    Can some factions start at peace with the Rebels so they can trade with them until they attack them?

    And can some of the alternative factions be added into the game without taking out the Suebi, or is there not enough faction slots?

    Great work.

    Thanks charles the hammer, They(Bulgars) interestingly do spread out a bit in between the Sassanids and the Huns after they emerge but they eventually have to horde up.
