I'll do my best to keep it updated and on the main page!

Was wondering, are you able to put in the back-glow that the EB1 factions have for the other, newer factions? It does make it look very pretty.

I'll give it a go. I only use MS paint as I am not an artist so hopefully it'll look nice, I'll keep you updated.

It's alright but it's missing the Bosphorians (is that the right word) and the british tribe are in the wrong area

oh, damn their layer got obscured somehow :O I'm sure I had them in the first version.

for the brit's: I was just too lazy to draw all the provinces of southern britain myself considering they remain the only faction there it did not really seem worthwile, especially as the only thing I know about south british provinces in EB2 is that The pritanoi province is landlocked.

The Pritanoi preview actually shows the province borders pretty well, but I don't blame you for not bothering. We know they're the only faction in Britain, so that's all that really matters.

I tried but my art skills are rubbish. If anyone is interested in improving the first page map PM me and I'll send you the original and other progress maps, then maybe we can throw it on the first page.

Hey guys, since the Bouiroi/Boii have been previewed, here's another tidbit of info for the map. The southern half of their white area should be removed. This is due to the chance of them becoming a superpower, or white death, too early on and giving their northern neighbors time to expand. They'll start with 2, not 3, provinces.

If y'all don't hear from me after this divulging of info, then the team has sent me on a 'vacation' far away

**B-Wing** · 09-23-2011, 05:42

Thank you for the info! That is nice to know. I figured they'd only start with one province, since their Celtic neighbors in Gaul have both been regulated to one starting province.

Will the Belgae start with one province then?

**Power2the1** · 09-23-2011, 05:53

Well, suffice to say that there are some Belgic units in the game of course, 5 units of Belgic origin have concepts. However we can neither confirm, nor deny, plans for a Belgic faction in EB2.

Did the internal beta tests prove them to be superpowers with the extra province?

Well played.

Serve return.

While we're talking about Boii starting provinces, I'd like to share a thought. If there are 3 adjacent regions which are historically accurate start locations for the Boii, but only two are being selected in order to provide more opportunity for the Boii's northern neighbors to expand, wouldn't it be preferable to select the two furthest from the northern factions?
