EB add new factions?

[alman7272]

Not that I've heard of.

[Steppe Merc]

well you could just implement the extra factions into the mod for when BI comes out. That should give a bit more leeway with modding anyway.

We might not use BI.

didnt EB use this idea and made the roman factions seleucid/parthia/bactria?

No.

[Big_John]

No.

weeelllll... since you're in an answering mood..

are the roman family slots (minus the senate) being used for 3 non-roman factions? is rome going to be unified?

[pezhetairoi]

mmm, I think that's one of the surprises they're keeping in store, so stop asking. =) They won't tell us, so they won't tell you either. :-D

Sorry, our faction choices have been set for the open beta for months, and most likely will not be changed. The Roman setup is something we are saving as part of the release.

[Meneldil]

But are you planning to use the 2 roman slots for other 'civilised' factions (Samnites, Syracuse, Bosphorean Kingdom, etc) for a further version ?

[Sfwartir]

..or the Mauryan Empire (hooray)? That would be something

Edit: Adding the Mauryans might of course make it a bit crowded in the far east, but with the unit potential..aaah.
