    Wow, if Khelvan is really in Missouri, he got to whatever post that was and knocked it off at 6 in the stinkin a.m. Amazing!

    Ok, so clearly EB has planted false clues all over the place, when the real faction is IN FACT:





    The Senate! Muahahaha...

    No, that is actually late for me. I get up at 4:30am or so now. I work about a 60-hour week. That's why I am not very active anymore.

    The Sigani! A subset of the pre-Gaelic Briton Laigini in Ireland intermarried with continental Celts that would take up about a 100th of a province, have no units, no towns, no agents, and no family members. Or another equally tiny faction of no consequence. Or a faction with hats.

    Even though I don't think there's any doubt about an Arabian faction, I'd love to see the Suiones as a standalone faction (Okay, so I'm not very impartial here, since I'm from Sweden), At least create some regional-specific traits or buildings in the settlements around Scandinavia. If you guys think this is a good idea I can provide you with all the information you need. :D

    Lightbulb Re: What do you think faction X in 0.8 will be?

    I have just worked out what faction X will be:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    It will be Imperium Romani (Imperial Romans a.k.a. Roman Rebels) as I think loyalty is coming into 0.8 (in 1.5 loyalty can be added as a stat). The Ibex shield is actually a new banner for an old faction that has already been revealed.
    So everybody, what do you think of my hypothesis?

    I think it's wrong. EB already has it's own loyalty system (traits) and using the 1.5/BI loyalty can only be done by counter-factions, which I can't possibly imagine EB to do (since it takes up faction slots). Adding a Roman counter-faction would be a huge waste when you can instead use the slot for a playable faction that reduces some of the empty space on the map.

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    They have also said that Faction X will be mostly incomplete, whereas with the Rebels, they would be as complete as the Romans are.

    Maybe they are doing what the RTR-team are doing.

    Depending on what faction you choose, the x-faction will be a diffrent faction(a faction that a alot of influence on your faction).

    I really love this idea. And what's making it even better? All the x-factions (or counter-factions) are playable(most of them)! This give you up to around 40 diffrent faction to play as. It's insane!

    Sorry Reverend, we don't have the number of people it would take to research that many new factions and provide solid descriptions and details, much less the free unit slots to implement them.
