Historical Faction Members

[Quirinus]

Whoa...... it would be cool to encounter Mithradates for Pontus or something.

I encountered Gaius Octavius too, when I was playing the Carthagenians. Corrupt bastard, though, I bribed him and promptly sent him to spearhead the invasion of Italy. ~:D

Oh, and I've encountered Vercingatorix once, I think, as a captain for Gaul.

Antiochus, the faction leader for the Seleucids, was a real person though-- became king about 11 years before the start of the game at the assassination of his father, the eponymous Seleucus.

I've actually run into Vercingetorix as a captain several times,but it's possible it could just be a lowly soldier bearing the name. The name Alexander is common to the Hellenic factions,after all. And I actually had the same problem with Octavius as you,but I edited his traits to make him Augustus Pre-born!

[Paradox]

I remember running into Pyrrhus against the Seleucids, I don't think he was the faction leader though.
