So this is the faction selection presented by Gamegeek2;

--- Factions ---

Senatus Populusque Romanus (obviously)
Boii
Aedui
Arverni
Getai
Suebi
Lugiones
Ptolemaioi
Hasmoneans
Nabatu
Indo-Greeks
Indo-Saka
Pontus
Hayasdan
Parthia
Sauromatae
Yuezhi
Himyarites
Axum
Meroe
Eleutheroi

My added suggestions would be as mentioned earlier the Cantabri and the Sertoriani... So what do you think? Are they worth taking 2 factions out the ones Gamegeek2 proposed?

I suggest take Aedui out, and let arvernii rule gaul, so that way you can include United Iberians. Also take out Meroe and make way for a roman shadow faction, because you need to represent the rise of the empire.

I would also strongly recommend to take out Axum and put the Massyli (Numidians) there instead.

Saba roster would need significant changes. For example, their nobles and bodyguards should have bows, not javelins. AtB intends to fix this, you can use our models for them and the nabatu.

nah, you are the one who initiate it, you must do the job spearheading the work....

BTW, did you need some unexpert scripter

Haha... What kind of a question is this? Of course we do! Ok, if i need to lead this (for now, i will gladly allow it to another, after all, we are still a republic XD) I will have to know what people can offer....

What we need;
- Someone who can alter the map; we will change some settlement names, and perhaps change a few cities, in order for it to be more 80BC-ish...
- A scripter and coder - We can use many things from EB here, but it would be nice to do some mini-missions like in EB
- Skinners
- Modelers
- Researchers (here i can volounter myself, especially for Rome, the Sertoriani, and even the Kingdom of Pontus)
- ? I dunno... It's a bit late... perhaps i forgot something...

How I would tackle this

First thing's first...
I need to know how many people are willing to do work on this submod,
then a vote about the factions would occure; it seems were still undecided a bit... 15 or so factions are pretty much decided, but the rest could be debated
Then, the work would be divided... What anyone could do, than we would find an internal forum or so, where we could share the progress and problems...

So... should we get started? (if you know anyone who would be perhaps willing to help, send him a PM or sth

)

did you forgot CW offering his mapping skillz.... you should got some notes of that...

maybe you should start listing all the crews for a good reason...

**Gonras** · 06-26-2010, 13:28

hello, just signed in to this freaking mod. Playing EB since 2008 and now i see my chance to help.
Though I am not able to programm or model anything, I might be able to help you in historical terms.
Ever thought about including the jewish revolt in about 70 AC?

I am also quite fond in germanic history and also in weapon and warfare of that time. Can you make use of me?
If not, it wouldn't be bad either. Was just asking :)

**anubis88** · 06-26-2010, 15:59

Hi Gonras,

i'm glad you offer your help, however, since your a new member, it would be nice if you could give a bit of a background; like how old are you, are you just someone who reads about history every now and then, or do you have a lot of knowledge, a big library nearby, you have done some papers or work in the field of history, etc..

If you are able to provide interesting info, that would be precise, your help could prove very valuable.

As for the Jewish revolt i'll have to say NO. We won't have any scripted revolts (at least not those who weren't inevitable by 80 BC), and we might have Judea as a faction from day 1, so keep your fingers crossed :)
