"The city of Syracuse is located on the east coast of Sicily. The Mediterranean island of Sicily, with its natural resources and strategic position on trading routes, aroused the intense interest of successive empires from Carthage to Athens to Rome. Consequently, the island is never far from centre-stage in regional politics and was very often a theatre of war throughout centuries. Syracuse is the most important city of Magna Graecia."
"Named for its patron goddess Athena, the city of Athens was already a leading centre of trade by 900 BCE, though the city is far older. The city is known for its traditions of democracy that have their roots in the reforms of Cleisthenes in 508 BCE. After the Persian wars in the following decades, Athens entered a golden age of cultural and political achievements that would last until its defeat in the Peloponnesian War. The city finally lost its independence in 338 BCE after their defeat by Philip II of Macedon at the Battle of Chaeronea."
"In Greek mythology, the founder of the city of Sparta was Lacedaemon, a son of Zeus, who gave his name to the region and his wife’s name to the city. The city is located in the fertile Eurotas valley of Laconia in the southeast Peloponnesus. Sparta was one of the most important Greek city-states throughout the Archaic and Classical periods and was famous for its military prowess. The professional and well-trained Spartan hoplites with their distinctive red cloaks, long hair, and lambda-emblazoned shields are probably the best and most feared fighters in Greece, fighting with distinction at such key battles as Thermopylae and Plataea."
"Alexandria is a port city on the Mediterranean Sea in northern Egypt founded by Alexander the Great. It is most famous as the site of the Pharos (the Great Lighthouse), considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, for the Temple of Serapis (the Serapion), which is part of the legendary library at Alexandria. The city is a seat of learning and one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the world. The city grew from a small port town to become the grandest and most important metropolis in ancient Egypt."
"Pella was founded by King Archelaus I of Macedon in 399 BCE, and was the seat of the Macedonian Kingdom under Philip II and Alexander the Great, both of whom were born in the city. The location of the city offered a fertile place to support agriculture, natural defenses in form of circling hills, and a settled local populace with diverse backgrounds and skills. After the death of Alexander and the wars of his successors, the city fell under the control of Demetrius I in 294 BCE, whose son Antigonus II Gonatas defeated a Gallic invasion in 277 BCE at the Battle of Lysimachia and finally stabilized Macedon again."
"Antiochia or Antioch is located on the Orontes River near the Amanus Mountains in Syria. Antioch was founded by Seleucus, one of Alexander the Great's generals. After Alexanders death, his generals began to compete for the empire. After long and bloody civil wars, Seleucus founded what became the Seleucid Empire and made Antioch his capital. Seleucus built a port city, called Seleucia Pieria, where the Orontes River meets the Mediterranean; Antioch is located about ten miles up the river. Antioch's wide streets accommodated caravans carrying goods from the East. There were theaters, temples, a library, and public squares adorned with statues of heroes and deities that provided meeting spaces for the city's inhabitants."
"Rome, the city that would be the master of the known world, has its founding steeped in myth and legends. According to the legend, the city was founded by Romulus on the Palatine hill, after consulting the augurs about the will of the Gods. But the historical and archaeological version tells that region before Rome was populated by Latin peoples from around 1000 BCE. The first settlement that would be Rome was on the Palatine hill, consisting of mud huts and herders. After coming in contact with the Greeks and Etruscans, the settlement grew to include the other surrounding hills, and imbibed elements of these civilizations. And in time, the crude settlements transformed into a powerful city"
"Rhodes, with an area of 1,400 km², is the largest island in the Greek Dodecanese group located in the southeastern Aegean. The island is also famous as a cultural centre and for the Colossus of Rhodes statue. Demetrius I attempted to take the island in shortly after the death of Alexander the Great, but was ultimately unsuccessful after a year-long siege. The entrepreneurial Rhodians sold Demetrius’ siege equipment and used the proceeds to build a massive 32 metre high bronze statue of their patron god Helios - the Colossus of Rhodes: one of the seven wonders of the ancient world."
"Pergamon, only 25 kilometres from the Aegean Sea, sits on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus. At the time of Alexander the Great, Pergamon was no more than a hilltop fortress with a small settlement attached to it. In 282 BCE Lysimachus, king of Thrace, was on his way to confront Seleucus, the ruler of the Greco-Macedonian administration of Babylon, when he parked his war chest in Pergamon, to be looked after by Philatauerus of Tieium, a trusted lieutenant. However, Lysimachus was killed in the battle and as a result, Philatauerus found himself sitting on 9,000 talents that had no owner and in a fortress with no master. Philatauerus appropriated the money and declared his independence. Pergamon became the capital of the new kingdom of Pergamon founded in 281. The city on the rise to power is home to a library second only to the Great Library at Alexandria, a Great Altar showing the battle between the Giants and the Olympian gods, and a theatre with a seating capacity of 10,000."
"Seleucia, as such, was founded just 20 years after the death of Alexander the Great, when an earlier city was enlarged and dedicated as the first capital of the Seleucid Empire by Seleucus I Nicator. Although Seleucus soon moved his main capital to Antioch in northern Syria, Seleucia became an important center of trade, Hellenistic culture, and regional government under the Seleucids. The city is populated by Greeks, Syrians and Jews. Standing at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates, linked by a major canal, Seleucia was placed to receive traffic from both great waterways."
"Panticapaeum is unequalled in the Pontus Euxinus in its richness of ceramics, jewelry, sculptures, and other artifacts. As the leading trade, manufacturing, and cultural center on the northern coast of the Pontus Euxinus it became the capital of the Bosporan Kingdom. The city is dominated by Mount Mithridates, on which the temples and civic buildings are placed. The large bay provides an excellent port as well."
"Along the northwestern coast of the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Italy lies the ancient city of Massilia. The presence of Greek culture - especially its architecture and art - at Massilia had a lasting effect from Gaul in the northwest and Spain to the far west; this influence became more evident with the arrival of Greek wine and olives as agricultural products. Although the city remained Greek in nature - complete with a theatre, agora, temples, and docks - its location kept it from participating in any of the Greek wars in the homeland."

