    I think that more because most people don't know what everything means....


    I mean the Belgae got a lot of votes in the other tread but here you just put a part of the Belgae, the Nervii and it gets a few votes.

    Probably less people know the Nervii than the Belgae. And some probably oppose the idea of using the Nervii to represent them.

    I can't seem to find a way to edit the poll options otherwise I would have put a short description after each one to explain them a bit better

    The Bosporan Kingdom and Syracuse are two I would be pretty shocked to see not included, because of their prominence and interesting conflicts they would create on the map (especially with Syracuse providing an interesting opponent for Rome and Carthage). I also went with the Nervii, Galatians, Nabataeans, Boii, Aquitani, and Massalians. Although I really think a Baltic tribe is just as necessary for the map as the first two factions I mentioned.

    Well the only way I knew the Nervii were a part of the Belgae was because of some Belgae units unit cards.

    And the Belgae should definately be in as a whole! We can then as easilly devide up the Sweboz, Arverni and Adui as well!

    Because the belgae were not divided at all, no they even were a federation!

    Err...

    No.

    Hmm...

    Well, Moros voted for Aquitanians/Vascones, Brigantes, Massalia, Syracuse, Boii, Kappadoika, Skordiskoi, and Qataban.... 3 more than the "correct" 5.

    I thought I was onto something...

    Well, bobbin said to vote for what you think to be in , that does not mean it is actually in. Moros may not be happy with some of the new factions.

    Oh and, Martelus voted for Bartix...

    Exclamation Re: Possible Factions

    I'm very surprised that Helveti have such a low rate and some city states are above them, because helveti played a major role in that region, they even invade Gaul...

    Just an idea, but did anyone think of the kingdom of Aksum?
    It might be an interesting african faction and a possible counterweight to
    the yellow grinder.

    People did think of that. But the EB Team has already announced no Axum/Meroe because of lack of culture slots and lack of evidence w.r.t. actual military prowess. (That is the unit roster wouldn't be worth the name.)

    Is there any chance Érainn will be in there? I would love to see them in EBII.

    Considering that there's barely any historical evidence, I seriously doubt that. I believe we're merely restricted to Archeological evidence, which makes it possible to concept units/regionals. But a whole faction, looks pretty hard to me. Also I don't think there is any evidence for a large leading tribe, confederation,...

    One thing that I've found interesting is the popularity of Syracuse, its the second most popular choice even though its highly unlikley to be a faction(i know there are people who think otherwise but i'm just going on what various team member have said over time)

    Moros mentions that five of the factions in the poll are in EBII, my guess these would be the Arevaci, Boii, Bosporan Kingdom, Kingdom of Kartli and the Massaesylians.

    I created this when i was drunk and now i'm improving it while I'm drunk.

    Put up descriptions of each choice in the OP if anyone doesnt know what they are.
