Hmm...if we can be Sweboz, can there be several tribes at once, before we're united? Like, we cheat to get the whole of Germania, but there are several tribes, and we meet at certain times of the year for trade or battle or whatever. Then sometime in the future (hopefully not too quickly) we can begin to unite certain tribes. Perhaps far in the future someone will unite all the tribes, and bring destruction upon the entire world! It would be like a civil war straight away, and there would actually have to be a very strong leader to unite everyone, because if each tribe is ruled by a player they aren't likely to want to give up their power easily.
I think the Sweboz will make for a very unique PBM, where the point is to war against each other, and possibly unite in the future, rather than Carthage which I fear would be almost identical to the Roman one. We could either just be the Sweboz and split the income every turn, or we could move some of the more eastern factions that we are never going to come into contact with and make them into German states.
