What are it going to be the final factions?
I've heard that BI will allow more playable faction slots. Can someone post the whole list?

no it will not.

Complete faction list is:
Rome (probably 4 factions though it has not been revealed how they will be divided) (Roma)
gauls (aedui)
germans (sweboz)
Iberians
Carthaginians (tsorim)
Britons (casse)
Macedonians (makedonia)
Allied Hellenes
Bactrians (Baktria)
Parthians (parni)
Sarmatians (sauromatae)
Pontus (pontos)
Seleucids (arche seleukia)
Ptolemeics (ptolemaoi)
Armenians
Thracians
Dacians
Rebels (eleutheroi)

I thought Thrace and Dacia were being made into 1 faction
I think that they ought to keep the Dacians (they became a unified kingdom in the second century BC) but get rid of the Thracians. Thracians is a term used for most of the independent tribes in northwestern Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and the little part of Turkey that is in Europe. They should replace the Thracians with the Illyrians. I was really disappointed by the fact CA didn't include an Illyrian faction. How can you fight the Illyrian Wars without Illyrians?

Illyirians and Epirotes ! these were kingdoms more important than all these tribes north of the empire . it is more interesting to play in the politics of Achaia and Macedonia with its several political entities (Achaeans , Aetolians , Lacedaemonians etc') than just fighting against tribes .

Epirotes would be a nice addition, but I don't think that they were very important after the Pyrrhic War. If the game started in 280 BC instead of 270 BC then they would definitely need Epirotes.

Caesar, I hope you aren't saying that the broken Greek city states are more important than the Celts and the Germanics, because they were extremely important.

Celts ? they took Rome in c. 385 bce , yes , they were important !Originally Posted by Steppe Merc
Germanics ? they took rome in 410 ce , "
But again , because of the damn limitation you can't divide them into their separated (many) tribes , so , politically and diplomatically it is less intriguing than the Hellenic world

Well thats why EB is making each barb faction a single tribe, though i wish britain was droped for the averni. Gaul wars would be very cool.Originally Posted by caesar44
gual wars would make the game 10x better, imo. but i think thrace should be replaced by the arverni; the casse are cool.![]()
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
I know i would like more greek cities states or leagues to play as. maybe even the Thebans with their sacred band :) i know thats before the rtw timeframe but it would be cool :)

you can use AOR like in RTR so most factions can have a lot more units

We want moshiach now!!
wel , for the 'barbarian lands' every Region woudl have it's own faction (tribes) AoR itself is mostly used to portrait soldiers that hav etheir own tribe, but cant be part of a faction due to limits.
only AoR units left would be teh mercs.
but this is all wishfull thinking. Hard coded will not be cracked. and AoR or whatever EB will call it is a great way to portrait many tribes/peoples
