Well, technically, nobody on the team said it was a German AoR unit. <_<

Re: Twitter discussion
Just a random question - will EB2 use the features of the Kingdoms expansion or will it be MTW2 only?
Re: Twitter discussion
GOGO twitter, work in my 2 fav EB1 factions (ok, iberia don't mean Lusos but who care's, I'm all for another/s iberian faction/s)!
I saw that too but thought it was way too obvious and that should be some hidden meaning elsewhere, probably what is writen in the chainsaw (that I couldnt read). XDOriginally Posted by Tux

Re: Twitter discussion
I'd like to see your proof that Germans can't be ugly or dark haired?
Re: Twitter discussion
well since he is in fact a Austrian guy i wouldn't be too suprised if there would be running a good part of eastern european blood in his veins ;)
just wild speculation from my side of course :D
people living in germany of course ALL are (and allways have been) fair and blue eyed.. couldn't imagine it any other way :P (for those that didn't notice: beware! sarcasm!)

Unsre Farben – Weiß und Blau!
Re: Twitter discussion
weird how hitliers propaganda can still affect our perceptions of an entire people who live in the boundaries of a state :P
Re: Twitter discussion
it´s almost as absurd as calling bayern part of deutschland they should be called upper austria :\
anyway i was just making a remark i noticed the hairknot but the fact that today germans have like everyone else intermingled with others and no longer have per se those phisical caractheristics doesn´t mean that in the past such "interminglings" where normal and to find someone wich "southern" caractheristics in a sweboz warband seems wierd to me also tux what is it written in that modern axe :?
Re: Twitter discussion
well not every germanic was blond(or red haired) it was just much more common amung Germanics(and celts) than romans and greeks to have blond or red hair, which explains why "we" were often discribed as blond.
tho I found a different "wrong" detail. As EB stands for Historical accuracy I think you should refrain from giveing a suebi unit a swedish chainsaw, Dolmar would be the logical choice. ;)

Re: Twitter discussion
Austria is only a part of Germany where they speak a funny dialect. Similarly, the Czech want to hide the fact that they're actually Germans by speaking an obscure language.
Intermingling is as old as humanity itself. Some basic traits and features do exist though and have probably existed since Homo sapiens first settled this part of the world. For example, Northern Germans are not only fairer (by colour, I mean) on average than Southerners, but also tend to have different faces. Southern Germans have a greater variety of colours ranging from light blonde to black-haired types, even darker skin. They can resemble pretty much any ethnic group from Scandinavia to Spain to Afghanistan. By contrast, most Northerners look a lot like Scandinavians. I'm fairly certain that these characteristics, though perhaps a little less extreme back in EB's timeframe, predate the modern age.anyway i was just making a remark i noticed the hairknot but the fact that today germans have like everyone else intermingled with others and no longer have per se those phisical caractheristics doesn´t mean that in the past such "interminglings" where normal and to find someone wich "southern" caractheristics in a sweboz warband seems wierd to me also tux what is it written in that modern axe :?
Also, Schwarzenegger IMO displays a typical look of Alpine/Southern German types.
