    Could we have Eleutheroi and Rebels separate in EB2, so people (like me :D) don't confuse the two?

    i.e. Eleutheroi control settlements not owned by any other faction and represent minor kingdoms, tribes etc. and can have their own, normal (but perhaps small) navies. Rebels will take a city when it revolts, be non-aggressive (unlike Eleutheroi), and spawn marauding armies/pirate fleets. Eleutheroi can attack Rebels, everyone is at war with both all the time, and neither faction is listed in the Diplomacy thing.

    Sound good?

    That is impossible. The slave faction in RTW is unique, and we wouldn't be able to make to versions of it. There is no possibility of doing as you propose. Even if we were, it is highly unlikely we would. It would mean sacrificing a faction slot, which we would rather spend on a proper faction. I don't find it confusing it all, as regards the eleutheroi. A rebellion in EB is not led by a load of rebels, but by the independent elements within a province who wish to throw of foreign rule and rule themselves. They are as much eleutheroi as starting eleutheroi cities.

    I have a very modest wish:

    A faction in nowadays Ireland, I like that area.

    And please let them go barefoot!!
    The queen commands and we'll obey
    Over the Hills and far away.
    (perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)

    Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
    Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)

    I'd be quite surprised if the Goidilic tribes weren't to make it in, so you may get your wish.
