Spoilers and Speculation Thread

[gamegeek2]

This is the thread which we'll be using to upload spoilers of upcoming previews. We actively encourage members of the community to speculate on the unit being spoiled, to which faction it belongs, etc.

Also, this is the thread for general speculation about factions not yet previewed and, of course, the mod in general.

Without further ado, here's our first spoiler for the next preview:



What is it, and who does it belong to? We're not telling, of course...

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Some sort of steppe noble. I will guess Sarmatian.

[anubis88]

Neh. He's to lightly armoured to be a noble :P. Don't worry tough... The preview will come out very soon.

You're the one who takes care of the units :) I'm more a "political situation" guy

[FinnishedBarbarian]

Parthohellenikoi Thureophoroi and horse archer might be dacian given their use of such troops, usage of scale armor and sword looks to be La Tène style.

[jirisys]

Parthians or Sarmatians. The silly hat gives away.

Time for a giveaway. And a fine, fine one at that:

[Lazy O]

Parthian cataphract . Arm guard fives it away .

[Finn MacCumhail]

OK, lets continue this. Tell me please, who might it be? If you could guess, I will post some fresh screen shots to encourage you. Small tip: this is a new look at some unit, which was previewed long ago.

[NacroxNicke]

Ehrm... a Hellenic Gaesetae, yeah

It looks awesome though, waiting for this for sure!

[Lazy O]

Peltast or some other lowlife with nothing else to do .

[Ca Putt]

I'd bet those are Euzonoi.

[Finn MacCumhail]

Ca Putt, yes you are right they are really Euzonoi. And here are the screen shots!

[FinnishedBarbarian]

I'd say they are gaelaiche or gaeroas, but they (gaeroas) shouldn't be around anymore (during EBNOM's timeframe) or were they?
