Faction List for EB2?

[Al-Masri]

Granted fellows this may be a bit early, but I was wondering if there was a preliminary list of factions yet for EB2.

What factions that were left out from RTW's EB because of the faction limits could be put into EB2?

[Barbarossa82]

I should imagine that Numidia, the Chatii and the Belgae are high on that list.

[Rilder]

Perhaps numidia, maybe a rebel faction offshoot of the Romani, I personally wouldn't mind seeing Syracruse become a faction... would really turn sicily into chaos I bet.

[Al-Masri]

Personally I would like to see another Germanic tribe to compete with the Sweboz or another Hellenic faction splitting the Koinion.

You know at one time I actually thought Persia still existed in 270 BC?

Some more Iberian factions would be in there, also hordes for civil wars

[The Celt]

I know this might not make much sense but I would love to see a Goidilic faction! Think about, the Casse will have an early contender before they move on to Gaul they have to fight the men of Erian. Plus I always wanted to conquer Rome as Ireland.
Illyria would also be welcome. Along with Chatti, Celto-Iberians, Numidia, Galatia, Syracuse, and maybe a Persian vassal state of the Arche Seleukia.

[Boyar Son]

Also some Danuban barbarians would be good. And how 'bout cisalpine gauls as a separate faction?

Goidils didn't quite exist yet, but the Erain tribe did (from about the 5th century). At the time they'd just be Q-Celtic speaking Britons though, and would become Goidils sometime around 200 BC. They're something to think about anyway, I know I do, but mostly because I'm very bored, and it matters little if they get in or not to me, so long as I have something to do for the project.

I know they were kinda late in showing but they could still be an emerging faction like the Mongols and Timurids in MTW2.(Though I guess that means that you can't play as them, bummer.)

In order of personal preference:

1) Bosphorian kingdom
2) Belgae (Bellovaci or Nervii)
3) Pergamon/Attalids
4) some representation of the Achean league - probably tricky
5) some faction between the Getai and Sweboz?
6) Galatians (in Anatolia) - Tylis maybe, but that seems stretched
7) Another Sauromatae confederation, Aorsi probably.
8) A new faction in transalpine Gaul
9) an emergent Romani rebel faction

I knew there would be supporters, that faction could have so many possibilities.

It hasn't been decided, but we'll probably want to keep these secret, and then slowly release them over time. Just to piss you guys off! There are some definites that we've already decided on (though we havent done any voting on them yet); factions that lost out to the saba and saka vote, when we put those two factions in.

Personally I would love to start working on EB2 when the next patch comes out, but we'll have to see about that. Currently we are working on the next big release, so that is priority for now.
