Your suggestion and opinion needed

[Asgaroth]

Hello there everyone...I am the new leader of the HRTW mod(since ahowl11 steped back due to a private project he is making and problems we were having) that was a long time in development....

I need your opinion on something :

I am going to change Dacia into some barbarian faction but still I can't figure out into what.Originaly it was intended to be The Kingdom of Epirus but since we already have 5 Greek factions there is no reason to make more of them.

So the question is : Can you guys suggest me some barbarian factions from Europe at that time ?

Thanks for helping in advance!

[Alexanderos]

No please , leave Dacia as it is , why do you want to change it ?

[Asgaroth]

Because Dacians were part of Thracian tribes as we already have Thrace,Dacia will be converted into some other barbarian factions.

thing is in vanilla the dacians are more historically accurate than thrace,though not by much. the problem with the thracians is that they are way to greek, when in fact they were anything but.


you could change thrace to illyria and rename dacia to "thracian tribes". the illirians were as important at the time as the thracians south of the danube and yet they don't appear in game. but if you are dead set on changing dacia try the boii (the celtic tribes that lived in pannonia). they used to be pretty big until the dacians wiped them out.

Thanks for the response.

Well Thracians will be Odrysian Kingdom.

And don't get me wrong but I don't like the " One tribe faction".For me it is a little stupid, if I may say, that with one tribe you can conquere the world,like with Boii,Arverni,Suebi,etc...It's more likely that if they form some kind of Confederation like the Gauls have tried,or some type of union they would have bigger chances.

So in mode there will be no one tribe or faction...

It si wierd for me to left Dacians as they are already a Thracian tribe like the Beii or Edones.But Dacian troops will be in the Odrysian Kingdom's army of course.

Thanks for the reply again florin87.

Oh and Illyrians are also already in the mod instead of the Scipii.

Any other suggestions maybe,some other kingdom or tribes?

I know that there were more of them but I can't remember where on the net did I see them.

[Ferdiad]

Use the Getai.

[Asgaroth]

Use the Getai.

The Getae are a group of several Thracian tribes...We already have the Odrysian kingdom which is a union of Thracian tribes.

So some other.

Thank for the replay.

What do you guys think about the Kingdom of Noricum ?

[florin87]

if you like them and don't have too many celtic factions go for them. i don't have any other ideas

thing is that at the time almost everyone and thier mother was split into tribes with one of them usually steamrolling their neighbors and founding a kingdom, that usually did not last for very long but that's beyond the point. that's how the dacii did it. that's is how the odrysii did it, and that's how the norii did it. so if you don't want to go tribal your choices are limited.

[Asgaroth]

Thank you for the help.

Kingdom of Noricum it is then. Thanks.
