    Default What the...where are the Germanic tribes?

    I have been playing as the Celti lately. I was looking for some of the Germans. No Teutons, Cimbri, or Jutes/Geats?

    Just curious if you were representing them as Free Peoples or barbarian rebel cities? I saw I can hire some germanic swordsmen or spearmen. But wondered if that was the extent. I'm pretty sure they invaded Roman lands around 100BC so that's why I was curious.


    (BTW, I'm still loving the mod, even if I don't get any Germans. Next I'm going to test multiplayer balance and if hotseat works.)

    The Germans are on the fringe of the mod, and so early during the development it was decided that trying to add them would needlessly postpone the release. The faction slot left free was subsequently used for another purpose (the Greco-Roman miniregion models), which meant that we couldn't later put them in, though it was proposed at various times, once we had acquired the units needed. So I'm afraid they aren't in. However, I am hoping we will be able to free up the faction slot in future so they can be added. This is still in the discussion/planning phase though, so it might turn out to be impossible.

    Interesting dilemma, especially since they did have a notable history within the Roman empire during the timeframe contained in the game period. Still, having Germanic mercenaries is probably a reasonable enough hat-tip considering they were still just a minor player. I wouldn't sweat it too much. I'm still having fun.
