Hey Bo Diddley! (funky Bo Diddley bit on guitar inserted here)
From my limited knowledge, I believe that a lot of different people mixed all over the world, so I think that it would make sense that at least some Celts mixed with the Germans as they were moving around Gaul.

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

Good to know there are Bo Diddley connoisseurs in the EB community
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
I'd add Norvegia Superior. The unit list contains a total of two units:
1)"Disturbingly Hairy Berserkir"
*May charge without orders
*Routs in a split second for no reason whatsoever
2)"Angry Wives of Disturbingly Hairy Berserkirs"
*Will charge their husbands without orders
*Impetuous
*Scare Husbands
The best about this faction is that it indeed would be realistic.

you forgot the disturbinly ahiry bersekir kid.
charges anything without orders
refuses to do anything but scream: "leave me alone", "or I want candy"
randomly shouts "i hate you dad" or "i hate you mon"
dont get me started about the Disturbingly hayr Berserkir teenage doughter :'D
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
Yeah, forgot about both of those units. The "Disturbingly Hairy Berserkir Teenage Daughter" unit is perhaps the worst of them, with the horrifying abilities of:
*Scares father's wallet
*Randomly dates centurion hunks
*May run amok during 'period' (ability shared with Angry Wife unit)
*Screeching eliminates father's morale (ability shared with Angry Wife unit)
Not to mention the mere c o s t of the unit...we're talking about serious upkeep here!

In no particular order:
Pergamon
Illyria
Kyrene
Meroe
Nabataia
Numidia
Some Indian grouping
Another division of Keltic tribes
Another division of Germanic tribes
Galatia
Noricum
Another division of Saka tribes
"Western Greeks" (Syrakousai, Tarenton, Massilia, etc.)
(and in the never gonna happen category:)
a latent Iranian grouping
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
Do you mean the 'Disturbingly skinny screeching teen' armed with gossip cell phone? It has a special defence bonus against WC besieging parents. So scary. Fortunately, it has a very expensive maintenance cost -and needs to be reskinned every day.
Meanwhile, here in Spain...

Dux Corvanus,

Seen "jeremy Clarckson meets the neighbourd" he want to keen on spain
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
I think it could be interseting if nations, such as greeks or germans had several sub-factions, each representing a city-state/tribe. That could bring out alot of small factions that you can have fun playing with.
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
If the diplomacy engine were more complicated then tribes within confederations could be better represented, but as is it isn't easy to do.
If there were "conferacy", "league" and "vassal" mechanisms that could be used to form international armies it could be done, but Total War has never been very focused on diplomacy.
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
I think if there was no real limit of factions in RTW and EB included "all" states, tribes or whatever it would take ages to compute the next turn in RTW...

Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
Nah, I don't think so, since most of these factions would be tiny 1-2 province ones in the beginning, and AI never spends much time on them, and after a while most of the little ones would be gone gobbled up by their faster and more active neighbours, so it would even out. The most always AI thinks about are the big ones, like Seleucids or Slaves.
I'm still not here
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
No deal. No, no.Dux Corvanus,
Your weekend is clearly to long.
But can we swap places, you move to the netherlands and I to spain.
Come here. You're welcome. (Bring some chicks!)
Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
It all depends on how you program the game I suppose. Computers nowadays (even low-end ones) are pretty good at doing a lot of brute calculations. Many games made by Slitherine have scores of factions and the turns take less time to compute than RTW.I think if there was no real limit of factions in RTW and EB included "all" states, tribes or whatever it would take ages to compute the next turn in RTW...

Re: Which faction do you want to ad to EB if there was no faction limit?
Agree, How the game is programmed does mater.
Example like Morrowind (very good game) frame rate is not very high (20FPS) on my pc compared with Farcry because of the way the games are programmed.
Morrowind renders 3d graphics in a very inefficient way because of the engine that is used.
Farcry looks better and runs faster on my 1,8 Ghz p4 :embarrassed: than Morrowind...
I hope morrowind's successor does a better job at this.
PS: Dux Corvanus
Thank for your invitation, I will take it under consideration
