Missing Numidia

[caesar44]

Caesar, that quote explains exactly why it won't be a faction:

Numidia was controlled by Carthage at the beggining of the game.

Steppe , "West of Carthage"

[caesar44]

This choice was already made; I wish we'd stop coming back to it every so often. There is no Numidia in EB. That's it. That probably sounds a lot more harsh than I intend, but, there simply isn't. We decided on it long ago, and it's not being changed. It took us a long time to come to our faction decisions; they weren't knee-jerk reactions, we examined a lot of things before deciding what we should use.

I know , said it , but you know , this is a forum

Many people were found across large areas. By itself this does not make for a very convincing faction addition.

[Xanthippus of Sparta]

What leader took the Numidians to new heights, and attempted to build a nation? Which areas did he conquer? Which peoples did he subject, or add to his rule?

The same questions could just as easily be asked about the Britons.


....If the timeline of EB is the same as RTW.

We have evidence the Casse attempted to build a nation, at the very least, and were not subjugated until later. Throughout the timeline the Casse became assimilators. That cannot be said for Numidia.
