New factions?

There is certainly space in that part of the map. Would be an interesting faction, combining Celtic, Germanic and Steppe Iranian qualities. How many slots are left to confirm?

Six.

**Horatius Flaccus** · 05-20-2010, 20:55

So that does mean there are going to be 10 extra factions?

Slots might not equal factions.

bobbin are you suggesting that slots might be used for AI factions instead, perhaps with the Cimbri and Teutones emerging and using the crusades feature to amass a very large force at some point in the game if the right conditions are met? Or is that a load of Casse pony poo I am talking?

What could slots be used for then?

Cimbri and Teutones won't emerge. Don't even go there :)... There was a long debate about this over at TWC

No, the rebel faction is already included. The team has hinted that it might reserve one of the faction slots for scripting purposes. However, all factions will be playable.
