    I would be for a detailed representation of all master areas.
    Examples:

    Haeduer, Senonen, Parisian, Leuker and Mediomatriker = new
    fraction group,

    Helvetier(3 pagi, Tiguriner...), Rauraker, Tulinger, Arverner, Sequaner etc. = new fraction group,

    Consuaneten, Likatier, Brigantier, Leunen, Rukinantes, Focuaneten, Vennoneter, Belaunen = new fraction group (Vindeliker),

    Goten, Lemovier, Gepiden, Turkolingen, Lakringen, Skiren, Bastarner (pagi Peukiner...), Rugier, Aestier...= new fraction group (Goten)

    Taurisker..... (Noriker)

    Skordisker....(Illyrer)

    Odrysen.....(Thraker)

    and many more....

    Are there actually borders for the enlargement of a new map ??

    Some trunks have then different units. So Germans trunks could differ in sign colors and painting. Historical sources for this would be the Nerthusstaemme (Avionen, Reudigner, Nuithionen etc..) at the Baltic Sea, to which applied.

    Further examples would be:

    Harier = the night fighters of the Wotan,
    Leuker = very good speerman,
    Goten = excellent cavalry
    Chatten = very good foot people (long hair)
    Chauken and Suionen = very good ships,
    Helvetier = Phalanx (your new animations please me here already very well)

    Or other characteristics:

    Narhanavalen (= very good dealers)
    Buren (good field farmers)
    Quaden (good fortress designers)
    Arverner (high reputation)
    Veneter (Pirates, dealer and sailors)
    Menapier (goose breeders)
    Usipeter/Tenkterer (= very good easy cavalry)
    etc..
