New factions?

[B-Wing]

How did I miss that the Basternae were already confirmed?!? And that's AWESOME, by the way!

[anubis88]

Not AFAIK

Keep in mind that Moros was the one who said it.... If he's always telling the truth then the Spice Girls are likely to be the next confirmed faction.

On topic, I'm not sure why the Masaesylians aren't mentioned more as a possible faction. They are regularly mentioned in the Massylian preview as the major enemy of the Massylians, and it seems to me that this is a situation similar to the Aedui and Arverni, where it would be historically inaccurate for the team to include one without the other.

To make it up I'll tell you some true facts. The spice girls will obviously not be a faction. What nutcase came up with that? The Masaesylians however will not be a faction though. It's a bit much for the area. The Basternae were not confirmed in the past, nor was it by me. It was a not too clear joke referring to a post from a little earlier.

Haha there's no need to make it up, I (and I think most others) like your jokes

Thanks for the info though, looks like I'm going to have to make up a new list, I was very convinced the Masaesylians would make it, but yes it isn't exactly an area that needs three factions when it's already going to have two.

WHAT? That's it, I'm no longer interested in EB anymore. That's what I was really hanging out for...

[Moros]

They might be working on EBII's new theme song though?

[Brennus]

So what's going on with the Bastarnae? (Apart from their already dead).

[Morte66]

They were ruled out, but the team changed their mind after new research came to light. Now they're in, and they're removing the Romani to make room for them. Seems a bit hard on the guys who did the work for the Romani preview, but I guess they gotta do what they gotta do.

They might or might not be in. Nothing official has been stated I believe. Either way if not as a faction at least a regional will be in. That's as much as I can say and as much as had been confirmed earlier.

Aw damn, they haven't been confirmed? So much for my hats, t-shirts, and matching underwear.

[Cyclops]

I find the elaborate and carefully worded follow up to what was clearly an off-hand joke a fair indicator they are in. Just pop psych 101 of course, what would I know?

So keep the pants on, just for the moment.

[Moros]

I love how people really have no idea when I'm talking truth, lies or a mix of both.

I'd make a pretty advocate or minister of propaganda orsomething.

[stratigos vasilios]

Maybe just stick to being the minister of pie for now?...

Really? Or is this another elaborate ruse?

...I'd make a pretty advocate or minister of propaganda ...

...or a Bastarnae faction developer...

king, my son, king!

[Cute Wolf]

I Highly doubt they'll put Bastarnae factions in...

This is a thread of mine that i stumbled upon while retracing my steps on these forums;

Teleklos Archelau states that the Kingdom of Noricum could be considered for EB II with a very ambiguus smile at the end :)

I know it's kinda a crowded now with the Boii, but who knows :D

[Cute Wolf]

Moros will reserve a slot to his spice girls factions in great britain... I'm looking forward to hot babes clad in bikini

[Balbor]

have all the new faction slops been filled by the team or are they still considering some?

[anubis88]

I think all of them were already decided...

[DeathFinger]

Well, the problem is: will we play Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm or Geri Halliwell? It wouldn't be historically accurate to play the Spice Girls united at this time, ya know.

[Moros]

With victoria you'd get a plastic reform...

What the hell? You decide to put an easter egg faction? that was a waste of 1 faction slot!!! that slot will be better used as "free people" factions or such! representing underpowered faction that should't be eleutheroi!!!

[Arjos]

Pretty sure they're joking :p
But yes having previews or little sneak peeks instead of reading about spice girls, would be better XD

[Moros]

But they were the next preview.

[Arjos]

But they were the next preview.

The team must understand us:
We are suffering withdrawal symptoms from June, on top of that the hot sun is giving a bad time to everyone, at least give us the spice girls' gaesatae :D

lol. I think the next faction preview is going to answer ALOT of questions. Take your time boys, EBII is like Whisky, the longer it's left the better it seems to get.

Surely you're not being serious...

Well, how the hell else are we supposed to get Transformers, Mega Man, and Brock Samson in the mod? Look, if you can't provide real solutions to the limitations of hard coding, then you're just going to have to check yourself before you wreck yourself.
