    There can´t be any other italian faction besides the Romans, they were all subjugated by the starting timeframe, so no samnites or campanians.. mamertines could be, but very unlikely. Stop teasing us

    Hey could there be a new faction in the Alps to block roman expansion? You know like those crazies the Caturiges Warriors.

    If Mamertines are very very close then that means it must be Syrakousai, only thing left in Italy worthy of a faction! And someone else said it as well but without reaction so that must mean that there's even more reason to think it is in fact Syrakousai!

    And a faction no one has guessed as of yet? Mmmm, then its probably not an very obvious one. Lugii, they were close of becoming a faction in EB1 right?

    Yeah, it has a 2 exhaust system, TDI but sadly no ABS.

    Well maybe on a rainy(muddy) day it wouldn't be so observable so the lady can get unoticed.

    Yes, they were one of the contenders for the final faction slot that went to the Saba. They have been mentioned a couple of times by me, though. There was one candidate amongst the contenders that I'd never heard or seen mentioned on the forum, and I am guessing that's the one that oudysseos is referring to.

    I wouldn't put too much faith in Alin's comment, though. He's teasing us, so I doubt the obvious interpretation (Syracuse) is the correct one.

    Damn and I tried so hard to be believable and trusted, well at least the next preview will be released soon and that should tease you some more.

    Hmm… the Bruttians/Lucanians maybe? EB1 had them as an Eleutheroi.

    Their only settlement, Rhegion, is under the control of a collection of Roman deserters from Campania at gamestart. Dunno if that's a particularly solid basis for a whole 'nother faction.

    That is probably the only region where the name "Rebels" is justified.

    My first though too.

    I must say its plain mean the way they tease us.

    Of course like all the other EB tragics 'll be back for more.

    Hey maybe EB is just the front end of a Sadistic internet torture club? Give us some candy, and lure us in to be tormented...

    I dunno guys...all I can see in the Occultus pic is an unspeakable demon from the cold wastes of the ill-omened plateau Leng, where it is said no healthy men go.

    ...well occasionally a dreamer will find a path, whether riding a friendly yak or rumoured shantak-bird (for some whisper those hippcephalic monstrosities abide in that fell place) to that hideous plateau and prehistoric monastary where dwells the silken masked priest....

    ...ahem, what I meant to say is I don't really understand. What is this Leng of which you speak?

    On the other hand, the figure in the Occultus might be vaguely cone-shaped.

    But when I look too hard I get a sensation of immense uneasiness and familiarity...

    A more realistic guess would be an Arabian faction. A Baltic faction? An Iberian faction!

    Definitely one of those.

    Oh wait! Maybe a different Sarmatian faction (red and scales) and another Gallic faction (green)?

    Regardless, whatever an EB Member who isn't Foot says about new factions, it's just secrets and lies.

    Secrets and lies.
