EB - Countdown to Open Beta: Baktria

[Wishazu]

VERY GOOD!!!! some of the best looking skins ive seen so far from you guys. so when is it available again???? lol

[Sarcasm]

Was I right, or was I right?

[Big_John]

haha wow! some of those skins are outlandishly cool!

4 of the baktrian units are in my personal top 10 best looking EB units, so far.

who skinned the elite shock infantry, btw? that skin is simply AMAZING!!!

edit: thanks for posting it so soon in the weekend, btw.

I did the initial description, Seydlitz did a remarkable concept art rendering, and of course Spartan Warrior did the unit (and helmet), with lots of help from Urnamma at all points along the way. Urnamma did most of the unit descriptions (I think) with lots of help from sharrukin for the non-Hellenic units.

I should also add that Dux Corvanus did the absolutely gorgeous icon.

what is that (celtic?) unit in the very first screen?


also, it looks great, but i just can't get over those duck helmets on the Agema

[Steppe Merc]

They are just fighting them.
About those "duch helmets", I thought it was pretty funny to, but it's accurate.

Apparently an extremely lost bunch of Irishmen.

That's what happens when you drink too much with your friends... one minute you're all stumbling across the Irish countryside looking for a convenient tree to urinate on, and before you know it you and your mates have somehow ended up in Baktria going head-to-head with some pikemen wearing ducks on their heads.


(edit: corrected spelling)

[Pycckuu]

they look great :D

[Sheep]

Something tells me the Baktrians will be conquering the world in the near future...

[jerby]

wow, great. really

about those Indohellenikoi Hoplitai there are both skirmishers and melee. but the discription reads that thureophoroi should be used to finish it off in melee. does this mean that the Indohellenikoi Hoplitai are inferior to thureophoroi?

the heavy assault units looks great, whats it called? lov ethe shield size.

wich reminds me. will al hoplite shield be that big? how big will pikemen shields be, like in the pic. or is it wip?

[Steppe Merc]

Ah, modifying factions is one thing, but creating another one altogether is a feat indeed. Good job! Now...what about the Indians? :-)

They won't be their own faction. Not enough of our map includes them to warrant an entire faction.

[Mongoose]

They can't add factions, they had to axe numida.

But it was worth it

[jerby]

numidia sucked anyway. hated them. only had like 9 units.

[Furious Mental]

Well if the EB crew did Numidia they'd no doubt have about a million ideas for Numidian units.
