Any new nations in Rome II ? How about their color ?

Do you think that we can see new nations in Rome II ??? Or It will be like Rome I ?

What colors for each nation can be the best ?

I'm sure there will be some changes to the faction system in Rome II, though I believe they're sticking with the family system and looking towards even more intrigue and scheming.

They've stated before that Rome will be one faction this time around.

Nah man, no new factions will be added at all. Nope. None.
In fact they're probably going to take away some of them.

I'm hoping they focus less on colour to differentiate factions and more on uniform, equipment, and language.

I really thought the color scheme of Rome I was, bad, at best. I really hated the "primary color" retinue of blue, green and red for the Roman factions but to be honest the other factions weren't much better. Hot Pink for Parthia? How about light blue for Britannia but also light blue for Thrace? And who can forget Scythia's marauding orange banner of HA doom? That's not to say it was all bad; I actually liked Numidia's icon and color scheme but sadly that's a faction you don't see much of unless you use it yourself.

I recall in M2TW the same faction lineup and color scheme was retained from the original. I've been hearing that the developers have made comments indicating Rome 2 will be different and more divergent from its predecessor, so we can at least hope for something better. That said, if there are 60 some factions it could be quite difficult to differentiate them by color alone anyway. There will probably need to be additional details and accents, by necessity, just to keep everything straight so I am holding out hope. If nothing else, I just hope CA makes the "livery" for each faction unique and as realistic as possible. Don't get me wrong, I really like those barbarian stripey pants and eastern pajamas we got in RTW, but I would say it is time to move on.

Strat map colors aside, it doesnt make sense to me to have the soldiers of every faction wear uniforms thats look like musical costumes.

Why not go for a little more realism and get rid of this nonsense.

THAT IS THE QUESTION

They should get rid of the colors, I agree. The soldiers then look like their are making some kind of performance on the stage.

It won't be like Rome one for certain.

We will have around 50-60 factions, probably 15 playable(which I hate), so there will be almost all the factions of that era that existed.
