Unlocking Factions In rome 2 Just like in Rome1

[stradar1]

Heres the deal Im speculating so dont get me wrong but I think maybe they will allow you to Unlock factions again once you! wipe them off the map or when a AI does. So this will add to more factions playable maybe? First off Id like to add I am a bit sad about the small playable faction list.

But I will have to say it would be brillent if they did it this way I wouldnt mind doing this. Now the game is still far from release so we do not know if they will add more playable factions in the future so we have time fellas. Now think of it this way we still got time to see what else will be playable.

I for one will be playing Rome first of course. I do hope they will make the Greek states playable becuase that would be my second Choice.

I honestly think they need to bring back faction unlocking becuase it gives you the feeling of Achievement. And gives you a direction of who you would like to play next it would be exciteing for me at least what are your thoughts?

Creative Assembly official answer: there are no unlocking factions. All are ready from the beginning like the last 3-4 games.

Instead of being negative add to the thread lol. Even if they said this does not mean others will not be put into the game.

Yes yes it does.

As pointless this post as the last one that said /thread give me a break...

I must confess Stradar that the first Rome TW and having to have a successful campaign as one of the 3 playable Roman factions before other factions were unlocked was a good system.
Of course some heretic,s will always want to campaign as one of the lesser cultures of the Time. No accounting for taste.
However The Title is ROME II and its main focus should be on Rome and its workings both in a political and military sense, plus its campaigns of conquest.
The rest of the factions playable or not are merely there to provide a challange to Rome and to survive if they can.

yes thank you It was a great system and yes Rome 2 will be a main focus on Rome but this max playable faction 8 is sad. I will have to live with it im sure and wait for DLC and such but id like to have other options like greek states sparta and so on. In my own opinion this feels limited in such a huge time in history. Hopefully some factions will be givein out with Pre-Orders!

I want to see this source, as I have had the same though as I am sure many other people have with the OP, yet people are stating that CA has said this and that with no evidence or any sources.

Then look at Jack Lusted previous posts in his profile. He said it multiple times in the first faction reveal and after.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

We are not planning on locking any playable factions from the start.

For the factions, just wait and see. I can't say anything more about the non-playable ones, just watch this space.

Just to re-clarify: We have never said that 'All factions will be playable'. We won't know who added that information to the Total War: ROME II Wikipedia page, but that is incorrect.
What we have said is that there will not be any locked factions at launch in the same way that the original Rome: Total War.

Also, we’re not ready to talk about post release support for Total War: ROME II, everyone is working hard on the main game, but there are no plans to remove any content from the game just to be sold separately.

As the thread has said, what we have confirmed today is 8 playable factions, with the Roman faction split into 3 families.

If you have a look over the thread you can see what we've said so far.

Thats 8 playable factions, with 3 famlies within the Roman faction, with more info will be revealed over the next few months.

As we give out more info, you should all get a better understanding of Total War: ROME II so watch this space.

Watch this space once the wiki comes out of hiding.

Thanks LestaT, I always end quoting you when people say we have no sources

I just save these links on notepad since a new threads and questions like this always pop out every now and then...

There are 8 playable factions, the other factions that are part of the game world are unplayable. Let's say they release DLC adding 3 playable factions.

So there are 11 playable factions. Are those the only factions in the game? they control everything?

Guess you have never played newer Total War from Empire onwards.

There's no more generic rebel factions. There will be 8 playable factions upon release. There will be many many other non-playable factions all over the map. Current estimate is 50-60 (though there's no actual confirmation on that). This is base on non playable factions for ETW, NTW & Shogun2.

They will not give to us any achievement if we win the campaing...they need money..they need DLC

And they will get it because most of us like their games so much that we will buy every DLC we can get.
But they don't force us, so there is nothing wrong about DLC's (at least for me)

DLC are the plague of the computer world!!!! Anyways if there are Pre-order Factions ill be sure to pre-order then.

once u wipe them off the map

"you".

[stradar1]

"you".

Thank you I will add to my list of words to use. Gosh what a nasty community this has become.

I actually quite liked the unlocking of factions from Rome 1 - I didn't even know how to edit the descr_strat until quite recently. It forced you to play lots of different factions and there was certainly a sense of achievement when unlocking a new faction.

Cannot see them changing the format from the previous games however. Its already been said anyway.

Sadly you are right. But the playable faction limit so far as it seems for right now is 8 and I think that is not enough. But we will see in the future if they add more to be playable. If not more money will be chucked out to Dlc I guess Sigh. I mean I know they ran away from faction unlocks after Rome 1 but im just trying to be positive about this game. But problem is I see the forums ablaze soon as the games released and its just 8 factions playable lol. Sounds like shogun 2 all over again.

DLC could be a good thing too, if it adds some extra features together with new faction that makes it more interesting to play. It is not that expensive whn you think about it...it is just annoying whn it takes away from modding. I was daydreaming about EB3 and RS3...so I guess the only real issue with DLC's that in order to make money they take away from game. Some people are buying games only becouse of mods or modding prospect. If CA used some effort to make it known about awsome modders in this community and mods, they might make more money on the game becouse of mods, than DLC's.

[eXistenZ]

unlocking them as in rome? you mean opening a text file and cut and paste? :p

[DeadlyPhoenix]

So, with other words, there are 10 choices at minimum to choose from?

Could be worse I guess
