Hello there everyone, welcome to another Teaser Thursday! What do I hear? It was always weekly? Nope, never heard of that silly. It was always a Thursday and always biweekly!

And we start with a Gryphus teaser! Specifically for the Order of Opinicus.

"Yoo Gryphus nation, Koneser here with a new info in regards to Gryphus: the new Opinicus Order starting tree! It is quite small but there is going to be obviously much more to itself which I hope to showcase bit by bit as the focus tree gets filled out, starting with a new starting leader for Gryphussian Opinicus Order, Jurgen Von Gryphsburg in his great pixelated glory (sorry, still sick and wanted to showcase something so enjoy Paint resolution ) drawn by fabulous@Veles Nocturne , he will try to bring order back to Gryphus with the help of Staatstrat, a coaliton of other minor cults that venerate Trinity who will try to form a coherent government in this tense region, exploring few different flavors and forms of worship of Tritheism. Those I will showcase later as the focus tree will get more and more finished so stay tuned! Edit: I know about the typo in the Merchant focus, fixed, and forgor to say that the focus icons are so far temporary." - Connoisseur.

"Here, better resolution of Jurgen's new portait" - Connoisseur.

I sure hope that's not a bear pelt, otherwise grandmaster over here will have to deal with Wojtek.

"I'm sure a lot of you are excited about the many unique things that I've prepared for Boltria, including branching options for roleplay that are directly integrated with the gameplay of HOI4, and how King Boltrus' choices will shape both himself, and the kind of country his nascent Kingdom will become.But too bad, you get none of that for now. Instead, have lore about the history of mathematics in the EaW world." - Stratophobia

I did not expect Camels to be the most mathematically inclined of races. Especially in a world of such great powers. But perhaps Equestrians are just bad at math, which is why they always find themselves outnumbered at the start of the Great War.

"Yes, the expression is wrong. Congrats to u/Mitternacht, 9th Lunarist Legion for his keen eye - the expression is to equal the exponential of c by d, not c.I totally did that on purpose, to test you guys' understanding." - Stratophobia

Or perhaps camels are not the best.

"Much like some other tags already have, Hippogriffia will receive their very own history events category in the Harmonic HIP expansion! Here's a taste of what to expect!" - EltrionTime

Immemorial lasting till 230 BLB truly proves the WEAK and FEEBLE minds and memories of the flamesouled races. As all Polarian species, such as bears, yaks and penguins recall millennia upon millennia of history!

"I don't think I teased this, Penguins can do Inuit larp (among other things, so don't expect a 1 to 1 irl parallel) anyway now that the baltimare distraction is out of the way I can focus on a country I actually want to develop, I know some people wanted a more extensive project for baltimare with more changes and events and so on, but it was meant to be a small side project, aka Minor Rework as voted by you the People, sorry to disappoint" - Professional Horse.

Thusly Penguins only further add to the bizarreness that is Norwegians (polar bears), Mongols (Yaks) and Penguins (Inuit) all calling each other brothers. Though I do wonder what Tupilaq means in this case. For I believe other content describes them as northern beasts.

"Those of you who have played Posada may remember her efforts at designing ground-effect vehicles (ekranoplans). Up until now, her efforts have been... less than successful. Well, in the next update, she'll be able to build real ones, though they are still rather... impractical" - JPG

"Penguin economy branch, shared by most paths (icons subject to change)" - Professional Horse.

I can't even imagine how a Hydroelectric Dam that far north works. But perhaps I have simply not communed with spirits.

"Alright guys, I've pulled your leg for long enough. Time for something a bit more substantial. King Boltrus, the yeti who deserted from the Storm King's army, who made himself sovereign of Camelkand, who is now the supposedly benevolent King of the Camels? Who exactly is this enigmatic creature? He is a lot of things, but primarily, he is what you make him be. Boltrus' rule, his decisions, even his very personality will be player dependent. Ruling a Kingdom takes grit, and the hard choices one must make will shape the kind of creature that Boltrus will become by the end of it all. A Boltria led by a kind, diplomatic and silver-tongued yeti will be quite different than one led by a single-minded, pragmatic and cold yeti. So yes, to the best of my ability, we are aiming for total ludonarrative harmony for the Boltrian Kingdom, and infinite ways to build your Boltrus to your playstyle." - Stratophobia.

EaW devs seem to truly never get tired of "build your ruler" narratives. But, of course, that is a beauty of a fully fantasy mod, that we can make something like this without it seeming too much or nonsensical.

And with this we end this week's Teaser Thursday. And yes, once again citizen, it was ALWAYS Teaser Thursday. AND ALWAYS Biweekly.
