EB add new factions?

At rtr the found out how to make it so that the roman factions can be given differnt slots and not share fog of war.., Eb could switch rome with eygpt and then replace the roman factions with something else..

... and then the beta would take even longer to be released, not to mention that they are running out of model slots as it is.

Obviously, more factions would be nice, but even if it is possible, it would be too much work to make it worthwhile.

We are all about historical accuracy. If we see something that will be more accurate, we will look into implemeting it.

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.

O could care less if it takes longer, Eb has never been one to rush. RTR will suit me fine until EB comes out.

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

Not that I've heard of.

We might not use BI.

No.

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

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** · 07-19-2005, 09:44

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

**Sfwartir** · 07-27-2005, 05:30

..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.

Our final Roman configuration is something we are keeping as a surprise for the open beta, so I won't discuss any future plans (or lack thereof) until that time.
