Added in the Gallic factions.

The Numidia province has been split in two, the Massylians only hold the Eastern half.

I'll throw out a bone: The Aeduoi and Aruernoi provinces no longer touch.

Interesting. I'm curious to know why.

Basically it was to, hopefully, allow them some breathing room to expand a bit before having to share borders. Don't get me wrong though - I know that they'll eventually touch and start fighting and probably have some stalemate for a long time as in EB1. However beginning the game without being next to each other is overall more desirable than keeping the EB1 borders.

So Gaulish players should rejoice that they have some better options when they start the game this time than immediate war with the other Gauls.

Thank you for the tidbits!

We love to get ahold of any information we can. I'm glad to know they'll be separated. I assume then, that they will not begin the game at war with each other, unlike in EB1 (if I remember correctly)?

herm only way that bibactre and gergovia regions will be separated is if you place a few stone forts around or provinces are rearranged i think (or is there viennos and avaricus in beteween ?? )

I would imagine a Belgic faction would be a confederacy of sorts. To my mind there are three strong candidates for a Belgic faction; 1. The Suessiones who Caesar informs us controlled areas of Gaul and Britain in years preceding the Gallic wars. 2. The Bellovaci who by the 1st Century BC were the most powerful of the Belgae (my money is on them). 3. The Atrebates as they are the only Belgic tribe we know for certain migrated to Britain.

I was even thinking that a Volcae, Danubian group could be a good canditate, given that the returning group from the Balkan expedition origin is accepted for the Belgae...
