New factions?

**Jolt** · 06-20-2008, 00:32

My Nine (Pergamsus is already in) factions for the game:

1. BARTIX!!1one YAY!1!eleven1 (Numidians/Massylia)
2. Nabateaeaaeaeaeaea
3. Instead of putting yet another faction in the erasable British Islands, I'd stick with the Belgae.
4. Scythians
5. Galatia would be awesome
6. Celtiberians/Arevaci
7. Western Greeks/Massilia
8. *Insert Random German Tribe here*
9. Meroe (Why not put it? It'd halt the Ptolomaics from blitzing the Seleucids 75% of the time!)

jolt, great picks. i'm pushing hard for massilia and meroe myself, and I can guarantee that *Random German Tribe,* aka the "Rigotes" is already in.

Rigotes?

My dream ten would be;

1. Kingdom of Pergamon
2. Kingdom of Syrakousai - Sicily is no fun without a second faction starting on the island!
3. Cisalpine Gauls (Boii & Insubres) - keep those Romans busy!
4. The Kingdom of Masaesyles (i.e. Siga, Numidia)
5. The Kingdom of Turdetania (in southern Spain, Baetis/Guadalquivir valley; you need an Iberian faction)
6. The Arevaci (i.e. Numantia - you need a Celtiberian faction)
7. The Galatians
8. The Dardanians (these tough Thraco-Illyrian people were a constant menace to Macedonia during the 4th & 3rd centuries BC, and they would be a good addition to the Balkans)
9. The Pharaonic Kingdom of Meroe - this faction in the upper Nile/Nubia was at its peak in the 3rd century BC and gave Ptolemaic Egypt a lot of trouble! Lets make the Ptolemies work for a living!
10. Kingdom of Sparta; The existing "Koinon Hellenion" faction needs to be dismantled; the poleis of Sparta and Athens were allies in 272 BC, but this was not typical. Instead, have a seperate Kingdom of Sparta and another Greek faction - maybe Aetolian League, Rhodos or even the Kingdom of Bosporos.

Just a thought.

Hunh, I didn't know people payed enough attention to me to warrant someone making a fake account.

The reason why Koinon Hellenon unfortunately exists is because of the limit of Faction Slots. The only way I'd still Koinon Hellenon broken up and split into numerous factions would be when they faction slots exceeded somewhere around this number.

I am sorry, but in truth; for the Spartans to become a faction the faction limit would have to be roughly equal to aleph-nought; and the province limit needs to be about c.

No, that's not fair. Everyone knows you are an ardent supporter of the 'Roman Rebels'.

you lie!!

just kidding.
anyways, I think a second arabian faction is nice-Saba is kinda boring at the begining really(only eleutheroi). and it isn't right that they always end up with the peninsula in their hands
I doubt its coming, but I just figured...
