Damn you Moros
Then I'll say it's definitely Lugians (c'mon answer with Definitely. )

Almost to the 3/4 mark of units for the first release.

*Beeeep* :o

[Phalanx300]

No almost 3/4 of the units for Gaza campaign are complete!? :O Can't wait.

And can we get more information on those Germanic or Germanic influenced spearmen? :P

As an sidenote: Will Gaza allow for multiplayer gameplay? (obviously with the limited units only in the Gaza campaign)

No, for the first release of the mod, which will be after the Gaza campaign. However, those units may be included in the Gaza campaign for custom battle and multiplayer.

That would be great for the multiplayer community!

Nope, 3/4 for the first total release. I would like to say how many units comprise the first release, but I'm afraid I would release classified data... or would I?, I dunno.

Currently the unit department is advancing at a good pace, thanks to the efforts of Gustave, Huene, Tux and Jorge (It would go faster if we had an additional skinner to help Gustave, though), but what we are now really missing are good text writers and some key historians to help some factions that are currently lagging behind in development.

Don't worry, be sure I'll help him out and I'm doing so after the units for the sweboz are done.

Are there any updates/news on Gaza Campaign that we fans can know about?

[Tux]

It's not done.

*nearly inserts a tactless joke about Gaza*

srsly: just wait for it; if they're 3/4 the way done from a beta, then the Gaza campaign is near release. when that happens, we can al enjoy the wonerful sight of two great hellenistic armies fighting with each other.

afterall: who in his right mind releases the tutorial after the game itself?

[Moros]

Gaza campaign =/= First release.

The first is a tutorial campaign. The latter is a full working mod with a full campaign map, but not with all the features,units,.. the final version will have.

Indeed, bravo.

And here's your bonus for guessing at least the faction, some pics of eb2's elite regional lugii unit:

Awesome. Will they have javelins or a secondary melee weapon? And will they be recruitable for Swêboz?

[Mediolanicus]

Great work Tux!

Athanaric, look at the screenshots :p
Javelin and Spear.

[Tux]

Afaik yep.

[Kuningaz]

Yay!
2 questions: Will the Lugians be in as faction (you said I got the faction right) or will they be just a regional unit?
And I noticed little shield symbols on 2 of the unit cards Does that mean they'll have at least 2 stages of evolution?

Ah and I almost forgot to say that they look pretty awesome!

[Phalanx300]

Nicely spotted Kuningaz, new EB faction is Lugians!

But yeah really nice units, also interesting as well being a mix of both Celts and Germanics from the looks of it.

They're just a regional unit recruitable by the Sweboz.

Yep it's an early and late unit, most units in eb2 will be like this. It's a nice way to add to the diversity and not get bored of the units as the game advances.

Thanks.

Yeah the only one who thought that the unit may be lugian, both here and on TWC. Sadly no, there are other factions which were more important than the Lugians for that timeframe. Which factions those are will be revealed in the future.
