    Thanks for this.

    I role-played a certain chieftain (Tantalos) subduing everybody around by the will of Endovellikos (it's in my unfinished, not posted Annals of Lusotana), setting the ground for clearing Iberia from the Poeni, defeating the Arverni confederation and tackling Roma, eventually eradicating them too; in the meantime founding his own legacy and dynasty.

    Ah, religious warfare is it? It's actually a neat coincidence that I was actually discussing this sort of affair with another member the other day. The discussion was around if wether or not the destruction of Conistorgis, the capital of the Cynetes - a celticised tribe in south of modern Portugal - was motivated in part by their monotheistic ways, as they worshipped a single snake-God apparently. Of course we will never know, but they seemed tolerant and accepting of other tribes' gods when they didn't outright adopt them, so why act differently here? They also didn't raze that many towns, unlike the Romans, but here they seem to adopt a different attitude, so maybe there's something to the theory.

    Well, not exactly religious warfare but rather religious flavoured opportunism. My Tantalos & co. wanted to become the sole hegemon of whatever they could reach and apparently made up a legend to fit their agenda.

    Still, you come up with great bits of information each time. Thanks again!

    Sarcasm,
    Your post (#3) has some good info. Any ideas on how I might work this into the game? Role-playing or otherwise? Any English language books on the Lusotani in the EB time period?

    Long may the barbarians continue, I pray, if not to love us, at least to hate one another,seeing that, as fate bears remorselessly on the empire, fortune can offer no greater boon now than discord amoung our enemies - Tacitus

    Hmmm, dude you already asked me that before in the "Army Strength" thread, and I responded then, so check it out.

    I think I'll finish off my campaign first, then type the rest. Doesn't really cope with my laziness but the Spring coming helps.
