Why did not you make Ethiopia faction

[ekdqn]

I want ethiopia :\

[Tigernams]

There is a limited number of culture slots in Med II. If an Ethiopian faction was to be included then they would need to be shoved into another culture slot, and thus have inappropriate buildings, character portraits, etc.

I think the general idea for the EB team is that a action should be done right or not at all.

I am sure the region will be well represented in regional units (cavalry, swordsmen, archers and spearmen) though perhaps not all in the first release.

How about just no, you seem to want ethiopia no matter what, but it's probably not going to happen. Play Saby'n and use an all ethiopian army with an ethiopian general. Boom, ethiopia.

On giving this topic serious consideration and deep thought, the EB2 team has decided that ekdqn is correct. We will quickly get to work removing SPQR from the game to give Ethiopia a slot and culture dedicated entirely to itself.

That is very great news, the Great Leader is pleased with your statement.

Who gives a crap about these so called Romans, they're actually made up from an extreme bdsm fetish.

This thread has served its purpose.

Well...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushite

Without considering wikipedia as a master source, we can say that kushite faction is always forgotten in the classic area games. The only mod I know for now having them is De Bello Mundi.

It is an interesting culture, and they sure where not nabateans or sab'yn.

Without going in the allegedly "game" of the op, and even if I am really glad the new factions on EB2 where chosen that way, I must say I regret the numerous greek/hellenic factions in EB, compared to the numerous other factions that could have been implanted.

- Makedonia
- Epeiros
- Koinon Hellenon
- Seleukid Empire
- Ptolemaioi
- Baktria
- Pontos (semi-helenic)
- Pergamon
- Bosporan Kingdom

9 hellenic factions on a total of 28 factions... Almost one third of the factions is hellenic culture.

I understand the high role of hellenic culture in the area, but adding some, even if I will have real fun with them, seems to me those slots could have been used for other cultures.

Kushites, yes. But why not Belgae ? (Well, indeed there is a lot of celtic/germanic culture in EB2, I concede that point)

I mean... Kushites had taken egypt and was a great empire for some times, then loses but kept beeing a important economic faction in that area untill some AD time ! (out of the range of EB) They had their own alphabet, resisted the romans according to sources, and had prosperity, economic and military power...

So... I don't shay EB2 team should do it, but I say the idea is not illogical, in fact it could have been done.

I think the point is that there is a difference between a culture and a faction slot. A culture determines what a whole range of buildings will look like in a city, FM portraits, etc. A faction slot just borrows the culture.

Hence, you are not using up extra culture slots by having multiple factions within a culture.

At least, that's what I'm reading from other posts. The OP is a troll.
