[Factions] If it were up to you, how would you change the roster?

[Cambyses]

I would shrink the scale of the map sigificantly so that its based far more on the Mediterannean and add many more provinces to historically key areas, meanwhile losing Britain, Arabia, the Baltic and anything east of Iran. That would remove Saka, Saba, Casse and Baktria. I would replace them with Numidia, Belgae / A N Other Germanic faction, Pergamon and a "Western Koinon Hellenon" faction which included Syracuse. Optionally I would remove Epirus and add the Boii.

If we kept the map the same I would second the suggestion of removing Saba and the Casse - making Britain and Arabia one province each. I would add Meroe to counter the ptolies in Egypt (historically they successfully resisted all invasions of this time including from the Romans at the height of empire) and add a faction to central northern europe. Hopefully using BI - the Cimbri as a horde.

Make hoplites good.

Make hoplites good.

Classical hoplites are brilliant. Not sure what you mean.

Don't worry mate, he's always been misunderstood. He can still make them quite good online with his hoplite push. Now that's classic ;-)

As a follow-up to my little statement that the casse tend to invade the mainland in my games I have a little pic that people can see in my new macedon game. The casse have taken some land via invasion in gaul but haven't even taken the whole of britain yet. Interesting. I know its a proper invasion rather than a rebellion or anything else as I have seen the army beseiging the citiy many times then peace due to the weird BI.exe bug of naval invasions then making peace. But they finally took it, here is proof.



Finally some real evidence to back up some of the crap i say.

[QuintusSertorius]

Must be a bi.exe thing. With rtw.exe, the only factions I've ever seen move troops by ship are Qarthadast and Koinon Hellenon.

I would add Meroe to counter the ptolies in Egypt (historically they successfully resisted all invasions of this time including from the Romans at the height of empire)

Meroe requires a new culture slot and all slots are already filled, even if you take out the factions you say you will.

1) Take away Koinon Hellenon, Epeiros, Arche Seleukeia and Romani
2) Replace with four NEW ROMAN FACTIONS!
3) ???
4) Profit!
