This humble follower has a question...
What is the name of that horned helm? And will we see a sweboz sporting it in the future, perhaps a general?

This Helmet is one of Viksø helmets, a pair of nearly identical Helmets.
This helmets if from the Nordic Bronze age which dates long before the start of EB2's time frame.
It is also a ceremonial helmet, not really suited for battle.
Because of this the Sweboz general will not wear this kind of helmet.
and from the TWC

It'll be part of the "barbaric" culture which means celtic factions for example.

Also what is that "Grenade" that the slingers have? :P
that's such a nice touch, will all slingers have a visual representing where they get their rocks? adds a lot of life to the world, rather than all the slingers doing sleight of hand magic tricks to pull rocks out of nowhere :P
Well, this makes it seem like the Sweboz are using “nomadic” settlements, or perhaps their own equivalent. Also notice how they don’t seem to have large or huge cities, which other barbarians and even the Sauromatae now seem to have(though this is probably restricted to certain regions). I wonder what this means.
Most will use those leather bags so depends on the factions however these are poorer units and we wanted to represent that by these touches.
They wore the rocks using the cape and in some simple bags.
A nice touch that I find is that the slingers won't have any rocks in their cape while in melee.
Of course you post the most greatest preview in the history of ever on the only day I am gone. :/ I especially cannot wait to mow down those pesky brits withe the Swarzchenagiz.
This is, at least professional level. The background content is in my opinion far beyond the level you can expect of any commercial product. This is why EB could never be one: All the work into it would be far too expensive, especially compared to the target group (after all, I tried to convince all my friends to play EB; but no one was eager to get used to its complexity, as especially as it is completely in English).
Informative, educational, illuminating, exciting.
Just a few words tripping out of my lips.
many thanks again to all.....superb!!!
Is there any chance of the preview/faction info being put into a pdf with the pics......so us EBnerds can read at bed time? :)

This is excellent! I have a question, though. Many animations (e.g. death animations) look like they are in slow-motion, while I doubt that it's the intended effect. Will you make some changes to them?
I used the slow motion effect only for the movie, and it's added in a movie editing software.
Do you happen to live near Aarhus, Denmark?Sorry boys but I live across the pond lol. Are you on the team Macilrille?Or near Bucharest, Romania?

Oh I feel dumb now. Why doesn't he have one of those cool banners like the rest of you guys?
It's not your fault, some of the team just choose not to wear them.
