i'll take a stab and say 42.

Also a revised list of factions I think will make it into EB2 (but will not be upset if EB team can choose more appropriate ones.

1. Belgae
2. Bosphorian Kingdom
3. Arevaci
4. Pergamon
5. Boii
6. Atropatene
7. Massyli
8. Nabataea
9. Gandhara Satrap
10. Empty for scripting purposes

I guess I'll take a crack at this and make a prediction.

1. Pergamon
2. Galatia
3. Numidia
4. Illyria
5. Belgae
6. Syracuse
7. Massilia
8. Cetl Iberian
9. Turdetani
10. Some Thracian faction

Well;
Here is my list;
1-Pergamon (already choosen so I put her in first)
2-Bosphorian Kingdom (why? Because interesting place... Can also be resisting force against Sarmatians)
3-Celtiberian / Arevaci (well after all Celtiberian suggests :D hehe Well Small Iberia needs another faction too :D :D )
4- Thracian / Odrysians (Well this is my suggestion... :D )
5 and 6 - I think EBII team put two factio in central Europa...But i am not sure which ones but I highly expect :D

Well I also like to see Numidians , Scythians and Illyrians but i noticed too much 'negative' comments about 'their impossibility as a playable EBII faction' I hope those imposibilites reduced in time

And I remember I gave a promise (it becomes an oath for me! :D ) that I will give detailed info about both EBII thracian units and detailed information for 'why odrysians' must be in EBII'...
And now I am continueing research

my another study which is on Kommanes Megaes slows down the processes... :(

However, mine is obviously of superior quality. Despite this, if anyone copies it, I'll issue a new proclamation demanding every orgah to flame you. Proceed at your own risk.

Scythians were in decline and Illyrians were yet to be organized enough, but although no official statement from the team exists on the subject, it is the general consensus among the fans that some Numidian faction will be in. Though it will certainly not be just a generic "numidian" faction, but rater one of the two main numidian tribes of the period, the Maesyli and the Masaesyli (or both).

And for the Thraikians, the Odrysian kingdom is the right period (founded c. 280, after the celtic ravagings), but I'm not thoroughly convinced, though. Particularly as I don't think they expanded much beyond their original borders. Maybe your research will change my mind, though...
