Sure, those mods will be great if made. Those timeframes were all considered. My first wish was to create an Roman Imperial mod, starting with Augustus, but there wasn't much support for that. But, with the starting date of 80bc and a few reforms planned, i'll get the imperials i wanted anyways

There will be actually 3 Roman factions; SPQR, SPQR "rebels" and Sertorius; but the Sertoriani will be more of a combo-faction with the Iberians. So yeah, plenty of Romans to go around

Not to mention the Ptolemaic Gabiani and the many factional Roman 'copies' :-)

Why were the Casse, Sauromatae and Saka removed in favour of the Nabateans and Jews. And what of the Yeuzhi? Nice faction previews btw, excellent work all round.

I will take the liberty to try and answer this without inside knowledge. The list of revealed factions above contains only 15 factions, which means there are still several slots to fill. The Saka are mentioned in Question 4 (as Indo-Saka). I have no doubt that the Yuezhi will be in, because at this time they held Baktria firmly in their grasp and would be the perfect nemesis for the aforementioned Indo-Saka - it would be strange if not.
Furthermore would in my opinion the impact of factions in Britannia and Skythia in EBNOM's timeframe potentially be much greater than when going from the start of EB, so I'm confident that two of the undisclosed slots are occupied to that purpose.

Feel free to correct me if I'm barking up the wrong tree. :-)

I will only mention that this comment is sorely mistaken. Anything else would ruin the fun!
