Which factions do you want added in the future?

[jtfjtfjtf]

Which factions do you want to be added to the game as DLC? Please list reasons.

Personally i'd like all 100-something factions to be playable, but some in particular i'd really like:

Seleukids - The have a pretty unique starting position as a large power with threats on all sides. They were fun to play as in EB.
Dacians/Getai - I like falxes.
Maurya - They would have to be added to the map but doing a reverse Alexander with them would be a unique experience.
Galatia - Celts in the east would be fun to play as.

Dacians/Thracians because that seems to be where factions are scarce

Iberian peninsula faction because same as above

Syracuse

[Sherm]

Seleucids
Dacians
Lusitans
one beetween Sabean or Desert Arabs
Syracuse maybe
Roxolans as Sarmatian faction

[Argon Viper]

Sarmatians. With a completely different playstyle as befits a nomadic people.

[jamreal18]

Dacia, lusitani, thrace, illyria, scyThia, pergamon, armenia, bactria, seleucid...

[Aymer de Valence]

Seleucids, Numidia and Bactria

[ptoss1]

Bactria
Ethiopia
India
China
Aliens

Ok, srsly I think CA will release two DLCs in the future.
One will be three new British Isles factions to accompany the Iceni.
The second one will be Scythians/Thracians/Dacians.
It fits with their new "cultural" DLC packs.

i think they will go for iberians and Dacians/Thracians first as their spots are pretty empty, but its CA nobody can predict them.


nobody expects the Creative inquisition

I believe they'll go in that order, or at least fill out the north east and British Isles or else playing Iceni and Parthia will be quite boring.
The third DLC pack will probably be African nations since they're the least popular.
I'm not sure where Bactria fits in, but I really want CA to include them.

There are going to be factions in every region like Shogun. All of them won't be playable, however.

[ChairmanCrassus]

1. Seleucids
2. Pergamon
3. Iberians
4. Numidians
5. Scythians
6. Syracuse
7. Massilia

[sleepyx732]

Scythia
Iberia
Seleucid
Dacia
And for the sake of a unique starting location.. Rhodes!

But wait.. notice there is only 1 Eastern faction out of the 12 total factions.. Parthia. Judging by the wiki, Pontus won't be considered Eastern this time around as they seem to can't refrain from calling it a "Hellenistic state" and a collection of "Greek colonies" and also "However, the forsaking of its Persian origins means that eastern cultural influences within its provinces yield diminished public order benefits." We know Egypt is of the Greco-Roman culture judging by the look of their buildings and unit cards. It's likely Carthage is as well. In Rome 1 each of those factions had their own culture, Carthaginian and Egyptian respectfully.

So..

Armernia
Bactria
Arabia..?

Bringing the total faction count to 20. 10 Greco-Roman, 6 Barbarian, 4 Eastern.

Pretty sure they said in one of the E3 interviews that they count Pontus as an Eastern faction.

[Historyaswas]

Numidia, Seleucid

[GideonAI]

I have a few on my list, but I'd really like it if you could play as the Caledonii or the Scoti.

[HigoChumbo]

I'll look a bit after number one here... but i'd be a really, really happy person if the Bastetani (or Contestani), the Turdetani and the Celtiberi were amongst the factions -playable or not- in Hispania.´

Besides that, if we are strictly talking about playables here, i'd really like to play as Syracuse and Bactria.
