Fan-based map progression thread

Found these, they are a bit small sorry :S



In EBI that would be the region of Numantia, bit smaller though...



All those tribes, which archaeology places in the early-mid 3rd century BC are situated between the rivers where it says Belgium in the map, which is pretty far from the Rhine.
I think Belgica is going to be redrawn in EBII (from moros' map, I can see two red dots, which should be ports), hopefully there's a landlocked province in the obscured area, otherwise that map is kinda saying no to the Belgae :P

well the map wouldn't include the undecided factions
and since we all know that the arevaci will be in the first release ;) this doesn't exactly exclude the belgae i'd say

herm the arevaci controlled 3 oppida being numantia the most well known and they shared celtiberia with 6 other tribes with diferent levels of intermingling and alliance that map either doesn´t show numatia (hey i don´t know it´s name in keltic) or the amount of oppidas/setlements they controlled seems exagerated in that map

in those regards the keltik and germanic social organisation seem similar since they prefered to live in smaller more scatered groups instead of great aglomerations where disease could wipe them out completly

[Arjos]

In that map Numantia should be Arekoratas (the oppida is in the north east of modern Soria). Rest are both arevacian and other oppida which they subjugated or inter-mixed with.

The Celtiberi as a whole settled an ever greater area:



Of course most of the sources write about the 2nd century BC wars and the celtiberian confederacy was formed around the mid 3rd century BC. The Arevaci in 272 BC would be controlling a smaller western portion of that land (archaeology indicates an eastern movement by the Arevaci, which culminated with the aforementioned confederacy).

gracias it seemed something was off beteween the information provided and my sparse knowledge of the tribal relations

[stratigos vasilios]

Wow, nice Arjos!

With the new preview I thought I might dig up this thread.
When I now look at the gaps on the map (The Areuakoi included) there is definitly something lacking in the eastern balticum. This is only from a gameplay point of view, I don´t know if there are any other powerful enough tribes in that area, that would earn a faction slot. And I still think that the Belgae or a faction in Media would be cool.