The Eildon Hills were once volcanic cores; the hard rock has survived while the surrounding has worn away.

The Scordisci chose to build their fortress on a strategic hilltop at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, overlooking the Pannonian Plain to the North.

Descendants of the original Greek colonists ruled over a population of mostly Illyrian origin. In the last few decades however, the city has been controlled by Pyrrhus of Epirus, who has launched his wars with Rome from this coastline, Appollonia being the most convenient link between northern Greece and Brundisium in Magna Graecia."

The city was ruled by the Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, and Persians during its long history. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the city came under Macedonian rule until 278 BCE, when the Galatian Celts occupied the city after their invasion of Asia Minor was stopped in battle by the Seleucid king Antiochus I. A small Celtic warrior aristocracy governed by a council at the Drunemeton, “holy place of oak,” rules over the local population of Phrygians and Cappadocians." "True"

Confirming his account, Scythian tombs dating to the early 4th century BCE have been found on the left bank of the Dnepr River. The Royal Scythians belonged to the nomadic groups called the Saka Paradraya (Saka across the sea), and lived immediately north of the Greek towns on the coast." "True"

If unsupported, they will be easy prey for cavalry or aggressive infantry who are fast enough to catch them." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Armour_Horse_Archers_Tooltip" "(Saka Armoured Nobles)\n\nTheir armour is made of relatively large square plaques, rather than smaller scales or lamellae, and the protection for the rider’s legs takes the shape of wide armoured chaps that, thanks to their size, also defend the horse’s flanks. Those designs may be ancient, but their very survival attests to their efficiency. In contrast, their offensive equipment is much more recent. They already carry composite bows and add long, stout kontos lances that allow them to mount a fearful charge after they have weakened their foes with archery." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Armoured_Lancers_Tooltip" "(Sarmatian Bodyguard Cavalry)\n\nThe retainers of a Sarmatian warlord of the royal family have, like their master, access to the very best in terms of arms, armour and horses. However, not even a Sarmatian prince may afford keeping a large retinue and hence, these select warriors are few in number." "True"

