Well fitting situations

well the gauls and other barbarians like war a lot more than romans, its natural to adopt war-like tools and customs so Romans can better defend themselves. Gauls sacked Roma because they're too used to the ritual pushing 'war' that is hoplite warfare. (adopted from the Greek-like Etruscans, and city states of southern Italy)

Contrary to popular belief, they do not like war. Acts of bravery help to increase your fame a lot, which is why they are impetuous.

Sweboz are not bloodthirsty as well, they raid Rome for supplies...

well, it looks like that Pikemen was obviously some kind of Roman fans...

He must knows that the "Roman Empire" was finally absorbed by the Greeks as "Basileos ton Rhomaion"

Please drop the pro/anti-Roman rhetoric, guys.

Remember the EB motto: everyone is a barbarian to someone.

common ludens this(pikemans post) is one of the most bs posts i've read in ages, and used to follow a watch blogg for a boulevard magazine and moderated an offtopic section(I'm not boasting about this, more like a garbage collector :D )
we people who don't like romans have been VERY nice to Pikeman sofar.

well to not go entirely offtopic, I'd like to add that in my Pahlava campaign I got the MOT about at the same time that:
control of the tigris valley was cemented with the reformed gov in edessa.
the first unit of Givpanvars(I actually don'T train them as I prefer Pahlavan-i Zrehbaran but reputation is everything)
and most conveniently I also got my second noble HA-including-MIC on the western front ;) don't know why but I prefer them to the armored ones

not as cool I have to admit, but hey, no scripted (unit)reforms for the pahlavi

True, but Duguntz' comment wasn't exactly on the mark either.

But let's get back to topic.

pikeman, you seem top forget that the only barbarians in EB are Romans... stop to speak like that, the Romaioktonoi have been cool since a time, but with somebody spaming everywhere that romans are the heir of the world and that everybody else are barbarians, you'll only attract a holy romaioktonoi fire down on all your posts... i say that for you dude...
