Faction Previews

I can't find any previews for the Arverni or Yuehzi. Anyone know where to find them?

They were never previewed but you can play EB or check the website if you want to see what they look like...

The Europa Barbarorum website:

The Aedui faction:

Units list might be missing a photo or two, but they're all in the game and recruitable.

The best preview is to play the faction.

The Yuehzi(how to you pronuce that?) were taken out of the game so we won't be seeing a preview for them.

I hope we see the replacment faction's preview soon.

Make that 2 new factions.

1.5 frees a faction slot.

Typing it is one thing. Trying to say it is another.
Seriously. It's tricky.

According to Wikipedia, it should be pronounced like this: "Yüeh-Chih".

Actually, Wade Giles isn't very useful in helping a Romance-language speaker pronounce it. Assuming the Beijing Mandarin dialect, the one most often heard in big motion picture productions (which has a ton of tongue curls, dropped in southern areas of China - much like the English "R" sound at the end of words being lost in the south of the US), it would be pronounced like Yoo-ay Jurr, with "Yoo-ay" being a falling tone (and "Yoo" being hard to pronounce, being a cross between the English "oo" sound and "ee"), and Jurr being a high flat tone, a harder "j" and a softer "r" than in English.

This should help:
Yue-zhi

Positive. The Chinese languages are sing-songy, and this is a high, flat tone that is exaggerated for effect. In conversation it would not be so high, nor so extended, but that is the correct sound.
