i would say: make the starting date 260-270. and make Eprius+phyrrus..

They had a pretty strong naval/pirate influence. Rome fought a couple of wars with them in the 230's and 220's BC. Pyrrhus would be 280's and 270's BC, not 260's.

your abolsuty right.
i'm sorry..i messed up counting the years.. ten years before 270 is 280..whoopsie..
I'd rather have eprius in stead of Illirya..or just tharce/dacia..everything is fine.

maybe one of teh Hard-coded-slots can be used for a slave-faction of rome. Like the etruscans or samnites.. on any allie of rome in the penisuela..

To be honest, I think the EB team decided definitively what they would and wouldn't be including a long time ago... Feel free to speculate, but I don't think your ideas will be acted upon, the time for suggestions is over.

Since Illyria was mentioned, I'll reiterate Urnamma's usual point; it will not be in. Even if we could add more factions, we probably would not add Illyria; they were too disunified, and accomplished nothing. There are plenty of more unified small factions that could be added that would provide a realistically difficult challenge to conquer anything, but also had more cohesive unity to make it feesably possible. We considered quite a lot of factions, many of which that would have only one or two provinces, but were unified peoples, and so could reasonably expand.

oehh. I'm inetrested. wich 'factions' didn't make it?
mauryans, numdia, illiria, and probably a shit load of "barbarians"

there are no Illirains, numidians and mauryans and I don't think it's possible to name every tribe, kingdom, citystate,... that didn't make it into the game.
