only thing missing for me will have to come with mods. I was hoping the sea peoples would also get minor factions to play as and I really want a playable nomadic Habiru faction that can use the sea peoples mechanics.
The wording on the dynasty syistem seems to indicate characters will be able to form part of other factions' families. I wonder how they will implement this. Will you be able to, say, become pharaoh as a greek or mesopotamian, like, "renouncing" your own faction's culture?
That would be very fun! I know marriages can be arranged in the diplomacy menu, and that it shows the factions in the Dynasty Tree, so I think it could totally be possible
