New Faction Revealed

[DaciaJC]

it was? but you just had to unluck it, right? or am i mistaken now? i thought every faction in rtw was playable without cheats or modding except the senate and rebels.

Certain factions, the Roman ones, were available from the get-go. Others, like Gaul, were unlocked after completing a Roman campaign. Yet others, like Dacia, remained unplayable unless you made a small edit in the descr_strat.txt file.

Unfortunately, I don't think gaining access to nonplayable factions in Rome 2 will be as simple as editing a text file as in RTW.

I know there is a way to make all nonplayable factions in Shogun 2 playable, so I assume someone will figure something out eventually.

I hope Parthia will be one of the 8

I'm so excited about this.
Probably would even get my PC updated to really feel the game.

It so cool they added Macedonians - their contest of the world is for some reason more appealing to me than the Roman one. The Romans were to cocky :)
