Ah well, at least now is not "choppy choppy time".

I don't know about you guys but I've never heard of most of these factions, and I've watched a lot of history channel, so they can't be that important. I think we can safely clump everyone, apart from the almighty world inheriting Romans, as Greeks and Barbarians, which frees up about...15 new factions which we can use to represent the leading Roman families. Of course we'll need a few new cities in Italy to house all these families, so we'll just give the map a bit of a hair cut, say north south line through the Caspian Sea, nothing important happened over there anyway.

While we're at it we might use the last faction spot (you weren't paying attention were you?) for an emergent faction, the legendary tribes of Bartix, just to keep things interesting before what promises to be a fairly hectic Roman civil war.

If this gonna be true, the slots are better used to represent Athenai, Sparte, Rhodos, and much Diadochian family too... btw, in this period... Romans are just a bunch of arrogant people who lived in Italia... Fortuna seems to prefer them anyway...

Agree. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

[ziegenpeter]

Have you ever thought about that in EBII wich is based on MTWII the corner-factions like saba and casse will probably act much better?
well think about it.
btfw, who needs rome? ;)

[Iskander 3.1]

Alright, so I can play as the Scipii, or maybe the Brutii? And we can lump the Macedonians with the Greek cities, since nobody can tell the difference between them anyways.

I think this guy gets a xiphos in the face straight after Alsatia...you're knowledge of the ancient world is entirely based on 'a lot of history channel'? Why are you here? Go away!

And stop quoting Bartix. You weren't there man! You don't know what it was like...!

[bobbin]

I think he was being just the tiniest bit ironic, unless you are too.....owww my head.

Psst...I carefully worded my response so that it would work whether he was joking or being serious...yay

Makedonia, for they got conquered by the Romani.

[Alsatia]

Isn't it a bit stupid to argue with a member of the EB team.

Has that meant that we have made some conclusions that cannot be fully deducted from the evidence we have? Yes, such is history. Have we done so more than we have for other factions? Yes. Has that been necessary? Yes. Can we not just shift that faction slot to another area where less inferences need to be made? Possibly, but then I would also suggest that we remove Hayasdan as well. The archaelogical record (at the moment) is almost non-existent for our time-period, and as for written sources, they are contradictory, unsatisfactory and annoyingly limited.

Did you suggest that you will kick Hayasdan? Or was that an Example?



The EB Team, to my understanding, has been hit repeatedly with threats and complaints. I believe that if we let the team alone, give a few friendly suggestions, they will get thew job done faster, we can then enjoy EBII (hopefully) before 2012.

Mind you, sayng that Macedonia is rubbish (not that I am) will get a few interesting replies......

[Bucefalo]

I think they could merge all the unwashed barbarians into one faction, all the greeks into the "greek cities" and divide the roman in 3 useless factions. Then Bactria should be renamed to Bartix, and given some Yutseb elephants and Amazon chariots.

Just kidding

[Atraphoenix]

this thread is pointless, we have both place for all the current factions and for the new ones as well.
faction fanaticism really annoys me

[Alsatia]

And so it does. This is an opinion thread. Like "If you had a choice" kind of thing.

[Atraphoenix]

but the thread has already been another place of "greko-roman thread fights"....
more than 20 wants romani to be omitted...
some may think this thread as fun but there is no use for a neutral idea here...

[Celtic_Punk]

hahaha rome got 18 votes. Great

[AttilaDerHunn]

hey what if i suggested a black dominated faction (Ethiopia maybe?i think they were farther down Africa)

If you can find a way to add another culture slot, that would indeed be great! But, alas...

Hopefully.........(I think Mr. boom-boom will get angry at CA if they didnt add another culture slot to R2:TW and he WILL bring his friend Mr.C4)

[artaxerxes]

why do people argue against the EB team? I mean it's a mod, even if there were any flaws (I can't see them), I mean ITS A MOD

As for the quiz: obviously the Seleukids and the Ptolemies should be deleted and their provinces just given to Sweboz. That could easily simulate the same development of the world as the current array of factions does.
