There are some nice, useful units there... could be an interesting faction to play.... And, historically, Sertorius still saw himself - and his destiny - as Roman. During the negotiations between Mithradates of Pontos (who were allies of the Sertorians..) Sertorius was very firm about what lands Mithradates had rights to. Mithradates was said to have wondered aloud how tough a negotiator Sertorius would have been had he actually had power in Rome. A possibility for a 'Hannibal' like invasion of Italy?? A great commander as well, showed 'that boy' and 'that old woman' (Pompey and Mettelus) a lesson or two....

Indeed Sertorius never forgot he was Roman. Nor did the tribes that followed him. They didn't want independance; they just wanted to be treated more fairly under a leader whom they could trust, not the corrupt Roman governors.

Sertorius was very firm in the negotiations with Mihritades, your definetly right about that. Even when his position was not that great, he still had the courage to demand a lot of things from Mithridates, and it was he who was dictating the terms of the Alliance. Too bad he got screwed over by Mithridates... The Pontic king was supposed to send ships and money to Sertorius in excange for Sertorius sending his officers to him. The transaction happened only in one way.

I really liked how Mithridates is supposed to tell Sertorius that they together could not be defeated : How can anyone withstand the mightiest of Kings, and the Greatest of generals? (something like that).

We will definetly try to make the Sertoriani as interesting as possible. Also, you must note that this is not the complete Sertoriani roster... Expect some more iberian units, + some Africans for the starting army.
