New factions?

[Foot]

We've chosen nine. But a lot of the people have just been guessing in this thread, but where people post extensive reasons for a faction ("I really like faction x" or "there is space in region y" are not reasons we'll listen to) we will take that on board. But at the moment we are holding at nine and are happy with our choices so only a major shakeup will find them changing.

9? really? very nice Any idea what those are, or will it just be a waste of breath asking when you reply with something obvious like "they exist at 272 BC and be in the EB2 map"

Well I know. But we're not telling you now. They will be released much in the same way as Pergamon was, as a preview of the faction. Was that not obvious. Its how things are done around here. Generally, as modders, the only thing that allows us to sleep at night is playing on the nerves of the fans.

I can tell you that at least one of the unrevealed factions controls at least one of the current provinces on the EB map at the beginning of 272BC. Also the next faction we will reveal has a name beginning with a letter of the alphabet.

We will preview our chosen factions when we are ready to do so and not before.

The successor of Moses is known. His name is Prophet Foot.

However, I hope you will show us in the next stele a faction that isn't obvious.
For instance, just in case, if you have decided to add Numidia, it wouldn't be a surprise to reveal them, after so many months I'd prefer to see, dunno, Illyrians or Arveaci or Boii or Bartix (random examples). ;)

We won't be showing a faction in the next stele period.

Interesting...
A new game-mechanic, perhaps?


And for the Thracians, there were, if I'm not mistaken, some kingdom centered around Tylis from ca. 280 b.C, but it was more of a celtic-thracian kingdom, and it was not a major player, although they persisted well into roman imperial times, so they are not very likely... Still possible, though.

[Jolt]

when did he say that ???????????????

For simplification efforts, I'll even underline and bold his sentence:

I get a kick out of these posts, no matter how often I read them.
