I was just wondering if, after release, EB might consider making a few variations on their campaign to suit individual tastes and so on.
For example, I would much rather play a campaign but both the Aedui and the Arvenii than with Pontus- who, fascinating as their emergence is, I consider rather pointless as a faction- another phalanx based anatolian successor state- I mean I'm sure you've made them a unique and diverse faction with some beautiful units, I just a great civil war between the great gaulish confederacies is more interesting and more exciting and important for ancient history.
HOWEVER, I'm willing to bet money that there are people out there who would scream and shout at me that in fact I'm wrong, there are too many barbarians, and they're only downloading it so they can play as Pontus which is their favourite faction in the whole world etcetc.
Soo, would you consider making (or at least endorsing) a few custom variations, for example maybe another where Corinth and Athens are seperate factions for the Greek-lovers out there- or a reemerged scythian faction and the bosporans for those who love the steppe tribe kingdoms?
I'm sure other people will do the things I'm talking about, and alter EB, but I'm afraid without the EB logo (do you have a logo yet?) I just won't be confident that it's historically accurate (which has started to bug me more now than it used to back when I bought Rome.)
P.S, I'm not talking about new units, I imagine that given the trouble you've gone to to create really accurate rebel units, you wouldn't have to create new ones, which *might* make it multiplayer compatible
