Are eastern and eastern greek the same culture group or are they different?

They are different:

-You will primarily notice a different GUI between the two.
-You will also note a difference in portraits - eastern is all eastern, while east greek is primarily greek, but with some helmetless eastern portraits mixed in as well.
-They both have primarily eastern looking buildings, except the eastgreeks will have greek style temples and a few other greek buildings mixed in. But primarily eastern style. They make for a huge difference on battlemaps though - you will feel like you are in an eastern greek city instead of a greek city in the east.
-Music is different too, though both will occasionally play each others' themes. Higher percentage though chance you will hear their own theme. I believe eastern will get eastern, eastgreek, and semitic. Eastgreek will get eastgreek, and sometimes eastern and sometimes oldgreek.

Really can't wait for you guys to get this!! Eastgreek will be one of your favorites I know!

Will the Eastgreek cities be laid out on a grid plan?

Does that mean that the East Greeks will have the eastern city appearance on the campaign map? (ie vannilla: eastern, carthaginian, eqyptian, )

EDIT: Along those lines, are there any plans to create unique cities/ports/etc for the campaign map? Or to officially use(/finish?) the Res Gestae ones, especially seeing at RG seems to be stalled/dead?