"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Horse_Archers_Tooltip" "(Saka Horse Archers)\n\nLiving a tough life, Saka nomads learn to ride as soon as they can walk, and they are masterful horsemen. Their primary weapon is the composite bow and the steppe pony they ride is a hardy beast, though small and shaggy." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Horse_Skirm_Tooltip" "(Scythian Light Horsemen)\n\nThese light riders are from the Scythian tribes to the north of the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea). They rely on a long sword, bow and shield (typically, the crescent shaped, leather faced, taka shield of the Scythian peoples) and are some of the most effective light horse available. These light horsemen will prove of little value in a hand to hand clash against disciplined infantry and care should be taken not to waste them in such a way." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Lancers_Tooltip" "(Roxolani Armoured Lancers)\n\nLancers represent a shift of emphasis in Sarmatian warfare from mounted archery and attrition towards furious charges and shock combat. Equipped with the kontos, a long lance over 4 m long that they wield two-handed, and wearing good scale armour, Roxolani riders can deliver a charge that few foes, mounted or on foot, can withstand." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Noble_Horse_Archers_Tooltip" "(Saka Noble Horse Archers)\n\nProtected with helmets and good quality scale armour, riding horses with frontal barding, and wielding stout spears, these Saka nobles can give a good account of themselves in hand to hand combat. Also, they are no less adept with the strong, composite bows they carry than poorer, more lightly-equipped horse archers and only slightly less agile. This combination makes them suitable for a variety of tasks." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Noble_Lancers_Tooltip" "(Scythian Noble Cavalry)\n\nThe Skuda Uaezdaettae, or Scythian nobles, fight in a manner almost more similar to the Greeks than their nomadic ancestors, preferring the xyston or spear to archery, even though they still carry composite bows. Equipped with a fine linothorax reinforced with metal scales, long pteryges, and a Greek-style bronze helmet, they are still a deadly cavalry force, though not to the extent they once were." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Royal_Horse_Archers_Tooltip" "(Sarmatian Noble Horse Archers)\n\nSarmatian nobles are among the few in their society that can actually afford the very high costs of reasonably good defensive gear and larger horses to carry a rider wearing such heavy equipment. However, they are not prepared to frontally charge any disciplined close-order infantry." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Saka_Cataphract_Horse_Archers_Tooltip" "(Roxolani Noble Horse Archers)\n\nIf many Roxolani riders can now equip themselves with corselets of scale armour, their nobility will take this trend one step further and provide defenses for the horses they ride as well. Typically, they first probe for weaknesses and, if none are readily found, they work to create them. For such a task they may well resort to their bows." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Saka_Cataphracts_Tooltip" "(Saka Cataphracts)\n\nThese fearsome warriors wear an armoured jacket fitted at the waist and made of large metal plates. Their horses are protected by an armoured cloth.

