Countdown to Open Beta - Eleutheroi

Will there be an army from the Belgae that's lead by Ambiorix? He was a famous leader that once ambushed and slaughtered a whole roman legion

Ambiorix is so far out of our starting date timeframe that we can only guarantee him as a spawning general amongst the Aedui (where his is one of our many male names) and the Eleutheroi, depending on the region the general is spawned in.

P.S. Ambiorix was okay, but Julius Civilis beats him hands down

Was he the little guy in the comic, or the fat one? I assume your talking about that weird French comic, correct?

Sounds like it eh? -ix is simply an often-heard suffix of Gallic names.

No, we're not talking 'bout cunning Asterix or that gangsta Obelix, but about a real Belgae chieftain, who forged a confederacy against Julius Caesar and annihalated a couple of legions here and there before he got pwned by Caesar.

I guess I didn't pay attention when we did De Bello Gallico

Oh. Heh, in French class, I always used to read those comic books instead of doing my work...

Yeah, ranix is great for an @sshole who wants to shag objects

On a more serious note: the barbarians should pay a bigger role then they did in RTW vanilla, IMHO.

Don't you think it would make the game more interesting to, say, stop the Gallic army from taking Greece? fighting the same armys every time gets boring fast.
