Iran playable faction

[Kirito Kurio]

I think they should let player Play as Iran in the campaign would be
and it is part world and I also want to play Iran faction in Rome 2

Iran didn't exist during this games time frame. Yes, there were Iranian peoples, and Indo-Iranians, but they lived in various areas like Parthia, Baktria (Greek spelling) Aria, and other Eastern Satrapies of the Seleucids. I would, however, agree they should be represented as units, like they were in the EB Mod for Rome 1.

Parthia. They are an eastern Iranian tribe. Pontus is similar, persians (Iranians) but they are culturally greek. They even have a trait "forsaken persian origin."

[Tacticat]

persia and ancient babylonians i believe are the makeup of iran.

parthia is a close bet.

anything with babylon in it, iran. (I know babylon is in iraq) also note, The state of Iraq was founded in 1920 by Great Britain.. before that the whole region was known as Mesopotamia

"Babylon was the capital of a small city state of Mesopotamia, named Babylonia, located in what is now Iraq, near the modern town of Hilla and on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river. Babylon was founded at the end of the 3rd millennium BC, and lasted through the 2nd century AD."

Babylonia never encompassed any of the territory that is now considered Iran.

No but their armies did defeat Elam (part of modern Iran) a few times, and Iranian tribes paid tribute to Assyria

What do you mean Babylonians are the make up of Iran? If you mean they were part of the Persian Empire that is true but Babylonians are culturally and ethnically not Iranian.

[Tacticat]

its people spread throughout the region durring its fall, bringing their culture all over Mesopotamia

Jup. And it would also be fun to play as Che Guevara in the battle against capitalism. Why don't they put that into the game?
And why not fight as the resistance against nazi Germany!?

Idiot.

[Kreud]

You mean Mesopotamia? If so, sure but first came the Babylonians then Seleucids which destroyed babylon and put the eastern factions onto its rule. Iran people would come from Parthia so if you're playing Parthia, youre technically playing Iran.

[Kirito Kurio]

it would be fun playing as parthia

i don't like wikipedia, but it sums up what you're saying.

"Parthia is a region of north-eastern Iran, best known for having been the political and cultural base of the Arsacid dynasty, rulers of the Parthian Empire. The name "Parthia" is a continuation from Latin Parthia, from Old Persian Parthava, which was the Parthian language self-designator signifying "of the Parthians" who were an Iranian people. In context to its Hellenistic period Parthia also appears as Parthyaea."
