What is the most influential goverment types during EB time frame?

[Atraphoenix]

I voted for all of them just to annoy Atraphoenix.... I kid, I kid!

I wish I could add all, but I will add top 9.

By the late EB era, Celts were more proto-feudal than tribal.

Saying the Saba are a tribal chiefdom is an insult.

[Moros]

The Sabaean commonwealth is not really a chiefdom in the sense that the scope we se here is larger and encompasses rather a lot of tribes/clans and other similar like small entities. A confederation would be a better choice. Though one must not under estimate the influence and importance of the tribes/clans at this stage in their history. And it's importance was still growing. Saba in this period was at a historical lowpoint when it comes to power and unity. Possibly not even independant. It's the time between the dominance of Saba (and the brief dominance of Qatabân) and the rise of the Himyar. A period in which the Ethiopians had a lot influence. While South Arabia was only growing weaker and more divided.

However when talking about Saba or the Sabaeans, a tribal chiefdom is not too far from the truth. But this would only encompass the people of this period living in and very close to Maryab. Nothing more.

Perhaps Saba might not be such a good choice for a faction for this sub mod. But if you are to include a South Arabian kingdom, a confederation would be the best representation, whichever you want to portray.

Confederation would be fine.
I shall give all gov4 gov3 autonomy as vassal state. but for other govs namely gov 1 and and gov 2 I shall not add conversion bonuses but shall make them (gov1 gov2 ) necessity for dominant type of gov.
What about rebels?
I am planning to reflect them according to their culture namely celtic rebels will have tribal chiefdom nomads will have nomadic confederacy.
I shall not mess with EBBS so just leave republic for romans?
