    Ok anyway, I wonder if CA will still release the faction dlcs when they're already unlocked and can be fleshed out by modders?

    I suppose when they decide to convert a 1 porvince minor to a playable faction and charge money for it, they won't just edit descr_start.txt and call it a job well done. They'd probably change the map around, meaning they'd give more than one region to that faction, as well as give it an expanded roster, an internal politics system, unique building choices etc.

    I'm still hoping for Thrace.

    Just to argue with that since this is a forum, could modders flesh out the factions too? CA would have to think of something...

    Do you know anything that CA could do? I really do wonder...

    They can't add regions as it'll most likely break MP campaign, modders might find a way to add in politics system though it'll take a while, units can also be made as CA devs told modders about swip swapping models and colors which allow CA to crank out more units in less time compared to older TW games)

    I can't think of anything right now though...

    Somebody has already made all the factions playable, so fleshing them out I think is the job for the modders, though I believe that will come much later.

    Judging by how long it takes to make an overhaul for Rome 1 that'll indeed take a while.

    So CA has this little time window to jump through and make dlcs.

    Why Thrace? In R1, they were one of my least favorite factions to play. Bastarnae were one of my favorite mercs, but you didn't need to play Thrace to get them. Other than pike and Greek Cav, I always viewed them as a Dacia clone, without the option for Chosen Archer Warbands

    For historical reasons obviously. The Thracian peoples were a long-lived and prosperous culture long before Rome ever rose to power.

    I know the Dacians are related to the Thracians and judging by EB's Getae they are quite cool. Especially the unit roster which has steppe units too.
