Six down- four to go to!!: 4 faction slots left

[Fabio Scevola]

First to all I want to thank the EB team for this great great job.
I am a fan and player since the beginning and haven't been even active for years but the news of the coming release made me very happy and eager to come back to the forums (specially since the disappointment MT:Rome2 has been).
The question is about the map, is this map final? With the desert/inacesible regions in northern europe, Scotland, south Ireland?
Is a Belgae faction confirmed?
Also keep the excellent job and be sure I would wait another year or more for EB 2 if it would take to have it.
