The Pritanoi chariot got some visual improvements:

It's been a while since the last sneak peek and that is because we're trying hard to polish the game for upcoming release this year.
So here's something that we've decided to improve upon, new textures for wooden walls:

Wooden palisade:


Wooden wall:


And here you can see the normal map, and the depth it brings, which was created using a high-poly model:

Our newest addition to the team, Nightfall and I have started working one new vegetation.
Credit also goes to Yughues aka Nobiax for many of the vegetation models and textures.

So here's the new vegetation for the floodland desert climate used on the nile river:

Courtesy of our new Pahlava faction coordinator, tobymoby, a few screens to reassure people who may be worried about the lack of news about this faction:

It is autumn, but Tiridates prepares to follow his brother's footsteps and become a mighty conqueror. So he marches to Aria from Parthyaia with an army.




Enemy disposition:



Troops prepare for battle, also sexy-looking ram!



The melee begins. But those are some cool looking daggers! Excellent for cutting hair, slicing vegetables, killing your slaves..etc



The Persian Archers try to fight the levy phalanxes



My horse archers lay down suppressing fire to keep enemy reinforcements off the walls



The gate is down, now into the breach!



Soon, my cavalry pore into the city and engage is a brutal melee against the enemy general and his cavalry. And damn are those sexy horses!



The enemy is slaughtered to the man, but not without taking quite a few of our men with them:



But a victory is a victory, no matter the loss of life!

Please note that the throw distance was for testing purposes only, we will tweak it such that the distances are realistic.

Until next week when will preview more new stuff.

Some screenshots with highlights from my Sweboz campaign, played(of course only for testing purposes, lies) 100 turns and I haven't encountered a CTD so far:






































Next I'll preview two notable units that I'm sure everyone remembers from Eb1, first the Akkadian Elite Infantry wonderfully crafted by Haedar in action:


























And finally the Parthian Cataphract created by Haedar and Tux, the recruitable version dissected:
