Polybian are 209bc, Marian are 108bc, and Imperial reforms aren't in right now.

Yes. It also uparmoures Equites and replaces Rorarii/Leves/Ascencii with Velites.

Gaestatae used a large dose of painkiller just before battle allowing them ignore wounds that would normallly incapacitate a man. They also were veterans so even without this "magic potion" they were already quite formidable. As for the music, it is being worked on.

You can find the signature locations on the EB website (under downloads => artwork).

Thanks but what I meant by the gaestatae is that the fact they are naked..disturbing but it adds realism.Also how do you display sig pics,isn't the same as total war center forums.

Btw, welcome to the forums! Did you just recently start playing EB?

While we are on the topic of reforms, are there any plans of puting in those imp. reforms with the next biuld?

As for the gastate, I imagine the durgs hade some thing to do with it.

I would say that this isn't really important. Unless the reforms are definitely going to be triggered by events rather than specific dates, the distance in time from the start of 272 BC probably makes them irrelevant. If the EB team does decide to stick with dates rather than triggers, it would probably occur around 27 BC when Augustus had taken control of Rome - and who has actually played for that many turns?

In my mind, there are other things to script for a Beta release.
