    Not to mention, this kind of supports my case that the isles were a prize for the continental powers rather than the home of a faction-worthy political institution.


    Uhm, what? If anything, creation of cash cow regions is a terrible reason not to include a faction.
    It doesn't seem accurate for that region at that time. I don't think Britain was a center of great wealth in the world, which it turns into once the isles are united (because of the way the game engine works)

    Even if Britain was not as developed as Gaul, Cassivellaunus had waged war against several other British tribes, so there was effort by tribes to exert control over each other through the use of arms and create hegemony, and not just patronus-cliens-relationships.
    Are you saying this is unique? Name a tribe that doesn't wage war with neighboring tribes. I'm wondering when a significant political entity actually emerged in the Isles, rather than a series of waning and waxing tribes.

    Also, has it not been mentioned that all the factions of EBI are going to make it in EBII? (Unless I'm gravely mistaken)
    Yes, it has. I'm just disagreeing with one selection.

    It also makes any faction there more active on the continent and more open to invasion by continental powers which is essentaily fixes (hopefully) the main problems people have with the Casse (that they never seem to do anything beyond conquering britain and they never face any real threat from other factions).
    What did the Catuvellauni accomplish?
