New factions?

[paullus]

Geala, a Nubian kingdom and its armies aren't beyond what we can conceive, there are a number of sources that would help us create units and some semblance of institutions, but it would be a rather weak and generic military, and a generally weak faction, politically. You shouldn't anticipate a Nubian faction. If we had 40, it'd have a decent shot.

i think the politically weak factions are the absolute most fun to play, and are the best for what EB is replicating. Everyone can take over 'the world' as SPQR, or Asia Minor as Pontus, or Greece as Makedonia, but to break out with Saby'n, Casse, Koinon Hellenon or even post Pyrrhus and Alexandros Epirus is very fun.

Or if we had more than 7 culture slots we'd have Nubians and Mauryans!

Have the team announced if they are altering the assigned cultures? I'm guessing its a huge ask as there musty be a ton of work involved, but i have always wondered if there's a case for condensing east and west Greek cultures.
