The Slavs also appear as a new faction in 410 AD. Roman cities can also rebel and join the larger rebel faction (Roman Western Empire Rebels or Roman Eastern Empire Rebels respectively) with whom full diplomatic actions can take place. Exampls are the Romano-British Faction, which forms if the Romans are pushed out of Britannia, and the Ostrogoths, which form when a Goth-Controlled city rebels against that faction. A faction as such because of horde mode can only be destroyed when all of the royal family members are killed.Įmergent Factions – Through the course of the game, new factions can emerge. Most of these units will immediately disband and settle in the city the faction captured and decides to occupy. Horde-Specific units will join your armies, such as unique cavalry and infantry units. The faction's armies also swell due to the whole population of their faction rising up to move. The faction either chooses to sack a city, which means they continue to move as a horde, or occupy, which means the horde settles down in that territory. When in horde mode the faction has no cities and no income, but has the ability to sack captured cities (similar to razing a city, but more complete and resulting in more loot). It is meant to represent a mass migration of a people out of the steppes of Asia looking for more prosperous lands in the Roman Empire or in the case of some factions, to look for safety from the Huns who have pushed them out of their own lands. Horde Mod e - All the nomadic factions such as the Franks, Vandals and Goths, to name a few, have the ability to raise a horde of troops when their last settlement is either taken or abandoned.
