    Default Should Meroe be in RTW II?

    Heye yet another should be in this nation topic?

    Why not Adding also Meroe ? capital of the Kingdom of Kush down to the Egyptian border? Romans have invaded and sacked Napata in 23 AD , by the Roman local governor ... in answer to repeated raids of southern meroitic warriors to the southern roman empire borders of Egypt ...

    Barely a menace for rome and become a roman vassal state but still was an enemy and worth consideration of adding perhaps as minor faction?

    It should be in, at least as a minor faction.

    I think they would make a fine addition as a minor faction.
    When in doubt, attack.

    As there are no rebels in RTW II it should really be there. Especially as they want to have as much as possible diversity from history to spice up the game. Mini-factions or full factions are this are the ideal way to go and would even add spice in a way that both the history fanatic as the cinematic gamer would want. It is excotic without the need of fantastical or anchronistic elements.

    If they played it that way there is actually no need for historical accuracy. Cause as they said themselves, history is stranger than fiction. And this time period is full of it, the variation and excotic elements are there for the picking. And should be one of hopefully many great picks.

    Yes Meroe should be in.
    Egypt needs some conflicts on the southern borders. Otherwise it would be too boring playing them from a secure base. And a unique and exotic culture with black pharaos would add diversity to the game.

    Absolutely, I hope they go down to the horn of Africa and get the southern Arabian civilizations too. I really liked the one in EB and from looking at the preview for EB2 I'd love to see that area covered more.

    If they are I just hope they don't look like the horrible black African units in RTW. Bantu-Egyptian hybrids with flat-tops and Zulu shields. Before you finalize a unit from concept art made by a guy with an AA in art, not in any sort of historical field, take 5 seconds and do a google image search for god's sake.

    Hells to the yes!
    Though admittedly I say yes to any proposed faction, the more exotic the better.
