Which Unplayable Factions Do You Want To Play As?

[jtfjtfjtf]

The Official Rome 2 map has been released with all the factions and their provinces.

http://maps.totalwar.com/

Which unplayable factions do you think should be added?

Africa looks like it can be a lot of fun if the Cyrenaica and Garamantia were added as factions. Carthage has 2 client states and Egypt has 1.

Seleucia would be a lot of fun as well with their numerous client states. That entire area is very interesting, particularly with Baktria and Armenia being decently established.

Based on the Mercenary units listed they're broken down into 20 overall cultural groupings. I think factions that allow you to play as at least one of these cultural groupings would be good.

Briton
Gallic
Celts
Germanic
Italian
Illyrian
Greek
Thracian
Dacian
Sarmetian
Scythian
Bactrian
Parthian
Persian
Eastern
Arabian
Sabean
Egyptian
Numidian
Iberian

[Mary The Quene]

Seleucid Faction on it's own and their vassals

[Darth_Revan]

I think playing as Bactria would be a fun.

[Beregond]

Seleucids, Bactria, Scythia, some Iberian tribe (Lusitani perhaps)

[Igor85]

Seleucids, Bactria, Scythia, some Iberian tribe (Lusitani perhaps)

Exactly that. Maybe also a tribe in Dacia.

[Chris1982]

Seleucids, Bactria, Scythia, some Iberian tribe (Lusitani perhaps)

That would be my choices, too!

[Rebel_Caesar]

Cherusci

[Legion_IX]

Bactria

[RGA]

Sarmatia. Mounted warfare is fun.

[tono4850]

Numidian

[MaceHead]

nomadic Scythian faction. Very interesting culture and it would have new and different gameplay mecanics

[Arokel]

Numidians, Celtiberians, and Picts

[rohirrimelf]

Aedui. Because they are at war with the Arverni at the start of the game and were good allies for Ceasar until Verginatoris (must have spelled this wrong) sturrid things up back there. This might be an interesting faction to play as in the first 150 turns or so.

[Mary The Quene]

Seleucid empire
Pergamon
Bactria
Vassals of the seleucid empire
Knossos
Rhodos
Blemmyes
Nova carthago

[Revan The Great]

Seleucid empire
Pergamon
Bactria
Vassals of the seleucid empire
Knossos
Rhodos
Blemmyes
Nova carthago

First three are pretty spot-on for me. After that, it's probably a Thracian tribe, Syracuse, or the Etruscans.

[Grimbold]

Any of the Iberian tribes

[Rhomphaiaphoros]

The ones I'd like to see, in order of importance to me:

1) The Seleucid Empire (this one should be obvious)
2) Celtiberians/Arevaci (possibly the best starting position in Iberia, along with the widest variety of units there)
3) Dacia (as obvious as the Seleucids, really)
4) Scordisci (a unique mix of Celts and Illyrians, in an interesting location to boot)
5) Pergamon (the forgotten Successors need to have their story told)
6) Galatians (Celtic madness in Anatolia, what's not to like?)
7) Gallaeci (or Cantabrians, but preferably Gallaeci because of their location)
8) Boii (long live the Eastern Celtic Empire!)
9) Armenia (one of my favourites in the old RTW)
10) Belgae (the bigger brother of the Iceni, and with a more interesting starting position)
11) Veneti (SHIPS.)
12) Helvetii (CELTIC PHALANXES.)
13) Sarmatians (the steppe peoples are under-represented at the moment)
14) Any little Thracian tribe still alive (because... well because RHOMPHAIAS.)
15) Bactria (not a personal favourite, but I figured they should not be left out)

EDIT: "Corrections" in accordance with the new map:

3) Getae
10) Atrebates
11) Guess that's Namnetes, now
13) Scythia
14) Odrysia/Triballi

[Spartacus041]

Bactria
Armenia
Sarmatia
Dacia

[HusKatten]

Saba. I love arabic history and the arabian peninsula itself, and their presumably light roster will be a challenge to master.

[SamueleD]

Massalia, Galatia, Helvetii, Bactria seems cool too.
