Is it arguable that the Roman provincial system failed in Germany? I mean that they were unable to establish it there, because it simply wasn't a "Type II"-worthy area?
I know allied states were established in Mauretania (just read that in Tacitus' Annales) and along the Syrian frontier up to Armenia which was never anything like a settled province even for the Byzantines. IIRC there were two tiers of rule in Britannia too, with proper Roman colonies in the SoutEast and dependant tribal centres North and West. Likewise Tiberius put in client rulers in Thrace, but of course all that is just after the EB period.
Anyway my dimly remembered classical studies is not any basis to challenge a decision by the team, they have done a very thorough job on this mod.
I guess if I want to really fancy things up to my liking I can shut up and mod it my own way.
