    Which would be filled excellently by the Boii or Lugii, and you'll note the Boii are a very popular choice for a new faction.

    Voted for:
    Boii - one of the most powerful of celtic tribes, plus interesting starting position in central Europe
    Celtiberi - hopefully Arevaci or some other tribe will make it to stop the insane Lusitani
    Nabatea - already explained by many
    Atropatene - not much place in the East leaves only a few possible candidates, among them I think this would be the best option
    Nubia - just a wish I guess, would distract Ptolemies from becoming Yellow death once again

    Another Germanic tribe would be great,I also voted for Judea (even if it wouldn't historically cope....) because I think Jews are UNDER-REPRESENTED in games!

    They were a backwater people at that time like so many other people not really represented in EB - though they did have slightly odd view on religion for the time. They even have their own unit and in that respect I would say they are OVER-REPRESENTED, since jews were not put in seperate units.

    Over-represented?

    Has an RTS game ever been made about the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel?

    The answer is definitly NO.

    Moreover,their 'odd' conception of religion at the time made for the Christian and Islamic religions......
    This is why they are quite important,a game without them is a game which has missed a MAJOR part of history.

    Sorry, to bug in but, You can play the Kingdom of Israel in Empire Earth. (Btw, it's too old and ..... let's just say graphically impaired)

    Certainly not Under. Though maybe the importance of the Temple could be improved in EB.

    Not that I know off. And though I would like to play one, not in EB since it plays in a completely different time.

    Judaïsm is very important historically. But their importance in 272BC - 14AD was the same as any small culture on the EB-map, except for that one heretic that born then and became equally historically important.
