Emerging faction idea

Let's wait EB 2 Relased, and making submod about Judea (By kicking an sightly unimportant faction.... (oops) such as ............ (fill with an EB 2 faction who'll act like Scotland in M2TW)

Macabean faction would be an interesting idea. If it would make its way into EB II, I'd gladly try that campaign, but it would be nigh-impossible to succeed with that faction. Not only it is squeezed between 2 superpowers, it's also very near core recruitment centers of those superpowers. Not like Pahlava or Saka, who have to fight lots of Pantodatoi before better Sele troops reach them, Ioudoi (sp) would have to fight best Ptolie/AS troops from the start. Second thing is that Judea did not have any ambitions of expanding and conquest. The value of the faction that would just sit in one region, waiting to be conquered is not that great. But if EB is an alternative history, then - why not?

scotland kicks ass.. my cousin plays M2TW and the campaigns i've seen scotland lasts either forever or does real damage on england. getting rid of scotland would be retarded.

hey.. if that's the case of Britannia campaign, that's true when the scots start as second largest, and most advantageous position against england... but I talk about the M2TW Imperial campaign, and Scotland starts with just Edinburgh.... No.. I talk about When I play NOT as England (In case any human player play as England, Scots will be Blitzed without mercy...)...... The scots become the most "Retarded" faction... never expand much, and usually getting killed before 1150... Only in one occasion (when not play as Scots himself), the Scots kick england.... but it was only because french troops blitz england on his southern border....

One-province faction should start with better miliraty terms, especially when the dumb AI use them, and they has a very - very bad neighbour (s)...... Pontos and Hai are in better position (EB), because AS troops was somewhat rare in asia minor, but England in M2TW... think again... that's why I use Scots as example...

EDIT: except your cousins play england, roleplay to let Scots grow first, and decide to kick french ass first... Scots highland nobles kill like crazy against infantry.... and they have earlier pike troops to rid english cav... If they grows (or helped to grow), sure they will do real damage, or even wipe english out...
