    BTW, Moros np mate (let's finish this like gentlemen, in the field of battle) LOL
    I believe he was addressing the comment about being aggressive towards Guerrer de Moixent, not yourself, Torres.

I wrote that in reference to the "Features" page, in it's "Factions" section, where it says: "Spain remade into the Lusotannan or Lusitanians representing perhaps the strongest and most warlike Iberian tribe."
    When I saw it, I thought it was a strange wording, since Spain didn't exist back then, and the Lusitanians weren't Iberians (although they were a tribe from Iberia, which brings me back to the whole idea I was talking about above).
    Yes, that reference is due to the Rome Total War vanilla faction being named Spain (which of course is an utterly ridiculous name for the period). The team is trying to explain to the average vanilla RTW player that the Lusitanians are the new name for "Spain" in this mod. This inaccuracy is on Creative Assembly for naming their original faction that in the first place.

    Now, I don't know much about the ethnicities of the Iberian peninsula, but I looked at your map (very interesting btw) and I did not see an Iberian ethnicity listed. I did see an Iberian linguistic group listed, and as far as I could tell, the Lusitani were included as part of that group. Am I missing something?
