Good point. I'm not really into ancient history (more into modern) and found barbarians plain boring, even when I played Julii I swung around and took on Macedon. I'm really looking forward to taking on English, French, Spanish et al (admittedly as HRE who arn't around nowadays but still, basically germans :P)
