Question about the Franks

[ZiegenPeter]

Well usually I play IJ only for the roman faction and when I play germanic factions I use IBFD RR.
But I wanted to chack out the franks and I don't know who did the changes on them, but I think taht person missed a few things, I saw at first glance.
I really like the new units and the fact that the franks can now muster auxilia units but I've never heard about the god "Mogos" and there is also a temple called "temple of healing temple".
So any one else noticed that?

I haven't played as the Franks so alas I can't say I have!

Nor I and its come to my attention today that thers a gap in my knowledge of Frankish history ,I like to think I am quiet well versed in Merovingian, Caroligian and even Ottonian ,but what of those early days ? when these tribes we have come to know as the Franks became the Franks ? I intend to fill this gap ,but does any one want to help ?

I have to admit that I am not an expert in Barbarian religions. If you can suggest an alternative then I would be happy to change it. And yes I have included a temple of healing as I believe most barbarians would have had some form of healing worship.

as for the new units, I'm glad you like them. There are some changes in Patch 5 which I believe better represent the Franks and Alemanni compared to other barbarian factions.

Well, I have Gregory of Tours on my bookshelf of course but haven't dipped into it in a while. Perhaps we should start up a separate Frank research thread?
