Faction Reveal 5: Arverni (Gaul)

[SalmonSoil]

I think the Germans might get the cut, they are not an unified power in any sort of the word, this is why Rome failed to take the areas, there was nothing to plant a flag in and say "We own this area".

If CA makes a Germanic faction it will probably be an important tribe surrounded by minor factions, like they are doing with the Iceni and Arverni. I really don't see why they would try make the Germans a "unified power".

I think the a German tribe will make it in not because of their importance but because of their map location. Without them its likely that Northern Europe would have no other playable faction, and thus not recieve much gameplay.

I'm almost certain Seleucids are the ones who aren't going to make the cut. Sure they were really powerful in 270BC, but the were on the decline. The Parthians were a rising star, which suits Total Wars gameplay mechanics much better.

I was so excited on the new faction, I even made a video about the Arverni faction reveal!

(Arverni part starts 0:42)
I believe its perfectly on topic, sorry for the jagged sound though...
Enjoy, so whats the next faction? Im afraid Germans (hopefully Seleukeia, Ptolemaioi, Ashkaniyyan ;) )...

Well, the Parthians didn't actually exist at this stage, they would have been the Parni, and hadn't settled in the region known as Parthia yet at the likely start date of the game. They were more a 'gleam in the history book's eye' than a rising star.

Rumor going around that the latest Brit edition of PC Gamer shows a playable German faction.

Not confirmed, nobody has pics, may just be internet noise.
