3 New Factions for v0.8

**Rhyfelwyr** · 11-19-2006, 23:31

I heard three factions from v0.74 were being replaced in v.08

So, who are these new factions, and who's being replaced?

The Yuezhi are removed, instead EB is implementing another steppe faction, the Saka Rauka (sp)
The senate slot is being used for another faction, this wasn't possible earlier. I don't think the new faction has been revealed yet, but I could be wrong.
There will be no Iberian faction in 0.8, instead a single Iberian tribe called the Lusotannan.

That's how I understand it, anyway.

So the senate slot faction is being kept a mystery for the moment?

You are correct on all counts Kralizec.

I doubt we preview the other before the 0.8 release. It's just not got enough done compared to this one. Aymar just went on an incredible tear and suddenly this faction's unit side was too good not to preview. The other will be in 0.8, but just not as ready. By 0.9 or 1.0, you'll probably get a more full "preview" of it, as their best units get more complete, but you'll know who they are by then.
