    I'm not sure if M2TW even has a horde option, I thought that was exclusive to BI.

    The only problem is that you cannot signify if an army is a horde or not. But what does such matter.

    I don't think hording will be used in EBII (if available at all). First, the team has rejected that feature for the EB timeframe numerous times, IIRC. Second, the nomad faction in EB(II)'s timeframe are very different from the great hordes roaming around Eastern and Central Europe around the Great Migrations Period.

    I think they rejected the feature because it required Barbarian Invasions and they wanted to stick to Rome.

    Also a quick look at history shows that there were a lot of hordes in EB's time frame that can compare to the ones in the Migration Period.

    Actually, there are some factions that are somewhat bound to use the "Horde" option. I'm thinking about nomad culture here. It sounds almost perfect that after the fall of the last major settled camp (town?) the nomad faction would gain a stack or two in order to migrate or repel the invaders.
