Faction List for EB2?

[Ludens]

I'm sooo lost on this more powerful candidates... There is few more then you can offer to add more variety to the game... Are we not supposed to balance that Germanic tribe??? YES!!!

Err... No. And even if "we" did, then it doesn't necesarily require a faction to to do so. You can also beef up the Eleutheroi or weaken the Sweboz. And even if you do need a faction, then it doesn't have to be the Scandinavians. There is several major tribes closer by and with a greater impact on history. So why the Scandinavians and not, for example, the Cimbri or the Noricenes?

And to say there are better candidates is a little too much, What if the Scandinavian tribes took off, and united early, what if they become a pro dominate terror in the north a little faster,

That's three "what if's". I think you have proven my point: the Scandinavians failed several requirements required to become an empire. That could have changed, but it's unlikely, and certainly in 272 B.C. they were in no position to start an empire.

So in logical extreme, like someones pointed out early; there are few better ones to choose.

I already mentioned the Cimbri and the Noricenes, but one could also think of the Belgae and the Bastarnoz (if they won't be included, alas, they still were a power in their own right). And this is just the same area. So again, why should a faction be included that needs to be unified and strenghtened first before being capable of forming an empire?
