    Perhaps the Illyrian pirates could team up with the Cilician pirates to make a solid faction across the map, led of course by the faction leader Captain Flint (Black Sails), and his faction heir Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean). Additional family members could even include Captain Hook (Hook, i.e. Peter Pan).

    I found this in the games files:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    {HE_IBOSHIM_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Baleares!
    {HE_IBOSHIM_TURMOIL_BODY}We have been here for several days, and we have not yet reached our destination in Sicily. These Balearics already sent many of their men to the war to serve as mercenaries, but the Carthaginians want more of them. They don@t understand it - the Balearic population is exhausted and won@t send more of their warriors. The Punics of Iboshim won@t be able to keep us here much longer as the Balearics are getting nervous because of our presence while the Carthaginians feel that their families are at risk. We should abandon these islands and journey on to Sicily before one of these slingers kills us with a certain shot to the head.
    {HE_NURRI_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Shardin!
    {HE_NURRI_TURMOIL_BODY}How can our actions be wrong? The Carthaginians didn@t send their magistrates with the agreed money, the rest of mercenaries took a decision and we supported them. We conquered the city easily, since we and our allies were the main garrison of Nurri. After that, defeating the few Carthaginians on the island was easy and many of the Sardinian mercenaries, who like us served in the Punic garrisons, supported our rebellion. Now, in order to obtain the riches of this island, all that remains is to subjugate the locals. They will take up arms and ask help from Carthage, so we have to be prepared when that moment comes.
    {HE_ALERIA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Korsim!
    {HE_ALERIA_TURMOIL_BODY}Why are we still in this place? There are no battles to fight here nor wealth to obtain. This is not a place of wars or wealth, and there@s nothing for us here. We must reach Sicily before the annoyed locals of Aleria rise up against us. It would be an easy fight but the rewards of battle will be larger in Sicily.
    {HE_SYRAKOUSAI_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Trinakrie!
    {HE_SYRAKOUSAI_TURMOIL_BODY}The majestic city of Syrakousai has fallen! Now, the Carthaginians will give us the rich lands that we deserve. Even so, we will have to defend what we conquered, as not all the local enemy have been defeated, and there are rumors that many mercenaries and a large phalanx armies are on their way.
    {HE_MESSANA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Sicilia!
    {HE_MESSANA_TURMOIL_BODY}We are victorious! We fought for our employers and conquered the city of Messana and other nearby cities of this land. Although today is a day for celebration and fun, we must remain watchful as rumor spreads that the locals are raising a new army.
    {HE_LILUBIM_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Elymia!
    {HE_LILUBIM_TURMOIL_BODY}One day you fight for the Carthaginians and the next day you are supporting the Greeks. After the defeat of the Punic army, the Syrakousai knew of our reputation and skill and so we were recruited to serve those who once were enemies. And now we can say that Syrakousai was never as powerful as it is today. The Greek phalanx-men and mercenaries from many regions (of which we are the bravest) have taken the city of Lilubim and other strongholds in Punic Sicily. The Carthaginians may return, but if so we will beat them again and our blades will take many enemy lives. That will ensure we are rewarded with good land upon which to settle.
    {HE_EMPORION_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Lacetania!
    {HE_EMPORION_TURMOIL_BODY}Not far from Emporion we made a pact with the Ilergetae and their allies, the Lacetani. Now we are plundering the crops of their enemies, and for the moment we are superior. But now they too seek allies to help defend their lands. Although protected behind the walls of their cities, they will attack if they gather enough warriors.
    {HE_ARSE_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Edetania!
    {HE_ARSE_TURMOIL_BODY}We@re getting close, not far now from the city of Arse, where wealthy foreigners wait to recruit mercenaries. However this is not a land of hospitality for us; the locals will protect their possessions and attack if they believe us to be a threat.
    {HE_ILTIRTA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Ilergetia!
    {HE_ILTIRTA_TURMOIL_BODY}Not far from Iltirta, we made a pact with the Ilergetae and now we are plundering the crops of their enemies. For the moment we are superior but they are gathering to defend their lands. They are protected behind the walls of their cities but they will attack us when enough warriors arrive.
    {HE_MOROIKA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Asturia-Kantabria
    {HE_MOROIKA_TURMOIL_BODY}Why are we still in this place? There are no battles to fight here nor wealth to obtain. This is not a place of wars or wealth, and there@s nothing for us here. We must reach the southern lands where we can be recruited as mercenaries before the annoyed locals of Moroika rise up against us. It would be an easy fight but the rewards of battle will be larger elsewhere.
    {HE_NEMANTIA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Celtiberia!
    {HE_NEMANTIA_TURMOIL_BODY}Here, the Arevaci are the strongest of all and Numantia their main city. But that doesn@t give them the right to send a garrison to our city. We must respond - only we can control our homeland.
    {HE_KONTREBIA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Celtiberia-Carpetania!
    {HE_KONTREBIA_TURMOIL_BODY}Not far from Kontrebia, one of our allied cities is in troubles and needs help. We must reinforce them and fight together against the common enemy that is coming.
    {HE_MASTIA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Bastetania!
    {HE_MASTIA_TURMOIL_BODY}We@re getting close, not far now from the city of Mastia, where wealthy foreigners wait to recruit mercenaries. However this is not a land of hospitality for us; the locals will protect their possessions and attack if they believe us to be a threat.
    {HE_GADER_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Turdetania!
    {HE_GADER_TURMOIL_BODY}At last we have come to Turdetania. Here, many rich cities require our services, and will hire us to fight with them as mercenaries. The enemy is out there, and is coming soon.
    {HE_NERTOBRIGA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Baeturia!
    {HE_NERTOBRIGA_TURMOIL_BODY}The war among the inhabitants of the Baeturia and Turdetania has been long, and the people of Baeturia are tired of the presence of so many mercenaries in their land. Rumour spreads that they will attack us soon.
    {HE_CAURA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Lusitania!
    {HE_CAURA_TURMOIL_BODY}Why are we still in this place? There are no battles to fight here nor wealth to obtain. This is not a place of wars or wealth, and there@s nothing for us here. We must reach the southern lands where we can be recruited as mercenaries before the annoyed locals of Caura rise up against us. It would be an honorable fight but the rewards of battle will be larger elsewhere.
    {HE_BRAKARA_TURMOIL_TITLE}Revolt in Callaecia!
    {HE_BRAKARA_TURMOIL_BODY}Strange legends speak about the lands of the Gallaeci, including tales of a mystical river, the crossing of which can hurl one into oblivion. It is time for us to go - the numerous warriors of this land would offer us an honorable fight, but the rewards of battle are greater in the lands to the south.
    {HE_KONTREBIA_YOUTH_REVOLT_TITLE}Unrest in Celtiberia-Carpetania!
    {HE_KONTREBIA_YOUTH_REVOLT_BODY}Not far from Kontrebia, where southern Celtiberia blends with Carpetania, one of the city-states of this land is holding an assembly in which fiery-tempered young warriors have begun a dispute with the council of elders. The elders are advising their city against war, but this opinion is not shared by the majority. Now this Celtiberian community is experiencing a period of crisis, and as tensions rise, the iuventus are preparing to act.

