Why dont you make a little bigger the map and ...

[The General]

No way. Numidia MUST be in

It could, of course, share the Qart-Hadast/Sab'yn culture... <.< >.>

Because yeah, gief Numidia. I never really played it in the original RTW, though, but then again, I really didn't play the original RTW much at all, either.

Numidia is being discussed, although they are a North African faction, Semitic actually.

[General Appo]

It has been hinted that two new Semitic (Culture used by Karth-Hadast and Sab&#180;yn) factions are going to be in EB2, and since both Mer&#246;e and Axum and been confirmed not parts of the game, I think we can say with some clearity that there are going to be at least on Numidian-like faction. There might even be two, as I don&#180;t see what other semitic ones there could be, unless they add a Libyan/Garamantine or some other Arabian faction, but that doesn&#180;t seem likely to me.

[Mithridates VI Eupator]

I agree. Two Numidian-ish factions would make most sense, however, one can not be certain. Both the Nabateans and Charakene would fit into this culture group, although I'm not really sure of their situation, politics-wise, in 272 B.C.
Still, I believe that the Numidians had a greater impact on history as a whole than the other two. Also, in my opinion, the western half of the map needs some more factions. Thus, I would probably like to see two north-west african factions more, even though both Charakene and Nabatea sure would be fun too.
However, I have mentioned this earlier in other threads, so enough on this.
I shall try not to speculate to much on what will be in the mod, but rather wait patiently for it to arrive, so that I can experience it first-hand!
