As Destin Faroda wrote, there were only some military advisors. A quick overview on wikipedia:

And the most notable...
Didn't stop it from conquering Finland during the 12th and 13th century already, and starting early tensions with the Russian principalities. And what exactly do you mean with unified? Many medieval...
Well that would be no Medieval:TW anymore, but more a Renaissance/Early Modern:TW ;)
I found the End Date of Medieval1 with 1453 more appealing to the games topic than the late ending in Medieval2...
It is just a variation of the Eastern (Greek Orthodox) Christians imho, as East Africa was influenced/shaped by Syrian and Egyptian missionaries.
No need to have an own "national" christian cult...
I would say the newer games offer more options and decisions in this regard. From Empire:TW to Shogun2 and now Rome2/Attila you get more and more internal decisions and tasks on the campaign map plus...
As others have already indicated it has nothing to do with laziness. Napoleon uses the same files as Empire:TW (as it is just an expansion instead of a completely new game) and only the playable...
I do not own Shogun2 and Rome2 yet, have mostly played STW1, MTW1, Rome1 and Empire. While the last one is way too easy with all the passive AI-factions I can remember losses in all others:
An...
Well, the negativity can depend on various reasons - an expansion (and this is practically one in all except name) is often less demanded and has therefore fewer sales than the main-game. Same with...
Why should anyone have restored territory to Poland? And modern Russia has NO former Polish territory - Kaliningrad was former Prussian (German) territory!
But the modern states of Belarus and...
This. Why should I desert and leave my clan alone?
Well, when the campaigns are going wrong, there should be no bored player anyway. TW games are only boring when you are strong enough to...
Well I second the OP.
The name 'Total War: Attila' is really a bad choice. When making a remake why not naming it as such (BI 2). Another option would be 'Fall of Rome' or something like that, as...
What has Medieval2 to to with this? It is set centuries later when the muslim society was well established.
A game set in the first half of the 7th century would be dealing with the creation of...
Well, you have to take into consideration, that you had no Civil Wars and no emergent/rebelling factions in M2:TW. No wonder it was one of the easiest games in the series. ;)
p.s. and regarding to...
As this is only the standalone-expansion of Rome2 there will probably not be that many mini campaigns compared to Rome2. And the Islamic Caliphate is out of the timeframe imho. Not to mention that it...
This would be a good solution. There was simply no difference between Orthodox and Catholic until the 11th century.
Another option (according to an old rome1-mod) could be Trinitarian...
Wasn't it clear for 99 % of the TW-fans that the next game after Rome2 will be an expansion based on Rome2? All TW games had an expansion so far.
Shogun -> Mongol Invasion
Medieval -> Viking...
Why should the northernmost factions be discouraged to expand in various directions? And there are only few provinces north of them - it is not like there are 50 useless provinces there. It seems not...
The 8-turn marching province was an African one: Gaetulia. But with a new Numidian faction there it would be bad to have even less provinces in the Maghreb region.
While I agree that there could...
Even with a third non-egyptian province the area would still be too small for a new faction there. Meroe should be split into three parts at least: Napata, Meroe and a province south of them to show...
But I can remember threads about the Barbarian Invasion engine some years ago. The factions supposedly acted according to the pre-defined regions. There was even a Mini-mod giving the EB-factions a...
Well - such (simple) questions can only be answered with yes. There would be no part of the map not deserving a faction.
But with only two possibilities left, the team has to decide what areas on...
Voted for Lugiones and Taksashila.
The Indians because of my interest in the eastern part of the map. I have played every faction there in EB1; Parthians, Baktria, Saka-Rauka, Seleucids,...
Well both votes separated (Public and Jury) would have changed nothing on the result. The Jury-only voting was just a small lead for Conchita - while using Public voting, the first place for Austria...
The Greeks tried to settle Corsica in the 6th century BC. But in 540 bc they were defeated by a combined Etruscians/Carthagian fleet leaving control over the island to the Etruscians. With the...
Have you ever played vanilla RTW and then EB or RS2? Apparently not, cause otherwise you would not even bother to ask such a question.
Just try it and you will easily see and feel the difference...
But the second one does actually look very similar to many comitatensis-units in this mod. Except the helmet maybe. :hmm:
About the well-known roman soldier in the first picture: I think he does...
Voted for Taksashila, Lugiones and Saka-Rauka. The first two are new exotic cultures located in interesting areas of the map. And I like Steppe nomads also: Sauromatae have a better position to...
I am no modder, but regarding culture slots: There are only seven available afaik (Eastern and Western Greeks, Romans, Barbarians, Semitics, Eastern and Steppe people). But from reading the FAQ the...
When reading the discussions here about Scotland/Ireland, does the Eremos-territory have any influence on neighboring areas? Don't know, maybe higher unrest or rebells roaming near provinces. Or is...
Personally I never wanted Rome2. My personal Rome2 is Europa Barbarorum2 once it will be finished.
My favorites would be any setting during the Dark Ages, 476 to 1066 AD, or Renaissance, 1454 to...
Yeah, MTW1 was great. But Shogun1 was also quite good and enhancing the atmosphere. No wonder that some tracks were used again in the sequel.
True ... nothing more to say.
Would be the best decision. Just wait for a GOTY or Gold-Edition to have all DLC and a stand-alone expansion + DLC combined.
Have you played other TW games so far? A beginner of the series might...
Well I am asking because the Iazyges are even mentioned in the campaign description:
From the 365AD-campaign: Valentinian had to contend with the Alemanni and Quadi and Iazyges who were causing...
So their armies got crushed mostly, but they still existed as a people? Wouldn't even a weaker faction have some reason to be included nonetheless. Just to make the Barbarian lands near the Roman...
Just a quick question: Why are the Jazyges only playable in the 355 campaign? It feels like a waste of a faction slot when seeing their 'Faction Destroyed-Screen' immediately after starting a 361 or...
I cannot judge on Shogun2 as I never played it, but loosing whole campaigns happened only in Shogun1. And sometimes in Medieval1 due to my dynasty dying out. Hardest battles where also in these...
Bactria is an interesting faction of course.
But without some Indian provinces it would feel lame. Starting in a corner of the map gives you not much directions to expand.
All the Major Powers in Napoleon start with multiple provinces ranging from six up to a dozen, but all of them are located on a single campaign map. While in Empire you have smaller factions like...
They are still using the Warscape Engine. Don't think that they need a remake so fast.
Maybe when creating a new engine eventually. But overall I think they should explore new scenarios instead of...
