    Thank you. Great news, I like the new features, the options for the games to be held, all the changes to my fav faction, the Romans, aaaahhh sooo grrrreat.

    My fav new units are: Lonchophoroi Hippeis and Rhomphaiaphoroi Thraikioi. wonderful work.

    Of course the other units are great as well. Thanks to all who worked on that stuff.

    great units as usual
    I also want to know which faction those drwdae guys belong to and what king of role they'll play?
    I have only my spear to slay my next meal, my cloak to keep me warm, my sword and shield to defend my people. Duty and glory to my home is greater than my strengths can ever be. I am too weak to serve it rightly. However, I will fight for it, in hope that it will be enough.

    Well, Drwdae sounds rather celtish and their trousers look quite trillby, perhaps some new unit for the Casse?

    My guess is that it's the druid unit the Casse were supposed to get. The druids were going to be a well-equiped unit, but not exceptional fighters.

    drwdae are druids, AFAIK. Or some kind of druidic-elite guardsman or something. Anthony could explain better of course.

    We were trying really hard for something with a goofy white beard, hair, and cloak or this,

    but Anthony wouldn't bite.

    Wow, looks great!

    I found the trait "Passed Under the Yoke" a bit weird at first, but a quick Google search revealed this, so am I to take it that this is a trait for a non-Roman General who has been well and truly routed by Rome? Or a Roman General who has been routed by someone else?

    Still, looks intriguing :)

    Also, I read that routing generals in M2TW are captured by the victor instead of running away irritatingly (the victor can then choose their fate, apprently). Will you use "Passing under the Yoke" as an option in EB2 then? It would humiliate the general and maybe make others less eager to go to war with you?

    can we expect Latin or Celtic strat. map commands too?

    Sort of a Casse version of the Carnute Cingetos ?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    the rhompaia fellow is really nice, but the biggest change is no doubt the lighting - i always hated the linear RTW lighting

    That's what I understood, although the EB member (I think it was Anthony) emphasized that the druids won't be particularly skilled fighters.
