    Indeed. And, on second thought, it is my sincere belief that the Getai have no place in a history-minded mod.

    1) They were conquered by the Romans, so they must've been extremely weak, leading me to believe that their current unit roster is made up mostly of fabrications to make them viable in the game.

    2) The Romans abandoned the place when the Goths rode in, so that area must've been of very minor strategical/economical/military importance.

    3) Bartix (not related at all to Baktria) has yet to be properly represented in EB. Why bother with the insignificant Getai when there is a wealth of information regarding the Bartixioi? Come, EB team, don't let politics affect your decisions in making the most historical mod possible.

    + =

    3x for this, this, and this

    3) No it will not be in because of the limited information we have on their socio-political organisation. It's a very complex faction, that is hard to represent considering the limitations of modding. There will be some regional though. I mean what is a game without a Uranian deathray or 20 watt lightbulb levies?

    Oh yeah, and please no more KH anymore... you should represent them as independent city states, one faction for each cities, so we can get G-String wearing spartans, geeky athenians, and money throwing rhodians.

    Speaking of scotish voices, why do the carthagenian ships have them? Aye great lord? That makes no sense at all.

    I would prefer Gerard Butler, I think his voice would better suit a half naked spartan king

    They are the basic "carthaginian" voices from R:TW, as there isn't a voicemod available yet for naval units. However, "aye" is not necessarily Scottish. Also, the way they pronounce "r" is clearly not Scottish.

    Aw geez, you guys totally ruined the meaning of my post.

    And Moros, it was stated that all factions from EB1 will get it to EB2, so for future, you should make up better lies.
