    Default Favorite Barbarian Tribe?

    What's yours? I'm a fan of the Arverni.

    Also, does anyone know if the anyone in the starting family tree in any barbarian faction is historical?

    also, I'm not sure about all of these being barbarian, so just pick.

    I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.

    Actually every nation (not GREEK) is Barbarian in GREEK vision...

    The sound of "barbaros" (its pronunciation) evokes the image of "babbling" (a person speaking a non-Greek language)

    It became common term to refer to all foreigners in ancient Greece.

    The term itself was not commonly used by and during the Roman area (Cicero used it for example) but was widely used by the Byzantine Greeks until the fall of the Byzantine Empire in the 15th century.

    I'm an old Macedon fan, but for more barbarian flavour I'll put in my vote for Scythia in this mod. Archers and horse archers in unholy alliance. And some elite heavy cavalry on top of that.

    Too bad they always get pwned in my campaigns before I get the chance to test their mettle...

    The Belgae are my favorite barbarian faction in this game. I like how you can conquer Britain right off the bat, which makes for a nice fall back land and has fairly good income. For something different I conquered Britain and Ireland, ignored Gaul completely, ecoed up and made a fair amount of large boats and started going Viking on Carthage and Spain for money, than lead a overseas campaign of raids on Greece. Ultimately I raised massive amounts of money and began conquering the middle east. Was so fun because usually I dont play so outlandishly but it was interesting seeing British barbarians battle Seleucids and the Ptolemaic Empire lol

    Dacia, mostly. They have a tough starting position, but later on are a real pesty menace to my border in Moesia. Arverni are just for the sake of being there when I start conquering Gaul
