I get along with them, though I'm still far away from being a "Good Tactician/Leader of Men" etc.).

Well, back to topic: I cannot agree with those hypothesis(ae ?). Why do certain players conquer half of the map with those underpowered factions? Are they cheating? Or are they just using their economics/troops/diplomacy in a better way than others?

No offence, but I was just wondering why ...

For me Treverer it was that EB wanted to make the units as historical as possible. It's not so much a faction issue for me as it is a historical unit accuracy issue. I felt from my readings that there were some inaccuracies in the Celtic units and some minor ones of the German units.
