New Faction Ideas in Rome 2

[Lanciarius_90]

GALATIA (barbarian/greek )
SABA (arabians/eastern)
JUDEA (greek/eastern infuence)
RHODOS (naval power)
ILLYRIA (barbarian/greek )

[badhaggis]

Galatia is very interesting, but if I remember correctly, it's long past it's zenith.

[Marbar]

I want them to include the Seleucid empire again. I loved the whole silver thing their troops had going on in Rome 1.

I am pretty sure that the Seleucid Empire will be included, although I would be very disappointed if it isn't.

[badhaggis]

I'd say that's a given.

[Xerrop]

They have migrated (or should I better say have been invited to Anatolia) in the 270's BC. That is only few years before the starting date of Rome:TW and also the remake.

[wrcromartie]

I guess it could be kind of like the Crusade/Warpath/Jihad feature, but instead of selecting a target city, it's against an invading nation.

The thing is, you have to have good relations with the other tribes that you want to form a confederation with (or they hate the faction you're going against enough ). Kind of like vassals, but you don't have control over them. Agreements could be made, such as raising troops, defending a certain province, kill general x, etc.

This would be pretty cool, like a pagan crusade.

[Tadzreuli]

Caucasian Iberia ( Kingdom of Kartli) and Caucasian Albanian kingdom

[NRohirrim]

What do you hope will be in Rome 2 and do you think they'll be implemented

I really don't know what factions that I should hope for, but I really would love to see like some sort of nomadic African tribe (only if they extend the map way down to the middle of Africa or something like the )

Please share your ideas/opinions

Possibly african factions I'd like to see:
- Carthage (playable)
- Ptolemei Egypt (playable)
- Numidia
- Mauretania
- Kush
- Garamantes
- maybe Axum or something in ethiopian-eritrean style

[Marbar]

I'd also like to see Numidia be a playable faction. Can anyone provide an historical knowledge on how strong they were militarily? I remember reading that they harassed Carthage quite a bit but I don't know much besides that

Sure they will. The Seleucids are the most powerful Hellenistic Kingdom and one of the main enemies of Rome around the Mediterranean Sea. Not only will they be included, I'm also rather sure that they'll be playable from the start.

[NRohirrim]

Possibly asian factions I'd like to see:
- Seleucids (playable)
- Parthians (playable)
- Pontus (playable)
- Pergamon
- Greco-Bactria
- Armenia
- Sakas
- Saba
- Galatia
- Nabatene
- maybe Mauryan Empire or part of it

I hope so, it will be interesting to see if CA includes the Mauryan empire in the game and the interaction between the seleucids and mauryan, If I'm not mistaken they had small wars where the Seleucid empire tried to take Alexander's conquests back, but eventually made peace. I believe from the peace treaty the Seleucids received a ton of elephants which they used against the other Hellenistic kingdoms. I hope they include the elephants fro the seleucids, otherwise i'll be

Seleucids had even animal training school for war elephants near Antiochia.
