What faction should be LAST of playable?

[andrew2788]

At this point I just hope the next faction announced is neither the Ptolemaics or the Seleucids (although I do believe it's one of them, I just don't care either way) just to stop all this bs, although I do like nicolasete's color scheme method of prediction

[He111]

It's actually in the poll, but he took the care to give them a different name (Lagids) and funnilly enough it is the only faction name in italics.


Antiochus, dude, you are probably gonna earn the prize to the most biased guy in the forums some day.

Thats excactly what i was thinking

Yeah... 6 years of half-finished architecture studies won't get me a job... but i know me mine own three primary colors well... don't I?

[Emperor Of Seleucid]

Seleucids and no bias in saying that

[Stath's]

Seleucids

[Haincz]

Egypt

[friget234]

Seleucids clearly

[alex man142]

I love the Seleucids but I have more of a love for Egypt.

[Wothan]

From those names I only recognize arche seleukia, pontos,sourmatae and maybe getai without reading the OP
should I feel bad?

So you are saying Iberian tribes and Dacia weren't important in Roman age? Or... what's the point exactly? You dislike Iberia and Dacia for some reason?

1. That's my personal opinion.
2. It's a bit complicated. That post was referring to an imature guy who couldn't read the whole posts of mine. Here is the first post:

Let's make a synopsis. Here are the main points who support my opinion that Seleucids should be chosen instead of the Lagids. Of course, Lagids is the only serious competitor of Seleucids, since other options (e.g. Dacia, Lusotania etc.) are proposed because of personal preferences and nationalistic views than common logic.
1. Faction diversity: Seleucids are absolutely more variable, since they have greek, iranean and mesopotamean influences, in contrast to the Ptolemies, whose egyptian culture concerned only some pitiful levies and isolate villages.
2. Political status: Seleucids were, doubtlesly, the superpower in 270 B.C., despire the fact that Lagids were also a calcuable faction.
3. Animosity with Rome: Seleucids resisted, not very successfully, to the roman expansion, while Ptolemies were Rome's puppy, since the 2nd century.
4. Starting position: Egypt's position is ridiculously easy, with only one frontier (Libya was never famous for expansionism) and rich lands. Seleucids are already a great empire, but with rebellous regions and not nat all friendly neighbours, providing the task to avoid a catastrophe and resurrect the achaemenid empire!
Reasons that Egypt may be playable:
1. Cleopatra : Unfortunately, Cleopatra is quite famous (which means more money), but I don't think that it is a major factor.
2. Mummy returns: If CA doesn't keep her promise of historically accurate depiction of the Ptolemies, but I trust CA, don't you?

3. Of course not, I just prefer other factions to them>

Egypt

[Doe3000]

Why aren't the Egyptians on the list? I choose Egypt, as much as I love the Seleucids.

[Little Legionaire]

Ptolemaics

Sacrificing a goat for Seleucids.

Save the goat. I think your prayer will be answered anyway.

[Wothan]

Save the goat. I think your prayer will be answered anyway.

....just not in release...

[Seleucidfan]

Save the goat. I think your prayer will be answered anyway.

Well wanted to sacrifice it for Seleucids, Ptolemies and Lusitanians or other tribe from Spain but since number of factions is closed case Im praying for Seleucids now.

They are, under "Lagids."

[Ritterlichvon86]

Egypt.

[Himster]

I'd prefer the Selucids, but I think they'd make a better DLC because they're such a massive faction and be reserved for slightly more hardcore players.

[Mr. Shaboobies]

I would love it for CA to not choose the Ptolemaics either, just to see people's reactions. I mean they give us the Germans and Britons in lieu of the Seleucids and Egyptians? Too funny to me. Since we need another eastern faction, I am going to hope for Pontus.

What I do think CA should do is release a Diadochi wars DLC pack which brings in all the successor states as playable, with maybe a mini campaign too to follow in time?
