As many know in the year 500 b.c rome is fundated is it possible to make it as an emergent faction or a rebel army?

that's sound good as a history fact my friend, but we are in the classical age and greece rule so.......

No Rome isnt in it for the millionth time.

It took Rome over 100 years after that to conquer its immediate neighbour, Veii, and establish itself as a regional power, so I think even a rebel army would be overdoing it. But it would be nice as a historical pop-up.

I thought Rome was founded in ca. 750 BC?

In myth. But it was tiny and insignificant for a long time.

It was an insignificant city, at that time...no need to put Rome in this mod, imho...

Rome was fonded in 753BC.Actually they became good after 510-509BC after Tarquinus Superbus,king of Rome,was exiled and the republic began to rule.

Then it became democracy, not a significant city...

Well after they became a republic,then they began growing stronger and stronger.Yes it took time,but at the time of the peleoponnesian war I think they had some significance.

Very little on Greece. It has been discussed before and has always been said that ROME WILL NOT BE IN HEG!

The city itself might be in the mod (seems like it was shown in a map preview), but the faction definitely won't be and doesn't need to be.

**Beorn** · May 22, 2009, 04:21 AM

Yeah. By then, they hadn't more influence than the otheer Italian tribes, apart from the Etruskans...

I'm pretty sure Rome was occupied and ruled by the Etruscans at this time.

I don't remember the exact date of the exile of teh last Etruskan king of Rome, but it's possible...

509 B.C. if I remember correctly. I don't think Rome should be a faction though, as it wasn't of that much importance in that period. Even if it was included as a small city state, I don't want to watch it grow and conquer again.
