Since CA announced that the Germans will be (IIRC) a playable faction, I was wondering how much of the map they would take up, and which NPC nations would be on their borders.

I'm assuming that since the map is a reconstruction of Europe (and hopefully a large portion of Asia), the map won't just stop at included factions, and will have NPC nations (that are uninvadeable) to serve as the boundries for the player. An example would be something like Bactria and Arabia bordering off of Seleucid.

In my reading though, I've yet to find what nations/factions were on Germany's non-Roman front. The Norse?
