That first faction symbol with the elephant, the bearded god, and the flying thing looks EXACTLY like the indo-hellenic coin also on the first page. I would think that would be a symbol for Baktria, although I don't see why they would replace that beautiful leapord symbol....that's always been one of my favorites.

Well, who said it was for EB itself?

I thought the preview was for EB factions....I assume you mean those symbols will be in EB2, which leads me to believe that the indo-hellenic kingdom (not Baktria....if I'm not mistaken there was one based more in India) is one of the chosen factions for EB2. I know you won't answer that, but that's my best guess.

Getting warmer, but the Indo-Greeks won't be in EB2 since they show up about a century after our start date.

"The kingdom was founded when the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius invaded India in 180 BCE, ultimately creating an entity which seceded from the powerful Greco-Bactrian Kingdom centered in Bactria (today's northern Afghanistan). " From Wikipedia

Yeah I just read that on Wikipedia, and realized that I was wrong. Maybe Bactria in EB2. Regardless, both faction symbols are pretty sweet. :)

I think the answer to what they are and what they are for are already said in this thread somewhere. I remember the questions being answered at some point.