    Sounds like a great idea for a future patch, but right now the team is working steadily on the latest one that will include those Seleucid and Ptolemaic monster truck cavalry units I mentioned earlier:

    Add a random event for where Nakedus Snakus is forced to kill his mentor, becomes disillusioned with the Roman Republic, then starts an army without borders off the coast of Crete. Militaires san Frontieres has a reform where most of your men die horribly but you get a cute mute girl with a sniper rifle to follow you around. The name of the faction changes to Diamond Dogs, but then, on the second reform, the name changes again to Outer Heaven.

    Special Units: Miller. Effects: Miller moves incredibly slowly on account of only having one leg, but instantly does 9999 damage to any Carthaginian or Nabatean children within range of his cane.

    Venom Snake Effect: Snake can use his severe ptsd to summon the phantom pain and scream at the sky covered in blood, causing a severe morale drop for anyone watching.

    Soon, very soon, the Pikachu Army will arise. God have mercy on your faction when that "Invasion from the East" event finally arrives.

    Saka should be able to recruit them. In fact, there should be a regional unit, the "Sakachu" available only to the Sakas.

    I have a horrible suggestion
    How about when you conquer a town and you enslave them, you get the option to choose slave-wives for your family members , or possibly some weak slave soldiers to use as cannon fodder. Or get some unit cards named "slaves" consisting of like 100-200 units that you can use as cannon fodder or take them to your settlement, and if you garrison them and disband them inside your settlement then your population increases in that settlement. Good idea or terrible idea ?

    Your idea would be better if all of these slaves were armed like Apache war bands from the 18th-19th centuries, armed with flintlocks and such, while sporting mohawks. Or better yet, if all of them had amputated arms for robotic chainsaw prosthetic limbs powered by liquid nitrogen fuel cells. Now that's realism!

    On another note, the game should have a serious and healthy dose of thrash metal on the battle map, preferably with songs that are actually about the Roman Empire, like this one! Courtesy of Warbringer.



    To the victor goes the spoils
    Sound the drums of war
    Raising high our banners
    The legion marches forth
    On a trail of conquest
    We are the sons of Mars!
    We desecrate their shrines
    Annihilate their gods

    On the endless march
    We set afire the town
    All who oppose
    The gladius cuts them down
    They call out for mercy
    For refuge they seek
    But the deafening roar of battle
    Silences the weak

    The sick, the dying, the conquered, the slain
    Forget their faces, forget their names
    Vae victis
    Woe to the vanquished
    Cities fall to the barbaric horde
    Watch your family put to the sword
    After the conquest men are enslaved
    Children are butchered, the women are raped
    Waters that once gave life run red
    Your language, culture, way of life dead
    Each of your sons I shall murder at birth
    'Til all of your people are wiped from the earth

    The battle you have lost
    The blood that falls like rain
    Now your temples lie in ruins
    Your people are in chains

    Any ETA for the inclusion of this settlement?



    EDIT: On that note, here's some nice concept art to use for the design of the Celtic generals:

    Every time you destroy an enemy faction, your faction should receive an Academy Award for "Best Warriors in a Modified Real-time Tactical Turn-based Strategy Video Game".

    Every city with a Hellenistic Metropolis should look like Coruscant on the battlemap.

    You should also get a reform where your Roman FM disbands the Senate and builds a Death Star.
