New factions?

[Ludens]

Celtiberians/Numantia - Competition for Lusitannan. Also a major tribe.

Helvetii - An Alp faction, quite a major tribe, already alot of alpine units

It's a good list. However, IIRC the Helvetii where part of the Boii confederacy. The Celtiberians won't be included as a group, as they weren't a single tribe. However, we will probably see them in the form of the Arevacii (the Numantines).

Wha! Why not? Aren't they historically accurate?

That's currently being argued by lobf and Elmactios, but I am not sure what the team's stance is. Recruitment for the two heaviest Goidelic units (the hammermen and the imitation dosidataskeli) has been disabled, but this does not necessarily mean they will all be scrapped in EB2.

Helvettii were part of the Boii? That's interesting. It seems that we will definetly see the Boii in the game then. They're going to have a really interesting unit selection: Alpine, gallic, eastern celtic, maybe even some thracian.