"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Saka_Noble_Armour_Lancers_Tooltip" "(Aorsoi Noble Cavalry)\n\nMetal armour is still beyond the means of most Aorsoi nobles; they must be content with either polished horn or hardened leather. Of course, true to steppe traditions, Aorsoi nobles have not forsaken the composite bow and against heavier enemies their skill as bowmen serves them very well." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Sarmatian_Horsemen_Tooltip" "(Sarmatian Horse Archers)\n\nLife as nomadic herders on the steppe produces highly skilled bowmen and riders who can put those abilities to very good use on a battlefield. Typical horse archers carry little or no armour and are likely to suffer if forced into melee against most adversaries." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Sarmatian_Riders_Tooltip" "(Saka Riders)\n\nThese Saka riders are armed with a recurved composite bow as their primary weapon and a spear as a secondary weapon. In addition, they carry leather armour and wickerwork shields, being slightly better armed than the majority of the tribesmen." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Sarmatian_Royal_Lancers_Tooltip" "(Yuezhi Noble Cavalry)\n\nThese mounted nobles are lightly armoured medium cavalry, able to skirmish with their bows and mount a desperate charge with their lances. They wield their bows with skill, and handle their lances well." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Scythian_Royal_Horse_Tooltip" "(Late Saka Cataphracts)\n\nThese men represent the champions of Indo-Saka society that have distinguished themselves as a feared force of crack cavalry. Armoured with a lamellar cuirass and helmet along with laminated trousers and laminated arm defences, and with their chargers armoured in a complete lamellar barding, these cataphracts boast defences as formidable as their Parthian rivals to the west." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Scythian_Royal_Skirmishers_Tooltip" "(Aorsoi Riders)\n\nThe Aorsoi are one of several major Sarmatian groups. Aorsoi riders are first and foremost horse archers, but on average, Aorsoi tribesmen are somewhat better-equipped than their counterparts from other Sarmatian tribes. Thus, they often wear a measure of simple armour and tend to carry spears in addition to their bows." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Spear_Tooltip" "(Saka Spearmen)\n\nThese Saka spearmen wear no armour, and carry a shield and spear to battle. They are passable infantry and can hold their own against other low-quality infantry of a similar nature. However, due to their lack of armour, they should not be employed against the heavier infantry of settled peoples." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Tribesmen_Tooltip" "(Saka Foot Archers)\n\nThey carry are a fairly large recurved composite bow which, with its relatively longer siyahs and body, shows a deviation from the traditional Scythian recurved composite bow and a transition to the later “Sassanian” and "Hun" types of more eastern steppe nomads, enabling them to outrange, outshoot, and out-power steppe nomad horse archers." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Young_Axes_Tooltip" "(Saka Axemen)\n\nIn addition to their iron sagaris axes, these warriors carry fire-hardened javelins. For protection, they carry square reed shields reinforced with leather, which, though light, are very resistant to missiles. They are best used for flanking already engaged foes or as lightly armoured shock troops, but if tied up in a lengthy melee against more organised or professional enemy warriors, they will soon break and flee." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Saka_Heavy_Cavalry_Tooltip" "(Saka Lancers)\n\nWielding a two-handed kontos and riding fast and strong horses, Saka lancers are capable of mounting a powerful charge. Their secondary weapon is a sagaris battleaxe, which can inflict substantial damage in close hand-to-hand combat, even against well-protected armoured enemies. However, they do not wear much armour themselves, only a helmet and a leather jacket." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Sarmatian_Light_Spearmen_Tooltip" "(Sarmatian Light Spearmen)\n\nSarmatian Spearmen are raised from settled groups of formerly nomadic Sarmatians such as the Siraces of Ciscaucasia. A shield is typically their only protection, and they use spears and short swords for offense." "True"

They are among the most disciplined of infantry forces, lumbering forward under the cover of their extended spears, thick helmets, bronze greaves, and massive hoplons, while each man's torso is encased in a heavy suit of scale." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Indo_Greek_Nobles_Tooltip" "(Indo-Hellenic Noble Hoplites)\n\nThe Saka know a good thing when they see it, so not only do they keep hoplites as a fighting force, but they have also enhanced them with their own people and fighting elements, and use this elite force to further cement their Indian state. They wear an evolved Boeotian helmet, bronze cuirasses decorated with Indian motifs, pteryges, perikneimides (full greaves) and of course a heavy bronze hoplon shield to complete their armour. An iron-tipped spear is their primary weapon, but should the need arise they are also armed with an evolved kopis, or khukhri as the Indians call it, a medium sized slashing sword made of Indian steel." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Ste_Indo_Greek_Heavy_Cavalry_Tooltip" "(Indo-Hellenic Heavy Cavalry)\n\nSome time after the Saka began assimilating the territories of Hellenic dynasties, they initiated a practice of political accommodation with the old government, calling on them to raise up levies of their countrymen for service in the army of the King of Kings. They are equipped as heavy cavalry, in a mix of Hellenic and eastern equipment, protected by a heavy bronze muscle cuirass, bronze helmets, trousers, and greaves." "True"

