We've had this discussion like two hundred times here and over at the Total War Center. The team have always stated that Arabia and the Sabaean faction will remain. Some people would stop arguing by now. But why give up, when it is so nice to pester them with requests like "cut out teh Saba, they sucks" or "why is there no LS?!111", "can we has four Roman factions?", or "make Britain one province and scrap Casse/Germans/Romani/whatever"...
