Numida wasn't nearly as important as Baktria, which is why it was removed.
Also all of it's important history was near the end of the game. During most of the time period, it was controlled mainly by Carthage, and wasn't a big player at all.

Re: Missing Numidia
I wasn't aware of that the "faction slots" for the Roman factions had to be allied. This of course makes my suggestions wishful thinking. Anyways -
My suggestion:
1. S.P.Q.R
2. "The Rest of the Romans"
3. The Mauryan Empire (in India)
4. Pergamon, Illyria, Masilia or the Samnites (can't decide, each would be interesting in their own way)

Re: Missing Numidia
Instead of playing identical roman factions it would be more fun playing Rome and it's client states or to keep a nice civil war....... Rome, two roman political factions and a client state, won't you agree? And the first client state of Rome was Numidia.

Re: Missing Numidia
But not at 270 BC. It's silly to assume that Rome will win, much less aquire any client states when you are playing as a different faction.

Re: Missing Numidia
Rome won it's battles - our existence as we are proves it. The roman maniple was a winner design. When two equal roman factions wage war on eachother wins the faction with most provinces and armies. The roman fammilies ware equally matched.
A roman movie could star - The People of Rome
- The Optimati Gentry
- The Populares dictators
- The Opportunistic ally that tries to pick the scraps ( Numidia)

Re: Missing Numidia
Cronos, the point is is that Rome in game will not always follow the same path, if it even survives, as in real life. Numidia could stay under control of Carthage, there is nothing saying that they will necassarily rebel and join the Romans. Rome could get conquered by Gaul, or by the Greeks, or whatever.
Besides, we have all of our factions done, and we are unlikely to change any of the set up.

Re: Missing Numidia
Then could you tell me how you plan to organize the four " roman" factions?
