Arminius' Life
But I found a Site with Arminius' Life, so I can post more exact Data:
This is Arminius' Family-tree, including his Parents Sigimerus and Ingoluna, as well as his Son Thumelicus and brother Flavus (and the parents of his wife Thulsnada).
Arminius' Life ->
17 B.C. Arminius is born
8 B.C. His Parents agree to sent him to Rome.
From 4-6 A.D. Arminius serves in the Army of Tiberius as a Militery Tribune (that what the Character Maximus from Gladiator was, if someone might ask) for his exellent Duty he got the Roman Citizenship (civitas Romana).
After 7 A.D. Arminius returned to Germania libera (eventually through the Death of his Father Sigimerus). He becomes the Leader of the resistance against the Germania-politics of Varus while his Brother Flavus still serves in Tiberius' Army.
9 A.D. Arminius prepared the Trap in the "saltus Teutoburgiensis". Varus' Army was defeated in a giantific Battle that waged three Days.
After 9 A.D. Thulsneda (the Daugther of the roman friendly Lord Segestes) was kidnapped by Arminius. Also many other germanic Leaders preferred peace with the Romans.
* Edit: Thulsneda's and Arminius' marriage was planned before the Varus Battle but "cancelled" by Segestes, so Arminius got his wife.
Tiberius and Germanicus continue the War against Arminius.
15 A.D. Arminius' Party became Dominant and enclosed Segestes in his "Castle". Germanicus liberated him from the Siege and also captured the swanger Thulsneda who wanted to see her Father a last time.
15 till 16 A.D. Arminius fought even more agressive because of the Reason below.
The Romans end their Warfare east, through they saw they could not succseed.
19 A.D. Arminius died through a Conspiracy of Rivals including his own Brother Flavus assasinated him.

Putting his Life in a Historic Campaign:
"The Tribune" 5 A.D. - A fictious Scenario in which Arminius leads Germanic Auxilia and Roman Units against other Germanics to display his Service in the Roman Army.
"The Varus Battle - Day 1" 9 A.D. - Day 1 of the Varus Battle, surround the Romans and enclose them in the Vally so they can't flee. Surrvive 20 Minutes against their will to break out.
"The Varus Battle - Day 2" 9 A.D. - Day 2 of the Varus Battle, romans try a breakout. Smash those Units who try it
"The Varus Battle - Day 3" 9 A.D. - Day 3 of the Varus Battle, Varus and most of the important Officers already did sucide. Now it's Judgement Day: Go in and defeat the dismoralised rest of Varus' Army
"Siege of Segestes' Castle" 15 A.D. - Arminius storms a Minor City defended by Roman and Germanic Units... You only have 15 Minutes of Time to win, otherwise Segestes will hide in the highest Tower. Can you do what Arminius could not accomplish? (Very difficult Scenario!
"Revenge" 15 A.D. - A Battle of Arminius and Tiberius' Troops, take revenge for the kidnapping of Thulsneda and Thumelicus Very Bloody Battle...

Quoting myself... There should be two Germanic Factions to display Arminius' fight on Rome and other Germanic Tribes also in normal Campaign. Like Golden Horde in Medieval appeared, the Allemannens should appear in 9 A.D. as a Faction that differs from the Original Germanics. By giving them most of the Germanic Provinces, exepted some at the Border and in Boemia, he turnes enemy of the remaining pro-roman Lords automatically.
But they should be named diffrently: Segestes-Germanics and Arminius-Germanics (like we have Scipio, Julius, Brutus etc. Romans). My Tip: The Pink Germanic you have now are getting the Segestes-Germanics, and a new Faction with "Viking-white" as the Arminius-Germanics appears after 9 A.D. ...
