Oh, there are snakes. They run underneath her chin and the heads pop out of her hair just underneath the owl wings. At some point in the Hellenistic era (maybe even a little before), the Medusa of the hideous type disappeared and was replaced with the Rondanini type.

We had a real blockbuster today.

Hellenistic medusas varied greatly in their appearance.

Here
you can quote their posts in their
Twitter account and ask them for details :D
Ill start by saying this...
Moros?
IS That a new faction ?
Im asking this since in the .Org
There have been disccusions and debates over that faction or nation ( wich i dont know anything about)
but Where is Moros Loccated?
:P
I've tried, but I did not yet succeed in becoming an EB faction. Where it would be located? Well probably the Eastern Belgae province, I guess...

Oh no. The general shape and structure of boat is however common enough when you go to places where there are two very prevalent risks: getting grounded and subsequently raided by the local coastal people, getting caught in rough waves, shipwrecked and subsequently raided by the local coastal people. It requires a low draught (draft), agile, and stable ship. The longboat as you know it is just that but there are many similar designs all over the world.
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
I can't believe the level of historic detail you guys are aiming for in this mod. Even in RTW it was unbelievable... but what I see on twitter and here makes me wonder why you don't think about creating your own computer game after EB2 is done.

Because they would need someone (read: a large team) to code the engine?
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Indeed, most of the EB team are historians and modders. It would be cool, but there aren't enough people on the team with knowledge of complex coding to write an engine. Besides, most of the team makes EB as a hobby and has many other obligations.

So unless there's a company or (b/m)illionaire crazy enough to hire one for us that's never going to happen.
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Well, I am not talking about now, this month or even this year. I'm talking here about the future after EB2 and after M2TW. I doubt you can (or even want) make EB3 for ETW... and I don't want the whole project to die due to lack of a new platform.
The way I see it, you could talk to Paradox Interactive (Europa Universalis people). They released even more amateur games in the past (Mount&Blade for example)... and they surely could buy you an engine you want (bought one for East India Company for example). Just think about it. :-)
Also, today's update is pretty sweet too. It would be a really great addition to the whole role-playing aspect of the game:

aghhhhh
I knew it was you , but at first (im no expert historian ) i thought Moros was a new faction u__u:doh::(
Please sticky it!
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
There's some progress on Getai apparently.

Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Yeah and a lot nicer than before with the new engine.:) Don't forget the drapanai modell too.:P
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
EB1 with all the RTW ancient engine stuff still has one of the most eye-candy, detailed and best-looking models I've ever seen in computer games. I probably can't even imagine what you guys are cooking for EB2. :-)
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Delra has spoken golden words...
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Looks good. Can't wait to see the whole unit.
Re: " unOfficial EB twitter updates discussion"
Hell yeah, think about when those late era Pahlavan cataphracts will look like and pahlava late bodyguards or even hetairoi, nothing can beat awesomeness of those units :P.

Team members: PM me if you need funding.
What? Who said self-made men don't browse these forums?

If those new heavy skirmishers are what previously was elite skirmishers, it means those guys are transferred to EB2 as well:
