Cross your fingers and hope for the best. ~:)

Description
These ferocious men have been condemned by their local religious leaders for false teachings. When this happens, they take to roving the battlefield. Their crazed teachings can often convince enemy soldiers to take their side. Should this fail, they are very handy with their staves.
Historically, Raving Heretics didn't come until much later in the Roman Empire."
What? You say that they didn't exist historically? Oh poo! Variety is the spice of life. Anyway, we should be grateful that we're getting anything at all, not complaining about little things like historical accuracy. After all, history's so stuffy.
For example, Egyptians could be more hellenised at the begging, but after some devastating plaque they could start returning back to their old roots.Quote:

Personally I´d like to see a TW-game that takes us back to the gradle of civilization with Babylonians, Egyptians etc set around three eras from 3000-350 bc with an expansion dealing with the era of Alexander the Great.
Its a game! (sorry but all this negativity is getting to me!)Quote:

Playing as the eastern empire and trying to reunite the empire would be a good setting IMO and would give them another chance to sort out the horse archers!
For me the preferred option would be R:TW Fall of the Roman Empire. Or, R:TW Rise of Byzantium. Constantine the Great, rise of Christendom, barbarians at the gate, easterners and the rest of them. Humungously toptastic.
I would also like to see a expanshion featuring the Barbarian invashion and also those from persia and the bedouins not just the visigoths samaratins, huns e.c.t
The title Rome: Total War Expansion Pack doesn't give much away does it.
I like the fall of rome: idea. ~D ~D ~D
