They were quite active during the Caesar's campaigns but i'm not sure about before that. On reflection the Suessiones would be a better choice for a Belgic faction being very active in belgium and the surrounding regions (going so far as raiding and settling in southern britian).

You keep talking of a Belgic faction but the Belgae on their own would be a faction!

That would be no more historically accurate than the "Gauls" of vanilla RTW.

or the iberians in the same game since there where at least 4 major groups in iberia (not counting the punic´s)

i defend the nervii cause they where strong and comio made them an amazing people altough after revisiting my sources their strenght grew after the romans had destroyed 60k troops of another belgic tribe wich i can´t remember in an island batle in the midle of a swamp so maybe those "fools" who lost 60k in the swamps instead of retreating to fight another day (they where more celtic and that was a celtic tradition to stick and fight i believe)

not sure about their name maybe someone could point them out to me

Ofcourse not, the Belgae was a Confederation just like the Sweboz!

There were confederations of Belgae tribes and the like, but the Belgae are not and have never been a single political entity.
