Later on we realized it was all just too confusing, so we changed the name of the forum back to IBFD. So, RR is actually IBFD 8.0.

* This is how it was originally planned:
IBFD 7.03
IBFD 7.04 ( cancelled due to its instability )
RR 8.0

Keep up the great work Joar, Gaiten and many others. Its a wonderful thing the IB team has kept this going and all the mods on the forum

I mean, it would be a shame not to see some of the places where we could trample those wonderful Sassanid units of yours with our proper Roman legions

You want me to have the Romans trample the Sassanids???

You by any chance have any previews for roman cataphracts/clibanarii? Would be nice to see some.

Maybe after next.

The next will be ...

demagogos nicator
Unit looks amazing, can not wiat defeat Narses with these guys

However, I am not sire it is correct to use Greuthungi as a synonym to Ostrogoths, it is very probable that former Greuthungi formed large part of the later Ostrogoths but as far as I know modern historians are still cautious to refer to them as to the same people.

Who said that the Greuthungi were a synonym for the Ostrogoths? There some more tribes being part of the Ostrogoth tribal confederacy ...

The description under the unit:

The Greuthungi (Ostrogoths, Gleaming Goths or Eastern Goths), in distinction to the Thervingi (Visigoths, Noble Goths or Western Goths), ...

No fear demagogos, it's Gäiten! We have just to love him.

**Gäiten** · February 07, 2015, 12:54 PM

There are some more tribes as to the Bastarnae.

i really love the research around very unit (original name, equipment, even morale and social status...).

**demagogos nicator** · July 26, 2015, 03:54 PM

Great job

Enjoy!

Comments are most appreciated and might motivate me to do more mini previews ...

Wonderful unit Gaiten! Thanks!

Interesting the Niederstotzingen worn by this noble warrior! All in all, it looks right, The Burgundians had had to deal with Huns very closely.

The Nibelungen are at the heart of the most ancient Migartion's Saga, Attila, Siegfried, Brunhild, Hagen, Das Rheingold, Götterdämmerung, .. the Nibelungenlied!

" - See ye yonder, comrade, my brother stand before the Hunnish warriors amid a rain of blows? Friend, save my brother, or ever we lose the knight. -
.. Of all the kinsmen of the Huns within the hall, not one of these remained alive. Thus the clash of arms died out, since none strove with them longer. The lusty knights and bold now laid aside their swords. "

What better than "La bourguignonne" to say 'thank you' in the name of those formidable warriors?

"JE SUIS FIER D'ÊTRE BOURGUIGNON!"
