I'll play too.

Let us guess here... Occultus is a secret.

So we have a surprise faction coming...

This is EB, so the focus was originally on barbarian tribes...


What barbarian civilizations are there that are not yet covered...

The gaulish culture... done.

The british beginnings... done.

The german tribes... good.

The Iberians... okaaaayyyy...


Well, that leaves one major region,

Eastern Europe... But we already have knowledge of thrace, illyria, dacia, et al... None of these would be a surprise. Instead it would be "oh, thats what they chose". Which is fine of course...

And then there is the ever-so-slim possibility of a nordic tribe...

Are there many danes, swedes, fins, nowegians, or the like in EB? Does anyone know? Could it be a distant pre-pre-pre-viking tribe? That would be pretty damn cool. Unfortunatley, there is very little evidence of culture because of poor organic preservation (or so I have read).

Its not like we hear anything about them until, like, 800 AD. They didn't conquer dick, and no one conquered them. Quite sedate, actually.

BUT I CAN HOPE!!!
