With Brennus involved I would think Belgae but 4-6 factions is too many in my opinion. I'm leaning towards Galatians being the culture but what would the new faction be? Tylis perhaps?

Moonburn, the problem with suggesting it may be the Arevaci is that I don't speak Spanish.... But I can read Italian.

Wolves makes think of the Uolkai or the Daoi, but frankly both factions would be redundant imo...
If the Belgae lived on "hills", then right now I'm sitting atop Mt. Everest XD
So I'd say somewhere near the Adriatic coast...
What about the Swiss? I mean Helveti etc.

Is that a "correct! but we call them differently" or a "well we also have those, but that's not it ^^"?

Oh no, I was just Celticising the spelling; like the Bellouakoi, Belloi, Boioi, Auernoi, Uolcae, Kantabroi, Kimbroi. Thankfully we don't need to change the spelling for the Teutones, Aedui or Atrebates or we would really have our work cut out!
Just writing information for the faction preview.... Getting sick of writing the word "Sicily".

Hiero!!!
I really hope that's him ^^
sicels? hmm... mika waltari had them in the sicilian woods as some kind of barbarians in the book The eturuscan so on my opinion its either syracyse or something else.
But that books is in 520–450 bc so hmm.. but what else could be in sicily then... so i vote syracuse

The Sicels were key players in Pyrrhus' Sicilian Wars with Carthage. Their loyalties (along with some greek poleis) help determined whether he was eventually successful or not which of course he wasn't.

As mad as the EBII team has shown itself in the past do you really think they would stick a Celtic archaeologist onto the task of developing a Greek faction like Syracuse? (though just imagine the unit roster!). I have also been writing the words "Epona" "Lugus" "Pritanoi" "Elephants" "Phoenicians" and "Uenetoi" alot lately.

Crazy like a fox perhaps to stick you on Syracuse?
Well maybe you mean the Veneti though they aren't truly Celtic peoples either AFAIK (the ones in the Po basin at least). Perhaps the Insubres or the Italic Boii though two Boii factions would be confusing. And what would those Gallic factions have to do with Sicily? Ligurians perhaps? Gah this is frustrating.

I think he's speaking of those in Brittany...
Seems like a faction living near the Atlantic Coast, or having to do with the tin trade routes...
Kantabroi perhaps? I'd be kinda amazed, if they made it as a faction though :P
I hope it's something else XD

Yet he speaks of knowing Italian and not being familiar with Spanish might doom any research into the Cantabroi or other Northern Iberian peoples. He also spoke of the faction being a thorn in the side of two of the most popular EB factions, something which had made me think Syracuse along with his Sicily hint. The plot thickens.

You guys like Pontos and the Arche Seleukia don't you?
Just posted the text I was working on all day. Just a few more things to finalise and we shall have a faction preview. Time to hit my mate's flat with a bottle of vodka and the finest/worst collection of Hair Metal since MTV started airing Nirvana videos.
EDIT: Also, Sir Robin for the cray like a fox comment.

I'm still quite sure it has to do with the Galatians. We'll see.
‘Abdü’l-Mecīd-i evvel
The Volcae (Uolcae?) as the culture? As for the new faction...? Well if we can take Pontos and Seleucids as something other than a misdirection that would point toward Bithynia, but that seems..unlikely to me. Perhaps some Belgae faction? I don't know, but I'm looking forward to finding out soon
Well I'm genuinely confused lol
Reading about this mysterious faction and its connection to half of the ancient world, is going to be quite interesting :P
so many possibilities, so few faction slots *sigh*
now it sounds as if it would be galatia or those ancient georgians
aaaaah, it's the arevaci anyway - he's trying to misguide us!

If he were the spreader of Moros-style misinformation but without us having the knowledge that he is in fact a spreader of misinformation...now that would be devious.
P.S. Thank you Brennus for the balloon!

Faction symbol information written and posted... I really need to keep better records of the articles I use, would make things so much faster. Time to write unit descriptions.

Brennus, you teaser! XD
i would always pick the one in armorica and the bituriges before putting in the volcae even tough they could have a liason to syracuse by way or either massilya or emporion since they are "neighbhours" to those 2 greek city´s but ... well i´ve been proven wrong before and as for the arevaci most of the basic literature about them is translated into english
I should have mentioned, some of things I have been writing have nothing to do with the faction I am working on... I have also been helping Moros with his work. Now, as far as I can recall Moros specialises in other cultures......
