Family tree

[Nihahs]

Hey guys,

I'm curious about the family tree in AE. Which roman family will be there in the campaign at start? Are there historic family members like Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus or other famous families like Julia or Junia? Who will be the leader of the Romans at start?

Good question. How is the republican senate going to be represented? Can the family tree represent the senior senators or something?

The tree will represent the family that you run, which I think will be the Julii, though don't quote me. Characters such as Scipio will be around as well as Caesar, Marc Antony ect... but this probably wont be something you see in our beta release this month.

What is the family setup for barbarian factions such as British and Gallic Nations? Historical figures where possible with random names scattered about? Minor point, Charlemagne was the first game to differentiate between Goidlic and Brthyonic Insular Celtic names, by finally removing the letter P from Irish names. This little nod went a long way. How will the naming go between factions? Everyone has Romanized names still or could we see faction specific spellings and names? Arminius is Hermann zee German?
