Celtic overpowered!

[SaFe]

Rather the argument is that by the time the German tribes started seriously encroaching on Gallic and Celtic central regions they had a relatively smooth sailing for the exact same reason as the Romans - their opponents were weakened by centuries of internecine strife (above and beyond the tolerable attrition level imposed by the tradition of minor inter-tribal raiding and fighting inherent in the Celtic "hero culture") whereas the invaders had only grown stronger, in the case of the Germans quite literally at the expense of the Celts.

Surely the celts were weakened but it seems you forget one thing. They were no united germanic tribes - they too fought endlessly against each other and so we could also argue that they had been weakened.
Just look as example at the decade-long war the Hermundurii and the Chatti fought. Granted, that was well after the conquering of celtic lands, but even at the time we talk about the germanic tribes were not united and Semnones fought against Harudes for example, though they both were members of the suebian federation. Now let's think for a moment about germanic tribes who didn't belong to those rather loose federation...
It seems we talk ever about the weakened gauls, but forget that they didn't fought against overhelming numbers of a united foe. This is simply not the case.
There was no "Germans" as it is often said - just tribes who struggled against each other AND gallic tribes too.


BUT as i don't want to "going away further" from the original topic of this thread, i contacted The Tank (Jasper) already and try to discuss with him some minor and major points in the display of the Sweboz.
Most are still part of the Sweboz faction - (introduction, names, wonders and the basic ideas of most units) from the time i was faction coordinator and the changes he made after taking over the job.

This thread though was once just about the Celts in game statswise and so it should remain on this focus.
