    Default The Siculi

    I think it will be neat to play as the native Sicilians since they appear thay are to going to be an underdog faction.

    I dont know much about them, it would be nice if somebody told me some stuff about them.


    Also, Sardinia is on the map right? So will the natives be represented with a rebel province and unique units?

    Native Sicilians will definitely be an underdog faction. However it won't be possible to completely kill them once and for all, and they'll reappear every now and then when the Carthaginians or Syracusans of Sicily get weak.

    As for Sardinia, it is definitely on the map. It has a vast inland populated by natives, and a thin strip of coastal land that's controlled by the Carthaginians. Here is a map of its geography:

    How..? Campaign scripting? Factions in M2TW can't automatically 'respawn', can they?

    With a bit of scripting, they can.
    PI will have scripts, lot's of them I'm guessing. I'm preparing to be amazed.

    Well yes scripting will be part of it, but factions can be coded to reappear every now and then, and to not be allowed to be killed off completely (Mongols in the vanilla are a good example). Tons of regional nations all over the map will be like that, respawning in their respective areas to bring trouble to their current owner.

    That sounds like it should be a good challenge!
