EB Preview :: Hegemones tou Stratou |
|
Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.
Work on the next EB release is going smoothly, in fact workload has increase in the later days.
To show you how much work has been done here are some generals for you to view while waiting. These will be your family members, the male members of the royal family (or noble houses of Qarthadast) who will lead your armies to great victories or devastating defeats.
Thanks goes to stefan25 for these excellent generals. And to Caratacos for drawing the awesome shields and to Forgus for his aid on Baktrian shield! And also thanks to spirit of Rob for the Klerouchikoi Phalangitai at bottom of the preview.

Shields
Arche Seleukeia: This shield shows Apollo on the Omphallos surrounded with the framing motifs from the Philip II shield. The Apollo is the overwhelmingly dominant motif on Seleukid coins from this era and continues to be so until Antiochos IV.
Epeiros: This shield depicts the fearsome Kerberos, the three headed beast that guards the gates of the Underworld. Such a fitting image, for the leaders of the regions where the cruel Acheron river flows.
Makedonia: Motifs from the "Philip II" shield, with 7 half-circles surrounding the 8 pointed Makedonian star.
Ptolemaioi: The central theme is the Ptolemaic eagle gripping he thunderbolt, surrounded by Horus Egyptian motifs. This shows the actual fusion between both cultures.
The shields for Baktria & Qarthadastim contain graphical nudity, which is why they are clickable links instead of thumbnails.
View at own discretion:
BaktriaThe shield shows Dionysos, the god of the arts and altered-consciousness. Here he is flanked by his followers the Maenads after they had ripped Pentheus to pieces in the woods - his head rests under Dionysos' foot. It is said that in early times Dionysos had conquered Baktria and brought the art of wine to the region; hence the importance of Dionysos to the Hellenics in Baktria.
QarthadastimThis shield shows the image of Melkart/Melqart, the patron god of Tyre, Carthage`s mother city. He`s the Phoenician version of Herakles, and as such, he`s depicted killing the Nemean Lion, the first of Herakles`s 12 Labors.
And as a little bonus:
Kleruouchikoi Phalangitai Showcase----
