An Occultus Faction possibly worked out?

[olly]

Atomic bombs, mental squirrel death rays and other superweapons? Those are a no go, I'm afraid.

Did you not see the Pritanoi preview? Mental squirrel death rays are in!

But seriously he said that the next preview would be an "atomic bomb" in reference to everyone speculating on the factions being belgae and iberian so I'm expecting a surprise in the next one.......... whenever that is...........................

Just so everyone is clear on that, Brennus is not a member of the EB team, so his remark is just an educated guess. Unless he has somehow hacked our internal fora...

In any case, I think that we still have a few surprises in store for you!

EDIT: You beat me to it, Brennus!

Dang, you mean this atomic bomb shelter I've been burrowing for the past two weeks isn't going to be necessary? I guess that I also took him too seriously. But really, it doesn't seem certain to me that the next preview will be of an unrevealed faction. I'm personally really looking forward to a preview for the Bosporan Kingdom, mainly because I have no idea what to expect in terms of their units and government system. Though, if EB1's AoR units are a good representation, they may just be typical Hellenic units, plus a few Scythians and one awesome heavy foot archer unit.

Never underestimate the technical prowess of an archaeologist. I must say I didn't reaise so many of the team worked in lap dancing clubs...

I had quite a laugh reading the above posts. Who knew Brennus was "on the EB team".

Who dares doubt my modding abilities?



Any hints from the EBII team as to what the occultus factions are? I'll draw you a pretty picture if you help us out...

Nice concept art!

[B-Wing]

Is that a Bartix unit? General's bodyguard, perhaps?

I do.

so does Scorpion :

I had a similar feeling a few weeks ago. Although they were small I think they would be a worthy candidate. After all they were both powerful enough to cause the Romans concern on two occassions and were expansionist (migratory) at at least one point in their history, plus we know how their government functioned and that they employed a phalanx formation (at least in the first century BC).

As the Saba and the Pritanoi have survived as inclusions I think it gives the Helvetii a good chance.

makes sense to me. Now let's wait and see if it will be included.

Oh we all have. In fact we're all playing pirate EB2 now, and just keeping up pretences with all the occultus guessing games.

Its a great mod btw, but the Lugians and Nabataeans are a bit OP (camel riding FMs ftw!) and maybe you could tweak the Western Greek City State Alliance start positions so the Etruscans don't get rolled so easily.

[stratigos vasilios]

Brennus, you forgot to put the word Occultus over that sig you made. Now everyone can see which faction it is, the Celtibrennus'.

...Ok I think we've shaken the life out of this joke now.

Well if that is the case this should end the debate on releasing the mod quite nicely. There's no need for us to release anything, since you already got it!

That's ok, sorry we all got impatient. Now which of the four Goidelic factions to play as today, decision decisions. If you need any more high quality concept art just let me know.



As stratigos said maybe best we move on before Ludens comes after us. Is there any chance of the team giving us a clue as to what the occultus factions are?

[stratigos vasilios]

For some reason I'm feeling the Helvetii. Have they been ruled out?

Pls don't punish me for being a smartypants...

Lol the Atlantaeans aren't Goidelic.

It's nice to see that this thread isn't spammed in. At all
