Roma Surrectum 2.0: Cimbri Faction Preview

[saxdude]

They are playing on the misticism and terror caused by the germanians, romans, gauls and their enemy in general made them out to be big monsters.

Wow, this looks amazing. Seems like a lot of hard work went into this and it is well researched and presented.

However, I have one issue, if you can call it that. This seems to be more of a general Germanic faction than a pure Cimbrian faction, which I noticed after the Batavi and the Canenefatae were included, who were Romanized tribes who did not really get written about until the Batavian Revolt in 69 AD, while on the other hand what we know from the Cimbri comes from around 113-101 BC. That's almost a 200 year difference, kinda like the Creative Assembly including the Iceni as a faction in Rome II haha, the locations are also fairly different.

Other than that, keep up the good work.

Well every merc unit is available for the entire time frame of 300+ years.

Certain legions have a trip mechanism before they can be recruited.

Setting the same parameters for different mercs or peoples would be maddening.

Post # 60 may shed some light on who or what the Cimbri may have been, or just confuse the issue more.
The Works of Tacitus: The Oxford Translation, Revised, with Notes, Volume 2 - search Cimbri...

Read the notes on those pages, very interesting.


The travels of these people most assuredly made for contact with other tribes. The Batavi were originally Chatti but broke away as did the Mattiacians.

It's eye-candy and for the pure enjoyment of the player.
