    Default Getic Government Types

    Could someone who is in the know please explain the difference between "Getian" and "Getic?" I understand that "Getia" refers to the region and "Getai" refers to people from the region, but the source text tossed Getic and Getian around without any real sense of context.

    Thanks!

    Getian Government Types

    Getic Tribe\n(requires Homeland Government Resource)\n\nMuch benefit awaits us should the basileos unite our divided tribes under one banner. Such a lengthy process begins by occupying the central dava of this region with a powerful and loyal garrison. Over time the region's tribes grow to respect the basileos and look upon his strength with pride. Tribes send their young warriors to the dava where they are taught the Getic ways of war, but more importantly they learn loyalty to the basileos and return to their tribes with a sense of one people. This helps foster a sense of order, which in turn improves trade. There are few limits to Getic innovation with such surroundings.\n\nHISTORICAL NOTES: Though difficult to accurately depict Getic tribal society, this government represents the faction's historically inhabited territory. Due to influences from southern Thrace and the East, Getic royalty was much more despotic than their Gallic or Germanic counterparts.

    A Getic Tribe is slow to establish in a Thracian Homeland province but boasts all building and troop types.

    Getic Allied Tribe\n(requires Expansion Government Resource)\n\nThe differences between Getai and southern Thracians are not insurmountable, but significant enough to allow a feeling of separate identities. The basileos' garrisons in this region are seen as “Getai” by local tribes, who view themselves as an occupied people. This stifles the expansion of local tribes, but the central authority of the basileos is respected, if grudgingly. The occupied tribes also have a greater degree of autonomy in their military affairs. The long Thracian tradition of mercenary service provides no shortage of battle-hardened men throughout the region who the basileos may elect to call to war.

    The Getic Allied Tribe allows for most building and troop types in a Thracian Expansion province.

    Getic Foreign Client Tribe\n\nThe basileos places conquered tribes or states under the authority of loyal Tarabostes. Their status grants the locals a relatively independent approach to economic and military policy, even though they must bring their affairs before a Getai foreign noble for approval. Consequently the populace resists attempts to bring Getic ways of life to the region, but troops fielded here are culled from men already blooded in the fighting arts.

    A Getic Foreign Client Tribe retains most troop types but offers little building selection.

    {type4_dacia} Nomos Symmachos Autonomos
    {type4_dacia_desc}
    Getic Allied Free Region\n\nThis region contains peoples conquered by the Getai and are placed under the authority of indigenous nobles who swear loyalty to the distant basileos. Their autonomy allows engagement in local conflicts or mercenary work, and an independent trading policy with regions not engaged in conflicts with the Getai. The tribute they pay for these privileges is higher, fostering resentment in their attitudes towards the basileos' true authority.\n\nSTRATEGY: It is better to establish Getic Allied Free Regions in provinces with large populations and advanced buildings rather than small towns with limited development.

    Getic Allied Free Regions quickly provide economic benefits but offer minimal troop and building selection.
