Rome

[LuiG]

Now I know I am probably gonna bring up an arkward issue but 2 years later from the current starting period The Romans kick the Etruscan kings out. Do you not think it would be cool to add them rather than the Locrians. Im not bothered if they dont get put in just inquiring. Other than that you could make Rome very uncontrolable

[Snevets]

Rome is to be quite uncontrable, yes. They have several of their own units, though since the Romans would not actually become influential for years to come, they do not get their own faction.

[Centurion-Lucius-Vorenus]

Meh, hopefully they're will be a Mini mod to make Rome its own faction.

[spirit_of_rob]

Rome is not liekly to be in any official release of Hegemonia.

As snevets pointed out Rome was simpley unimportant in our time period

Coupled with the fact that almsot every mod under the sun has Rome there is simple no viable reason for us to include them

[Eduorix]

If they add Rome they will make the Italian peninsula very interesting. As much as mainland Greece.

Also with all the scripting you can make the Romans as a counterfaction that appears as a revolt in Rome.

[Snevets]

Like I said, they were completely unimportant at the time, they wouldn't start really growing for a century and a half, so giving them faction status is totally unjustified. Plus it would set us back many, many steps in the development process to change out a faction for Rome, since the character locations, map ownerships, and most importantly unit lists would all have to be redone. We'd need to make all the units for them as well. Worst of all we'd need to take another much more important faction out of play to put Rome in, and I can't think of a single faction which isn't more justified as one than Rome.
