    Default Countdown to Open Beta - SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS

    Well... the countdowns are coming thick and fast now. Here is one many of us have been waiting for. A glimpse of the Roman faction. As usual with EB announcement and previews there is just too much to put here.

    The origins of Roman civilization are shrouded in mystery. The Romans themselves had several myths to explain their beginnings. Many believed that the origin of Rome lies with a mysterious set of twins named Romulus and Remus. According to legend, around the year 753 BC, the twins were abandoned by their mother, Rhea Silvia, and were floated down the Tiber River, to the place where Rome was founded, and were raised by a she-wolf. Ultimately, Romulus would kill his brother Remus, and would become the first great king of Rome. Another myth, told by Virgil in the Aeneid, traces Roman origins back even farther, to the time of Achilles and Hector and the fall of Troy. In this version of the story, a young Trojan boy named Aeneas escapes the sack of Troy, and over the course of many years travels the Mediterranean in search of a new home for the displaced Trojans. Aeneas, after many adventures, settles along the Tiber River, and it is asserted by Virgil that Romulus and Remus are descendants of Aeneas. Neither of these myths can be substantiated by any physical evidence, and the existence of all three mythical characters is highly doubtful...

    You all know of the likely Roman units we can expect to see so I hope you head over to the,

    Technically speaking, we can't help but be getting closer unless they stop work. If they stopped work we wouldn't be getting any closer, but on the plus side, we wouldn't be getting any further away from release either....

    An apt observation

    Work is going pretty fast now, so you guys shouldn't be surprised if we have a beta between now and some later date.

    Another apt observasion. But, wouldnt that mean that you would have to stop development to prevent it being released on a later date. So, it would mean that it would have to be released sooner or later.
