How about a EB PBEM game?

[Ignoramus]

If you do one, can you allow players who don't have the mod to play a part in it? Like in The Will of the Senate?

Isnt sythia like ages away in a different direction. Id suggest putting something like north eastern steppe faction for saka ruake as sycthia is comepletely different.

I would like to see a Carthage game played, because I think they had a similar system to Rome as far as the Senate or republic goes so it can be similar to "Will of the Senate", with a lot of participation and everything else. Plus, it's a awesome faction and would be tons of fun to play. Although, I also wouldn't mind a Greece or Epirus game, I'm sure some cool things can be done to make the game as interesting as WotS.

My votes are as follows, in order:
1.) Carthage
2.) Epirus
3.) Greece

1. SPQR 7
2. Karthadastim 8
3. Arverni
4. Audei
5. Sweboz *5*
6. Casse
7. Iberia
8. Sauromatae
9. Hayasdan
10. Pontos
11. Pahlav
12. Arche Seleukia**4**
13. Ptolemaioi *****1*****
14. Baktria ***2***
15. Makedonia ***3***
16. Koinon Hellenon
17. Getae
18. Epeiros
19. Saka-Rauka -6-

as far as im concorned i dont think any other are worth playing in PBEM due to them being overly easy to stuff up or sometimes not much stuff happens in a lifetime of a king (koinon hellenon sometimes get stuck with greece and cant expand)

Ok, no need to try to vote in this thread - here's a separate thread with a proper poll:

Any EB team member want to comment on Saka-Rauka = Scythia translation?[1] The preview mentioned a couple of times that ancient writers sometimes referred to some Saka peoples as Skythians. No other translation suggested itself from the preview ("north eastern steppe faction" doesn't have a snappy ring to it).

[1]Please be gentle.

Scythians is fine, although Sakas would be more accurate. Scythians is based on the general greek term for steepe peoples while Sakas is based on the persian, which is closer as the langauges of the Saka people seem to have been part of the iranian family of languages.

I'd be interested in playing, I vote for Carthage or Baktria for countries.

[eadingas]

Saka Rauka is Scythians, but not Scythia... if you get the difference :)

I'm in too, if you will allow it. All that daunts me is writing up a little story, but I guess it would be worth it. :)
