Easter Unit Preview

[Cataphract_Of_The_City]

Those Epilektoi Hoplitai looks amazingly awesome badasses!! Great work!!

The first faction icon is probably Bactria. Indian (smaller ears) elephant, Zeus...

Btw, will there be only 5 new factions in EB2?

[-Praetor-]

Whoa, great preview!

But just hold on one second, those faction icons are a remake of some of the current factions, or are they some icons for the 5 new factions in EB2?

I`m confused...

[Krusader]

Well to stop some discussions because some people forget.

There are 30 factions + rebels in MTW2. 99% sure it is.

Which means there will be 10 new factions in EB2.
5 out of 10 factions have been chosen.

And we might tell you if those faction icons are for EB2 or for another project.

[Sir Edward]

Well i'm no expert, but I would bet that second faction icon is for the Skandza provience.

[tk-421]

Whoa, great preview!

Thank you.

or are they some icons for the 5 new factions in EB2?

Nope.

But just hold on one second, those faction icons are a remake of some of the current factions,

Sort of.

I`m confused...

Excellent.

[Swebozbozboz]

I am sooo confused!
you said "sort of" remakes of present factions... what does that even mean?!?! i want to know.... I wish i had the skills to be on the Eb team just to know all the secrets...and the magic!


damn!!! now i have to clean all the drool of my keyboard after peeking at the new units!

[Fondor_Yards]

Egads I'm those new skins * the Raetics, persian hoplites, Spahbade Pahlavaning and Casse Celtic Axemen because of their kick ass hat*, keep pumping them out boys!

[Ower]

I think that the "new faction" that kull mentions, is a quit big redoing of one curent faction, and if it's what i think, I just cant wait.

[Rilder]

I think the eb team must be out testing out some of the stuff Gaesatae use, just using it to cause chaos among fans though.

Anyways great preview

[Basileus Seleukeia]

I'm pretty sure that this "new faction" is the absolutely redone Pahlava faction. The Creator already said that Pahlave has to be redone completely, to show that it was nomadic at the game's start and such.
Because, if they mean it another way, it would mean one faction has to die for another, because EB meets the faction limit. And I don't think any of the current factions deserves to die!
Oh, and perhaps they're going to finally implement working reforms for everyone, no more Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi and Hysteroi Pezhetairoi in the 3rd century b.c.
So, I can't wait anymore, release it or I'm forced to wait...

[Casuir]

31 factions according to CA. Indo-Greeks as an emerging faction for the first perhaps?

[keravnos]

There will be NO Indogreeks as a separate faction in EB2.

[Zaknafien]

hehe oh this is great fun. Keravnos is absolutely right!

[Casuir]

No? Bears a striking resemblance to indo-greek coinage though:


ah, seperate faction.

[Kull]

Well there will be a "new faction" in the next release of EB - those aren't it, though.

Also, take a good look at those Epilektoi Hoplitai KH-heads. Meet your new General Bodyguard unit! (I suspect even the Spartan-lovers won't be disappointed)

[Sir Edward]

Well there will be a "new faction" in the next release of EB - those aren't it, though.

Wait hasn't EB reached the faction limit? Are we going to have to say goodbye to a present faction to make room for the new one? or is this a redirection of a present faction ala Iberia to Lusotainia.

[abou]

Oh ye of little faith!

The answer is "magic".
