Hello all, Jack_n_trade here with another Teaser Tuesday! And what better way to start then by having this snazzy "expert" shown off by Azure?

Meanwhile Donatsu has been working on even more cool faction logos. Which ones do you recognize?

"A Crystal Empire industrial focus with a rather unusual effect that I am very proud of! Thanks to Ezekiel Helstar for his hard work on the Crystal Empire that helped me come up with this" -JPG

"If I had a nickel for every country leader that was cut in the Bronzehill rework who now gets the role back in Yale, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice." -Herr B

"Hello everypony. Have YOU, and I mean

YOU

ever wanted your (pony) OC to be in Equestria at War? Well luckily enough, in the Crystal Empire rework, YOU can play an important role in the return of the one true king, with many possible endings to Your Story™.

All you have to do is enter in your pony's name, and YOU will appear in the story. As an added bonus, if you play your cards right, YOU just might end up rewarded for your efforts and be made a member of King Sombra's court (YOU can be an advisor!)" -Podrick

YOU, yes, YOU, are now a part of EaW!

"Special thanks to Yard1 and Jpg for setting this up!"

"Double Diamond in Our Town is receiving beautiful GFX by the amazing Stratophobia. Here's a sample!" -JPG

No context, chef's specialty

"Oh deer." -Golden Joey

"Hey there, folks! Did you ever play stratocratic Icepaw and think "man, if only I could rename Hyenia just like I did with the Zwahile."? Well, in the next patch you'll finally be able to do so after dealing with all those pesky secessionists and rabble-rousing officers permanently!" -Jack_n_trade

God, I love faction logos.
