Max number of factions

[khelvan]

It doesn't act like a new faction, it acts like part of Gaul, because that is exactly what it is. It is just spread across a larger area.

Yes it does , how ? Because of the distance between Galia and Asia minor . It the Celts are at war with the "Iberians" , it got nothing with the Galatians .

It is still the same faction, benefitting from both areas' trade, income, and so on and so forth. It absolutely does not, in any way, act like a separate faction. It acts like the same faction with a province separated by land.

Not a mini-faction, not a semi-faction, the exact same faction.

We could give the Casse a province in Arabia, but that would not mean we now have a Sabaean faction. We just have a Casse faction with provinces in two different areas of the world.

No , because the Casse are Britons not Arabs !!! but Celts are Celts , in Galia and in Asia minor .

Celts are Celts? Is that like Greeks are Greeks? With this rationale, all of the British Isles, most of Western Europe including northern Iberia, bits of Eastern Europe, and bits of Asia Minor would all be under the same faction. Why stop with Galatia? Make the entire culture one faction, since people of the same culture are all the same, right?

In fact, why don't we just merge the Seleucids, Egypt, Greece, and the other Hellenic factions? I mean if people of the same culture are all the same, we might as well not split up the factions, right? Let's reunite Alexander's empire, at the very least, since they share the same culture.

This is not argument to absurdity. "Celts" are not "Celts" any more than "Greeks" are "Greeks," literally. "Celts" share culture, they are not a united people, any more than "Greeks" are, or people of the "Hellenic" culture; we would never do this (and we make no comment on any other mod's choice in this respect, but rather our own reasoning) because giving Galatia to Gaul is exactly equivalent to giving the Seleucid empire to the control of Macedonia. Sharing cultures, one nation having been borne of another's conquest and migration, but no longer under their control, with their own leadership, aims, goals, and so on and so forth. The Galatians were as independent and removed from the Gauls as the Seleucids were from the Macedonians.

Sorry, but this makes absolutely, utterly no sense for EB.

Yes, the Senate might have to remain, but how do you know whether or not there will be three roman family factions?

I seriously doubt they would leave 3 family factions. Look at RTR 6.0. They got rid of all of 'em. And many of the guys from RTR also work with EB.

RTR is moving to add new factions with 7.0, they've already stated this. However, "many of the guys from RTR" do not work with EB. We have three ex-RTR members, myself, Simetrical, and Stuie (though he's inactive). There are no current RTR members on our team. We're completely separate mods.

We've already stated that there will be only one Roman faction, and even when we were debating what to do with the Roman factions, three patrician families were never part of that debate.
