[L.C.Cinna]

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.

[Catuvellauni]

great units as usual
I also want to know which faction those drwdae guys belong to and what king of role they'll play?

[Basileus Seleukeia]

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.

That's a good idea

[Zaknafien]

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.

[I Am Herenow]

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?

[Imperator]

Greek Strategy Map Commands?

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

Sort of a Casse version of the Carnute Cingetos ?

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.

[Hamilkar Barkas]

amazing!

[Shifty_GMH]

Great work guys!!!

[Martinus X]
