Phew. I was honestly hesitant to click that button. I have seen enough Gaesatae "units" in the past week to be afraid to go anywhere on this forum.

I, too, was hesitant. I'm at work!

But it's ok, everybody!

My vote is for the Lugii!

Lugii seem to be very mysterious, what was their political organisation, or the military units they could field ?

My vote is for an Arabian faction. In my campaigns as Bactria, the Yuezi were nothing to worry about, in fact their territorries were less defended than those rebellous areas in India. Sabeans would fill the emptyness of Arabia and would be a cool faction to play.

An Arabian or Indian faction would be cool, although I really have no objections towards the Yuezhi either.

I think that an Indian faction would really stand out from the others because Buddhism is a very different world view than the western religions and I think that the Caste system would make for some interesting government and troop options.

In relation to the Yuehzi, I think the Eastern border of the map would also be less of an unrealistic boundary because the Indian factions did not suffer very much pressure from the Eastern front and we would not be ignoring the influence of other the Eastern factions like we must with the Yuezhi.

Pergamon, make it an emergent faction so that if the Seleucids fail to keep it under control it will emerge as an independent faction. IIRC they were quite influential. If people want to play them the EB can provide a save game (if that's possible) or someone can make a small mod that starts a little later but with Pergamon as a playable faction.
Alternatively, a second Iberian faction.

That's my
