Europa Barbarorum 2 questions

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I wanted to know a few things about EB2,
1) Will it be on Medieval 2 Total War, or its expansion, Kingdoms?
2) Will there be new factions, new units for existing factions, and new traits/ancillaries?
3) Will it incorporate the different models for units so that we don't have to suffer the Clone Wars?
4) Will it incorporate the different settlement types, castles and cities, or simply overwrite this feature?
5) Will religion play a larger role in the Europa Barbarorum or remain the same?

Just a few questions I was hoping you'd answer.
btw, I was curious,
Argyraspidai translates as Silver/Silver Shield, and Thorakitai translates as Heavy Spearmen, so wouldn't Thorakitai Argyraspidai mean something along the lines of Shilver Heavy Spearmen, or Silver Shield Heavy Spearmen?

Just out of curiosity.

1)Probably Kingdoms, seeing as it is supposed to provide more options and features.
2)Yes, probably, most likely.
3)Yes. A nice feature of M2TW.
4)Yet to be decided.
5)Yet to be decided.

EDIT: I know not Greek. But I do know that Argyraspidai means silver shield. And Argyraspidai were the elites of the Seleucids and Makedonians. So Thorakitai Argyraspidai are elite Thorakitai.
