    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)

    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.

    Then could you tell me how you plan to organize the four " roman" factions?

    And just to add on to all your stuff about not enough Slots and more important fractions, in RTW, Numidia is useless anyway.

    as khelvan has said, they are keeping that a secret until the open beta.

    In any case, Numidia would be one of the last factions we added, even if we had more slots to fill. We can more easily simulate her involvement in world affairs as rebels/unique units than as a faction. A faction would have her creating ahistorical relationships and boundaries.

    Is irrelevant. Game balance comes after history.

    Carthage was never balanced by Numidia. Numidia was a bump in the road for Carthage. The balance, as it should be, is provided by factions such as Ptolemaic Egypt and Rome.
