Whats the next facton?

[persianfan247]

What faction is going to be finished nexted for ROP?
What faction would every one like to see made next?
My chose would be Balk

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

honestly, Skudata and nubia would be nice (no I'm no team member)

[Deathbypepsi]

still praying for the sabean axemen... i need to cleave a path through the desert! *cries a little with anticipation*
but yeh, wouldnt say no to the Skudata either...

[rez]

The faction thats currently in the works is Bactria.

Looking into my crystal ball I imagine the Scythian factions would be next. We're trying to get the more important factions done before taking on the smaller fun ones.

I can't wait for Kush though.

[al-charif]

why is there no faction called Meshwesh in africa

the Meshwesh where a ancient Berber/libyan tribe that was fighting against the pharaoh's of Egypt untill the have taken over white the help of there king and new pharaoh Oshkoron.

a little about them from wikipedia:

Meshwesh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meshwesh (mšwš.w)

The Meshwesh (often abbreviated in ancient Egyptian as Ma) were an ancient Libyan (i.e., Berber) tribe from Cyrenaica.
a map:


During the 19th and 20th Dynasties, the Meshwesh were in almost constant conflict with the Egyptian state. In the late 21st Dynasty, increasing numbers of Meswesh Libyans began to settle in the Western Delta region of Egypt. They would ultimately take control of the country during the late 21st Dynasty first under king Osorkon the Elder. After an interregnum of 38 years, during which the native Egyptian kings Siamun and Psusennes II assumed the throne, they ruled Egypt throughout the 22nd and 23rd Dynasties under such powerful kings as Shoshenq I, Osorkon I, Osorkon II, Shoshenq III and Osorkon III respectively. Their reign only came to an end with the invasion of the Kushite 25th Dynasty in Year 20 of Piye.

That the Meshwesh were of Libyan origin is explicitly stated in a genealogy contained on the stela of Pasenhor (dated to the reign of Shoshenq V, where the Great Chiefs of the Meshwesh (including the kings of the 22nd Dynasty) are stated to be the descendants of "Buyuwawa the Libyan." The Libyo-Berber origin of the Meshwesh is also indicated in their personal names (such as Osorkon, Takelot, Nimlot, Shoshenq, etc.) and a handful of non-Egyptian titles used by these people that are related to both ancient and modern Berber languages

did you know that sheshonq the first ruled in the same time as the prophet solomon did and that afther the death of the prophet solomon sheshonq 1 hade taken of the whole of judea.

he is even in your bible named as Shishaq.

in bible:

Chronicles 12:2-9

2And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

3With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

4And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

6Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

7And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

9So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.


i ame a muslim so i have taken this only for you.

[Phalanx300]

I would hope for some more Greek factions . Syracuse possibly . Or Argos, Corinth, Thebes . etc.

[al-charif]

he phalanx300 ben je nederlander?

[Nero666]

For sure he's dutch, just like me. But phalanx what's up with the flag - put some better colours

Unfortunately the Egyptians already reached the 26th dynasty at the beginning of ROP - which is the last dynasty before they were overthrown by the Persians. We do have Lybian soldiers in the Kemet army though

it's oke but i wanted to play as my own people.

Ofcourse I'm Dutch, who isn't! And I prefer the oranje blanje bleu flag, we should use it again! The first flag that we ever had, and red white blue seems a bit to similar to other flags if you ask me. And looking at history this one fits me better.

nou, ik ben geen nederlander ,ik ben een marokkaanse amazigh en ben geboren in nederland.

translate that if you are realy dutch.

(Heb je posts even wat opgeschoond - als je wat wilt toevoegen aan je bericht kun je de Edit Post knop gebruiken, werkt wat overzichtelijker )

Already guessed that you don't have too many dutch origins
(on-topic
Maybe if we have some spare time on our modellers hands we can make some berber mercenaries but atm obviously factions have more importance than regional mercs - hope u understand. If you can help us making units though, let us know

[al-charif]

offcource i understand that the faction are more importent
it is not a problem

[Nero666]

Oki back on topic plz..

[Hax]

Also: Great yay for nationalism.

Seriously, I'd like to see Syracuse as a faction, although it's a bit on the edge of the map.

my friend hax, the fellows working on ROP already decided on the factions. tragically, Syracuse isn't one of them AFAIK.
hey, at least Makedon is there

[Personified Boredom]

It would be minor, but perhaps more localized troops for the Italian peninsula? Local tribesmen and the like- Lucani, Samnites, Umbrians, Osci; those types. Nothing big, but perhaps recruitable as mercenaries or as local troops in Posiedona and Arpoi[Definitely did not spell either of those right...].

Well, maybe not Samnites or Umbrians, they were too far north, but I think I made my idea clear.

[Hound of Ulster]

I'd like Kush and Saba, just because...

[Spartan198]

Well, maybe not Samnites or Umbrians, they were too far north

I thought the Samnites were centered around the Arpoi area? :hmmm:
