The Sicels were key players in Pyrrhus' Sicilian Wars with Carthage. Their loyalties (along with some greek poleis) help determined whether he was eventually successful or not which of course he wasn't.

As mad as the EBII team has shown itself in the past do you really think they would stick a Celtic archaeologist onto the task of developing a Greek faction like Syracuse? (though just imagine the unit roster!). I have also been writing the words "Epona" "Lugus" "Pritanoi" "Elephants" "Phoenicians" and "Uenetoi" alot lately.

Crazy like a fox perhaps to stick you on Syracuse?
Well maybe you mean the Veneti though they aren't truly Celtic peoples either AFAIK (the ones in the Po basin at least). Perhaps the Insubres or the Italic Boii though two Boii factions would be confusing. And what would those Gallic factions have to do with Sicily? Ligurians perhaps? Gah this is frustrating.

I think he's speaking of those in Brittany...
Seems like a faction living near the Atlantic Coast, or having to do with the tin trade routes...
Kantabroi perhaps? I'd be kinda amazed, if they made it as a faction though :P
I hope it's something else XD

Yet he speaks of knowing Italian and not being familiar with Spanish might doom any research into the Cantabroi or other Northern Iberian peoples. He also spoke of the faction being a thorn in the side of two of the most popular EB factions, something which had made me think Syracuse along with his Sicily hint. The plot thickens.

You guys like Pontos and the Arche Seleukia don't you?
Just posted the text I was working on all day. Just a few more things to finalise and we shall have a faction preview. Time to hit my mate's flat with a bottle of vodka and the finest/worst collection of Hair Metal since MTV started airing Nirvana videos.
EDIT: Also, Sir Robinfor the cray like a fox comment.

I'm still quite sure it has to do with the Galatians. We'll see.
