Faction Slot

[Mouthwash1]

That said, it is already apparent that Judeans will NOT fulfill the criteria for inclusion as a playable faction. Thracians would be certainly interesting, but my (and take this as a personal opinion) guess would be that their lack of political unity prevents them from being included either. They would be better represented by regionally recruitable set of units IMO. In the discussions that were being conducted in the past within the Team, two factions in Western Europe, a faction in Western Iran and a faction in the Far East were the hottest candidates. But lot of time has passed since then so the final result can be very much different. A concise and well argument-ed input from the community thus still can carry the day. On this forum there at least two such examples which I personally find quite sound - for Syracusae and for Belage, but others were proposed too...

Well, Rome needs some competition down south that isn't Carthaginian, and it makes historical sense for Sicily.

(You can see I'm not very cut out for this.)
