What is this "Occultus"?

**MSB** · 09-21-2006, 12:52

It's in Khelven's signature and in somebody elses. A shield which is similar to what is shown in the other person's signature is shown in The Eastern Kingdom Preview. So is this "Occulus" faction X or is it something else?
Thankyou

Well, this has come out before, but it has to be said again, Occultus means 'that which is hidden'. It was originally meant to titillate fans with the prospect of new factions that EB didn't want to reveal yet. But since all factions are now revealed and known, 'Occultus' now just means khelvan has been too busy whipping his crew of poor overworked helots to produce a v0.8 worthy of many a v3.0 in other games to change his sig pic. :D You go, khelvan!

You know there still is an occultus faction, Khelvan's sig however is of an already revealed faction. Qwerty Midx however has that of the last one.

There's been two good guesses as to what the new faction will be. It will most likely be the other option, since the desert wars are supposedly going to get more interesting and we already have a new steppe faction.

I know it's been shot down before, but I still can't help hoping that we either get Sabaea or the Mauryans. Another Germanic faction wouldn't hurt, and it would be cool to have the Numidians back in the game. I know that the Mauryans are beyond the scope of the game and Sabaea didn't become powerful until after the game has already begun, but they are still cool factions to think about having.
