The work being done is just amazing. Hell, not so long ago there weren't even plans to replace the buildings. I'm positive the first roster will be amazing, and we'll just have to have some patience waiting for these guys:

Working on scythed chariots for the Arche Seleukia. - Tux

(I don't like chariots anyway )

[cahtush]

Concerning the most recent picture, i must question the historical accuracy.
Did the etruscans use the latin alphabet at 270 bc?
And from where did you get the source for the iconography?

[paullus]

We're basing it off a monument from Spring Break Populonium, dated first quarter of the 3rd century BC. It's a bit off, though: in the ancient evidence he wore aviators.

Doing some in depth research to find the reason some siege battles are prone to CTDs - Kull

Working with V.T. Marvin on the Nabatean government system - Moros

Hooray! Very interested in the Nabateans, I have come to learn a lot more about them lately.

Balancing unit stats - V.T. Marvin

Thanks to the work of bovi, we have identified the cause of the Siege Battle CTDs. Greek houses added to EBII and working - Kull

Tidying up the final descriptions for the Romans and Bosporan Kingdom by adding short descriptions to them - Gaius Scribonius Curio

Adding region specific Celtic temples to account for those deities not used in faction temples. For example Lenus of the Treveri - Brennus

General conclusion: testing phase, it seems!

[Stath's]

Ja, we have a flood of news!

[Ailfertes]

Short building descriptions for the Celts added to the game. So now you know what your building when you play - V.T. Marvin

Have just discovered that a slight change in screen resolution greatly improves the speed and appearance of EBII - Moros

Testing phase indeed.

Along with Celtic, Nomad and Greek buildings we now have our first Roman ones too. - Kull

Plural? This is going quite fast!

[LusitanianWolf]

Are you sure about that?

[RAWROMNOM]

My jaw just broke my desk.

[LusitanianWolf]

Are you sure about that?

Unlike Ailfertes I do love chariots and I´m totally impressed! :
Though I don´t have the guts to play as Arche Seleukia I do hope to get my hands on these beauties playing as Pontos! Unless Pontos gets different chariots thats is! Anyway, I will surelly use them in Custom Battles and maybe multiplayer!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And the Santa Claus reindeers are also uber cool

PS: Btw what I really really really don´t like is Cataphracts! :P

Nice one

They do look astounding! It's rather a 'philosophical' issue I have with them, though I'm prepared to reconsider. What are the downturned spikes for?

To cut anything that might get under the chariot. The same goes with the middle blade.

[Stath's]

Awesomenes!!! I was waiting nothing less:D

[Ailfertes]

Thanks to V.T. Marvin for adding the new, historically accurate Aedui temple descriptions. Let us all bow down to Borvos - Brennus

New pictures showing the work in progress being done on Seleukid scythed chariots. Check it out at https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...post2053563225 … - Tux

An infinite loop ensues.

Finished work on the Deuotegos Taranoi; the special temple for the Aedui dedicated to the god Taranos - Brennus

Scythed chariots finished - Tux

So I guess first release after all!

[moonburn]

Are you sure about that?

sometimes when i´m reading and browsing i get the impression that we as men haven´t evolved that much i bet this was the vehicule of some 40 year old who was begining to have grey hair or bold spots and decided to impress the ladies and the younger kids by pretending he is still a youngester (northern italy is filled with such dudes driving around on their ferrari´s but it still beats going to the public pool and watching these geezers with excessive bodyhair proeminet belly´s in their speedos it traumatizes you 1st the image and then the beautifull girl next to him while you are there with your old girlfriend who kind of has depreciated from the time you got her and from a beatifull teenage girl she became a woman with a fat ass some kind of belly flacid that you can´t drop cause she as some wierd pictures of you and you got acostumed to her )

[Maeran]

No, I never see anyone drive ferraris into the pool.

[Ailfertes]

Much news in the last 24 hours. Seems like the closed testing phase is creeping closer. For the management of the testers I propose solitary confinement with forced caffeine injections.
