    Do you mean African or Arabian?

    Also, the faction list is not out yet. Telling you would be...well, telling.

    There may be one or two new African factions, probably Numidian ones. Ethopia/Kush/Meroe is definitely out, however. They had minimal influence on the campaign map and their military was not very sophisticated. Also including them would require a culture slot (to give them black portraits, etc.) and that is not available. The same problem applies to any potential Indian faction; the other problem would be that the main Indian power, the Maureans, are mostly of the map. It would be very unrealistic to include them if their main area of interest and most of the Empire are not present.

    A Slavic faction won't be included for the simple reason that, at this point, there were no Slavs yet. The Slavs would only appear several centuries after the game ends.

    Kyrene?
    Personally I wouldn't play as them, and I think I've read they won't be included
    But they're the only other plausible African faction I can think of...

    but putting more european factions will add to the stress point where you cant act with allies because you know .
    not even in rome.
    allies acted like allies,
    they always backstabbed you.
    thats what i dont like about having too much european factions.
    you know what im talking about .
    at some point a nation will attack you ..
    but if youre at war with another that means the can act togheter . not as allies but attack you and attack you even with the smallest army stacks

    why dont make factions in diferent places.well interesting factions and why dont spread them and add more to playability and gameplay ?¡
    well its the decision of EB members.
    and i will be co0L and happy with whatever decision they make
