Galatians?

[Calypze]

This question might have been asked before, but will the Galatians be added as a faction? I would love to play them, as they would be the only "barbaric" faction surrounded by Hellenistic states.

Hi Calypze,
Sorry, but probably not on the Rome: Total War engine - EB has already met the faction limit (21 factions including the rebels). It may turn up in EB2 for M2:TW however, the faction limit in M2:TW is 31 including rebels, so not all hope is lost! Hope this helps you, cheers!

Isn't hard coding just wonderful?

Wait a minute EB can create new factions without destroying the old?

EB 2 if based of M2TW can have up to 31 factions. But that is a long long way off.

No, unless you make multiple versions of the mod. Or switch files or something.

Ok, thank you for your answers. Gonna miss those Galatians though...

But will EB2, based on the M2TW engine, be set in the RTW timeframe and not in the M2TW timeframe?

Yes. The plan is to get a "jump start" through the ability to re-use a lot of existing content. But until we can modify units, nothing significant will really happen there.
