Possible Factions

[lobf]

Yes and the Chatii were one of the most warlike Germanic societies.

With their youth first having to make a kill before being able to remove a ring around their neck, and in EB to shave their beards.

But I've read in this book that it was actually misunderstood and that the youth were able to remove a ring from their neck and to remove the hair haning over the front head, thus having a pony tail backwards. He also said many sculptures of such Germanic soldiers were found.

And the Batavians were also former Chatii members (thus same customs as above) and were the most praised Auxillia of the Romans.

the celtic Thrakia looks rather interesting, although i really don't know much about the state of Thrace in 272 BC. did they even represent a unified political entity?

thanx, that was an interesting read and i always prefer factional opposition on anyone's border instead of eleutheroi. helvetic oposition in the Alps for the Romans and Celtic-Thace in the central Balcans for Makedonia and Epiros should go a great deal in acomplishing more accurate/ chalanging expansion patterns for the said factions and probably force the rome-epiros conflict to a more decisive conflict. in my current game it's 200 BC and the SPQR has conquered 1/2 of France while not taking a single Epirotes city while the Epirotes were compleatly driven off the Balkans by the Makedoinian's who got as far north as the Gethae capitol .
