Very impressive. I always liked them, now I can hardly wait to play as them.

Very good work ! Pontus will be very interesting to play with a mix of hellenic and oriental troops.

I for one was a huge fan of the Pontians in vanilla. Now they get a decent makeover. YAY

Couple of things id just like to take the time to say here to EB. I only found out about this two months ago (Thanks to UK PC gamer magazine) and I have to say it has become one of my most watched mods ever. The dedication you guys are putting in is phenomenal. Well done. Oh and one last thing...

Hurry up and get it finished.

I say only when it's done. We've waited enough and we can wait for a while for the better EB experience. Long and sleepless nights awaits for us.

Keep going mates...

BTW I also love the new watchtower. Much better fitting the theme... .

I noticed that Pontos didn't control Colchis (on the Crimean peninsula) on the minimap. Did Pontos' ownership fall out of EB timeframe?

In 272 Pontos didn't control much of anything, so you answered your question correctly. They don't even have Sinope for another century, so of course we won't be including it or Trapezous in their possessions to start the game.

They'll have to fight the Armenians for Colchis. I don't see them being able to grab it without a fight from the armenians either in any playtesting except in a few rare cases. They just can't move that way quick enough as it's right next door to Armenia and they are looking for somewhere to expand too.
