No Amazons?

[atila9000]

no sparta???

[Biggus Splenus]

I disagree with your list. I don't want the barbaric tribes grouped together by their nationality, or the greeks grouped by alliances, thats just silly.

Also, there is already a factions thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=547927

Rome - Patricans and Plebs
Carthage - Tyrian Nobles and Lybian commoners
GReek City States
* Sparta - Spartians and Helots
* Athens - Democratic rulers and disinfranchised Aristocrats
* Other states - Aristocratic Rulers and Commoners (poor)
etc
etc

Persians and Indians, Persians primarily.

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

But Sparta just gets killed by Achaea in like 250 BC and the game will probably start 270 BC.

Why are you splitting the social classes up for factions?

Isn't Total War about creating your own version of history, not following it

It is, but that is from turn 2 onwards. You can't play as a faction that doesn't exist at the time.

Hopefully CA make emergent nations for all the Greek city states in all regions, that will definitely reflect what Greece was like back then

[The Useless Member]

Do you know which faction I want to see?

All of them!

MINDFREAK'D!!!

.. Because Rome, like all nations WASN'T just ONE faction, it was made of many competing 'social classes', as you say. Rome without Patricans and Plebs will probably be totally unrealistic ..and lame.

Just because they had competing political parties and competing social classes doesn't mean they're separate factions. The Romans are still a single political entity and a single faction unless it's a Civil War.

You did split the Plebs into a seperate faction though. Plebs didn't rule the nation, the higher class did

iberians,sarmatians,dacians,tracians,gauls,britains,celts,lusitanians,celtiberians,germanics,dalmatians not are nations or kingdoms as carthague,seleucid empire or rome.
these regions is divided in many tribes and clans.
for example the gallic regions.

CA must to do this very accurate in all barbarians regions.
not gauls generalist,germans,iberians etc as in roma total war.
in greece smalls kingdons and confederation and macedonia as great kingdom.

A map crowded with hundreds of impoverished one-province factions with little to distinguish them gameplay-wise? That sounds like a GREAT use of a game developer's limited resources!

For Rome how about:
choose a place to start/govern at start of the game (like in shogun multiplayer but with single player).
Make your own family (like in shogun multiplayer but with single player).
Random Families will be randomly genetated at start of game and put in to fill other starting positions.
A fun idea to improve RTW2 fraction list: new fractions ever time!
