly surprised by the looks of the grass. Since I never really got into MTW2, I'm not sure whether that has been modded or not. Looking forward to having my legions massacred by these soldiers,

congratulations,

Andy

ps: we should 'compare' this video and preview with the standard warbands we found in vanilla RTW in Central Europe...
ps2: please note the design of the barbarian cities around the gates: no more funelling through the gates once you sabotaged it.

[Biowulf]

I haven't even watched the vid and I'm in love. I think I'll play these guys first they look AMAZING!
Great job!

[burn_again]

Awesome!

[Cute Wolf]

Yay! Yay! Yay!!!!

Great Job EB Team....
BTW..... A treat for all.... cheerrrssss......

[Allhopeforhumanity]

Looks awesome, but was the video somewhat laggy for anyone else? I know that sometimes using fraps slows down some programs. I was just wondering if that was the case or if windows media player was just being lame.

[Biowulf]

It probably was fraps since mine was laggy at times too. Right under the video DL link is a little disclaimer as well saying that parts will be choppy due to the vid-capturing program.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Great preview guys! Keep up the great work!

[Ibrahim]

SWEET!! a faction to act as a buffer. that will be a great addition to the game.

but darn! its six days too early

EDIT: they might be able to fight the sweboz, as well as the getai. hence the "buffer" title.

[Hotseat_User]

this is beautiful work! I'm so looking forward to enjoy playing them. Take your time!

[Jurdagat]

Amazing as always!
Great preview!

[darius_d]

Wow, what a blow up. Voilà our longly waited Valentine present.
Thanks a lot EB guys. Keep up the great job.
I am happy for this faction and I voted for it.

[Phalanx300]

Just really noticed, what is the cavalry man shown? Will it be for an later preview?

[Gustave]

Hehe yes every little card show a different unit. You have not seen everything yet !

[-Praetor-]

This one is the first of three previews. You've got a lot to see yet from the Boii

[Maximus of Phoenicia]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FInALLY SOMETHIN FOR THE SWEBOZ TO WORRY ABOUT(faints)

[Skullheadhq]

This makes me so happy ;)

[Skoran]

Is it normal the video doesn't have any sound?

[Horatius Flaccus]

Is it normal the video doesn't have any sound?

No. No sound.

So yes, it's normal.

[athanaric]

The Komatai Toxotai we see in the video, will they have spears, too?

[Apázlinemjó]

Oh man, a Central-European celtic faction...oh man I don't want EB2 to be released, because I won't finish the university either. ;o

[seienchin]

Fantastic! The Units look incredible and I cant wait to conquer northern italy with them or having them stop the sweboz Ki rushes^^
Still one of the parts I was happy to read the most was the part about celtic language, esspecially this:
First, and perhaps most important, Gaulish is primarily a reconstructed language. There are not enough surviving records of the language to become 100% certain on certain aspects
Many people taking the languages in EB so seriously, but I think you should not do that and appreciate the incredible hard work of the language reasearchers for what it is.

[satalexton]

THIS IS WONDERFUL. Now the Sweboz are not alone, the Getai gets a new (un)friendly neighbour, and the horrible horrible Romans have more potential Romaioktonoi waiting to kill them.

As for the Celtic voicemod, how different is Boii Celtic (if that's the term) compared to the sort that the Aedui/Averni or Lusotannan speak?

I think it says, that the celtic Voicemod while be different from the in Voicemod in EB so all the celtic tribes will have different names and voices. It also says that celtic is a reconstructed language so no way the Booi will have big difference to other celtic tribe in the voice.

[Bucefalo]

Thank you JMRC for explaining it, i´m excited to hear that it is possible to have two weapons, it should add a whole new level of realism, as many troops carried both weapons

Oh and also, now that you say it, i somehow forgot (silly me) to mention the guy blowing the celtic horn (carnyx), when i saw it i was like WOW it can´t be true! And started imagining how epic would look when the horn sound and the unit charge! Amazing attention to detail indeed.

Last question, thought it don´t have to do much with the boii per se. I was wondering why the late era Argoi stop using plumes or other celtic decoration in the helmets, i suppose it might have something to do with more efficiency at producing helmets in mass quantities. It´s curious because for the romans its pretty much the same, with the hastati/principes and the legionaries, they start with a lot of decoration in helmets (like other italian tribes like samnites) and end up with simpler ones with no plumes or other decoration. Quite interesting to say the least.
