    Default Caledonia Faction

    Does anyone here really think that the Caledonians/Picts would be a major enough faction to warrant inclusion in a Barbarian DLC Culture pack or something like that. As a fan of Scottish culture, I would just love to see the Caledonians conquer a great empire in Britannica and beyond. Maybe it's just me being unrealistic, but I would love to see their inclusion.

    I wouldn't mind that, but after we get Thrace, Dacia and Illyria.

    And Gallaeci, Lusitanians and Celtiberians

    on topic, i would really love another faction in the british isles, it would be too easy to only have small opponents against the Iceni there

    I accept, King Cheesyx I guess both of these factions won't be playable, so should start thinking who else to choose until then

    Honstly who wouldnt want to play as the picts/caledonians.

    Mausolos nice bit of Calgacus there! Shame they got slaughtered.
    Thanks, even though Tacitus probably made it up Their position would be very interesting, too, to start off at almost the northern most point of the map.

    The Scots (Scotti tribe) came from Ireland around the period of the original BI, so I guess they would start there. The Picts would be in Scotland, or if there's going to something in earlier, it should be the Caledonians/Maetae as a general broad faction.

    Would love to see any of them to be honest - the British territories are looking very empty!!

    They've announced that there will be no more generic "rebel" faction, so if Scotland is on the map, the Caledonians will probably be a faction; although probably not playable without modding.

    My hope is that even if they aren't available as a playable faction they will still be represented nicely by mercenaries and/or auxiliaries. If either of these were included, I would form an entire legion out of them, no matter the cost.

    Shame the Irish and Caledonian factions are already united. Not enough regions up there. You cant play a campaign as one of them and work to unite their little areas. They are already united.

    In the new screenshots, there seems to be 3 factions based in Britain, one in the north, perhaps that is a Caledonian faction of some description?
