I predict a Baltic faction to be found in EB2. Somehow it makes sense to me. In EB1.2 there are already some Baltic units, while a Baltic faction could keep Sweboz in check. They would make both the Sweboz and perhaps in a later stage even the Sauromatae a much bigger challenge. Right now, I feel the Sweboz sitting in the midst of rebel territory and not being attacked by other factions for the first 20-30 years is quite unrealistic.
