Hey Bitey Terrier: you guys choose between Masinissa's people or those of Syphax?
The Western Kingdom seems like it'd give more space on the campaign map, imo, though the Eastern was probably (just a hunch) more 'advanced', as they say.

Starting your post calling someone 'Bitey Terrier' probably won't help you get an answer, really.
It's Foot's self-chosen title. I think it will be okay :beam:.
Right. My mistake then.
Just like I call myself a dotard. Or is that my wife? I confuse us occasionally.
I would just like to see one of them, I really don't have a preference. That side of the map is a bit barren.
the faction list I prefer:
Romans
Illyrians
Carthage
Pontus
Parthia
Numidia
Gauls(not one faction)
Britons(not one faction)
germanic tribes(not 1 faction)
Macedonia
Greece(or Koinon Helenikon)
Dacia
Saba
Ptolmey
Selecuid empire
hispanians(not 1 faction)
Meccabians(emergant)
I agree. I also would like to see the Yuezhi, but that's the only emerging faction I am interested in.Quote:

- Numidians
- Another faction in the british isles
- An indian satrapy, as far as it's possible
- Another germanic faction in eastern europe. The area is so damn empty atm, I've never ever been there except in a Sweboz campaign.
- Probably Syrakousai (sp?) though it would be a nite-impossible faction
- Another gallic-ish faction in western europe, either Celtiberian or Belgae, or both :D
Can you guys tell me whether you've considered the Cherusci, because i'd really like to see them in the game.
.. and think they have some valid reasons for being in it
or if not the Cherusci than the Chatti
Definetly another British tribe, the casse have far too much of a free reign over they're surrounding lands than anyone else which is simply not historical
The only thing that Brits did in that time is a resist to Roman invasions, and as far as I suppose, this is possible even for rebels. Definitely no 2nd brit-faction, or it will be extremely stupidity.
If make them not to attack mainland, you'll have one passive faction; if allow, than it will be completely ahistorical, so no faction in that area is option too, your should choose something ...
How about you don't think about them in relation to the romans? They were an important power world-wide, commanding great trading power over much of the known world and great authority over the rest of the celtic world.Quote:

There's no need for an emergent faction to be unplayable. I remember a Mod for BI that once beginning playing as the rebels, clicking on a specific settlement, allowed a script to be activated. This ran a completely AI game until the faction emerged. Played as the Romano-British that way.Quote:

is it still true that there are still 2 factions slots for eb2 unchosen?
If the team chooses Pergamon or the Galatians/Bythinians, the area would be clogged up waay too much. 4-5 factions will fight for a single patch of land, which would mean endless battles.
That exectly why we didin't include Galatians in AtB.I would really like just Pontos and Pergamon in Asia minor in EB 2.
Other factions that would be good are Boii and another briton faction.
If Pergamon made it in EB2, what units would it have? I'm not sure whether its warfare was more successor-like or more like KH's.
Something like KH+Souromatae
Are you sure you haven't mistaken Pergamon with Bosphoran kingdom?Quote:

has the kingdom of Meroe been ruled out?
That's interesting, if that could be implemented for EB2 for the Yuezhi then I would definitly support playing as them.Quote:

Over time they would make a culture very different and unique of other cultures.
Would be challenging to the ptolemies and would add some more action in africa.
They would start with Meroe, Kerma, and Napata the three most important cities in Nubia/Kush/Meroe I would imagine.
What do you think?
The Kingdom of Kush is totally out of the historical time frame of the period. It is actually. I'm not joking.
I woud like to see smaller factions like pontus, like Syracuse where you conquer sicily and gets stuck betwen two major powers.
Thats cool, but we were actually talking about the Meroitic Kingdom maybe you should take closer attention next time mateQuote:

It is a kingdom with relevance to the game and I believe is important enough to be in it
