Butthis was my statement only because Casse inactivity..... If U can made them more aggresive in EB II they're fine anyway...

I gave the Casse 1 Belgian settlement in ~220BC
It is now 140BC (they are role played as numbers 23 and 18)

Thats a big chunk of Germania there.

Sadly, I did not consider the Eleutheroi in the poll

.

Sab'yn is a waste, you rarely get to meet them and the sit and squat in that tiny corner of Arabia they got there. Nobody would want to even bother to get there because it is too far from the main field of action (Namely Greece, Italy, Asia Minor and Germany).

Not if you play the ptolemaioi they're not! My cities in the levant are always being attacked by the little buggers and come EB II when naval invasions will actually happen they will make holding on to the upper nile area a real pain.

Ahh.... I see. Normally I play mainly European Campaigns.
Hey, what about this. What if THe EBII team got an extra faction to be with Sab'yn on the Arabic Peninsula or be on east Africa to give The Ptolemaioi EXTREME HELL!!!

Seeing you get pwned would be priceless, especially for sucessor haters.

Dont worry. You'll be fine.

Plus, the engine requires factions to let cities rebel to. Thus if no Saba what Arabian faction would cover for Arabia Felix (Yemen) ? Should we go back to the days of 0.74 when you'd see Parthia and Ptolemaioi at war over Carna (because Carna rebelled to Parthia because it was chosen to meet this requirement) ?

Well, if the cities rebelled, can't they rebel to the rebels (Slave)?

Ha! no need to worry, I'm about to invade their homelands with my ethiopian army they won't be around for much longer.

As for a new faction it might happen on the peninsula but not in east africa as there are no more culture slots left (you would have non black family members!).

Also you neglected to place Pergamon on the poll, who is now a confirmed faction >_>

for the sake of more Aggresive Saby'n I suggest EB II gives all the southren arabia with them... not too historic maybe... but it will boost their economic strength... My Ptolemaioi campaign usually quell them relatively easy... they are the weakest faction anyways...
