Since a few faction slots are left open, I assume the EB II team might add more later on. Should I be chosen to select a new faction (God willing), these are my top two:
The Illyrians. Why?
*Well documented
*Positioned in an empty area of the map
*Posed a serious danger to Roman shipping in the Adriatic in the time period
*Politically united
*Would completely change the dynamic for the region
*Unique units and tactics.
*Relied on piracy.(Would be interesting to recreate in the MIITW engine.)
The Galatians.
*Extensive connections with surrounding literate states. Thus, tolerably well documented.
*Established a unified, independent state in Anatolia.
*Deeply influenced surrounding governments and cultures, including serving as mercenaries.
*Powerful combination of native swordsmen and Hellenic units. (I'm not claiming that the Galatians ever fought in a Greek style, but an expansionist faction would have access to Greek units.)
I'd like to hear everybody else's proposals.
