Galatia, yet another case for a new faction part one (proposed introduction)

[Phalanx300]

I thought EB wasn't recreating history but making your own? Whether a faction after start date historically did or didn't expand shouldn't have to do anything with its inclusion.

My main complaint with this proposal (although it is a valiant effort) is the total lack of archaeological data.

yeah Galatians would be cool, but there are already quite a few factions in minor asia^^

As there are in Greece. Too bad that the most powerfull factions are in the same area. Though I gues it will look weird if almost all new factions are in the same area.

Then let the semi-nomadic community of of Gadzandahar deep in the Sahara desert be made playable as a faction. Throughout EB's timeframe, they did nothing but cyclically roam from oasis to oasis. But that doesn't matter; with my leadership, they will rule the world.

Funny :D....

Galatians still had some power but in history didn't focus on expanding. What matters is they still had some power. Just look at Casse, Saba or Koinen Hellenon or even Sweboz. They shouldn't be in either by this logic.

Well Casse aren't in the game anymore, some german tribes must be in the game, hopefully they'll include another one, maybe it is possible with the new government system to implement a kind of "migration and settling" period first and then an expanding one...
For the Koinon: Sparta went through an "hellenisation" process with Areus that allowed him to gain popularity and financial backing, than consider the "reforms/revolution" with Agis and Kleomenes...
I'm one of those people who would rather have a Spartan, Achean or Aetolian faction ^^
Unfortunately I don't know much about arab history :s

[Phalanx300]

Casse are completely remade into the Pritanoi, which is essentially the same. From the looks of it there will be an Lugii faction which are Celto-Germanic I think and the Belgae will probably make it in as well.

Not sure that proces was with Areus, he simply rebelled against the Macedonians(an war but considering Macedons power its more an rebellion). You're right about Agis and Kleomenes but I think they came way later then start of the game. I agree though, having an Spartan, achean or aetolian faction would probably be better.

About Areus I was referring to his propaganda with silver coins...

If there is even the slightest chance of the Belgae making it I would do everything in my power to help it happen. Up the Ambiani!!!

[Phalanx300]

I think EB team already decided on their selection, but seeing how powerfull the Belgae were I think its quite likely an tribe of them is in. Hoping for the Nervii.
