    I - besides other important aspects - merely doubt that the EBII Team has really managed to accumulate research of sufficient quality and quantity to adequately 'flesh out' a second/third proto-germanic tribe - as a distinct, unique playable faction - specific Germanic sources are nonexistent, specific Graeco-Roman sources are very sparse and of doubtful quality, they must be reconciled (stereotypes of 'barbarians',...) with the still relatively sparse archaeological record,... It just seems very unlikely for the 'scholarly' EBII Team to found a entire 272BC Cimbri faction merely on rather questionable hypotheses/conjectures and be actually able to seriously justify their decision.

    EDIT: 'important aspects' roughly correspond to Horatius Flaccus' post below.... ;)
