Faction List for EB2?

**Geoffrey S** · 08-11-2007, 11:45

Personally I'd be interested in seeing the Koinon made a more involving experience. Right now it seems too tight and solid, detracting from the differences between members. It would be interesting to have one city playable with the others being gained (or lost) through missions, but I guess that would require a lot of scripting.

Personal faves for new factions? Syracuse, a Numidian kingdom, Pergamon, Bosporan Greeks, Massiliotes (though I guess they're unlikely but I like their Greek-Gallic thing), a Belgic tribe, another Germanic tribe (either Lugii or Basternae would be great), and Goidils. Some Celtiberians and Illyrians would be nice, too, but I don't know if they'd be enough unified.

But when did they attack Rome?

They (Cimbri & Teutones) triggered the Marian reforms. The war took place between 113BC - 101BC

Yes, two crushing defeats for the Romans (Noreia 113 and Arausio 105).

And that is 160 years after the start date.

What does that sentence mean? It's 159 years after the start date and 127 years before the end date. Or, in other words, it's right in the middle of EB's timeframe.

The Koinon will stay as it is.
However we will look into making it harder to be them if you are successful and begin expanding out of Greece to represent the members thinking it's safe enough for them to leave the Koinon.