These well-drilled, close-order infantry form the core of most eastern armies." "True"
"unit_description_short_texts_text_Eas_Slingers_Tooltip" "(Eastern Slingers)\n\nIn battle, slingers are used as light skirmishers who rush forward against the enemy to pepper them with stones, only to flee when threatened. Slingers come from the shepherd boys of the highlands who use slings to herd sheep and goats. They stand guard in the upland pastures, and if they see an animal straying, they sling a stone in front of it to ward it back to safety." "True"

Rapidly becoming Hellenised by its ruling Macedonian elite, the Seleucid Empire is an industrious centre of city building and civil engineering, attracting many Greek colonists. Such immigration provides the missing infantry support required to compliment the expert light and heavy cavalry of Seleucid armies. Despite an, at times, precarious position at home, the Seleucids now look to expand into Ptolemaic Egypt and beyond, to Alexander’s former western empire in Greece and Macedon." "True"

Polybius (203 BC–120 BC) writes that they were subdued by the Romans in 229 BC. Appian (95–165) writes that they were destroyed by the Autariatae and that they had serious maritime power. In the Epitome of Livy they are said to have been subdued by the consul Fulvius Flaccus. They are located in present day Montenegro, most likely around the gulf of Rhizon, although Strabo places them on the right bank of the Neretva. Their initial inland residence was located along the Naro River up to the Konjic region, in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because their piratical bands pestered the sea, the Romans campaigned against them in the events of the Illyrian Wars. They drink heavily and are seen as pirates by the Greeks. The Ardiaei were enemies of the Autariatae for a long time over trade resources. The Ardiaei had briefly attained military might during 230 BC under the reign of king Agron. His widow, Queen Teuta, attempted to gain a foothold in the Adriatic but failed due to Roman intervention. Historic accounts hold that King Agron was hired by king Demetrius of Macedonia repel the invasion of Macedonia by the invading Aetolians. The ancient geographer, Strabo, lists the Ardiaei as one of the three strongest Illyrian peoples – the other two being the Autariatae and the Dardani. Strabo writes, "Because they pestered the sea through their piratical bands, the Romans pushed them back from it into the interior and forced them to till the soil. But the country is rough and poor and not suited to a farming population, and therefore the tribe has been utterly ruined and in fact has almost been obliterated.

"start_pos_factions_description_2120135209" "The Boii are a Gallic tribe of the later Iron Age, attested at various times in Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy), Pannonia (Hungary and its western neighbours), in and around Bohemia (after whom the region is named), and Transalpine Gaul. In addition, the archaeological evidence indicates that in the 2nd century BC Celts expanded from Bohemia through the Kłodzko Valley into Silesia, now part of Poland. They first appear in history in connection with the Gallic invasion of north Italy, 390 BC, when they made the Etruscan city of Felsina their new capital, Bononia (Bologna). After a series of wars they were decisively beaten by the Romans in a battle near Mutina (Modena) and their territory became part of the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul. According to Strabo, writing two centuries after the events, rather than being destroyed by the Romans like their Celtic neighbours, "the Boii were merely driven out of the regions they occupied; and after migrating to the regions round about the Ister, lived with the Taurisci, and carried on war against the Daci until they perished, tribe and all — and thus they left their country, which was a part of Illyria, to their neighbours as a pasture-ground for sheep." Around 60 BC, a group of Boians joined the Helvetians' ill-fated attempt to conquer land in western Gaul and were defeated by Julius Caesar, along with their allies, in the battle of Bibracte. Caesar settled the remnants of that group in Gorgobina, from where they sent two thousand to Vercingetorix's aid at the battle of Alesia six years later. The eastern Boians on the Danube were incorporated into the Roman Empire in 8 AD. In the second half of the 3rd century BC, the Boii allied with the other Cisalpine Gauls and the Etruscans against Rome. They also fought alongside Hannibal, killing (in 216 BC) the Roman general L. Postumius Albinus, whose skull was then turned into a sacrificial bowl. A short time earlier, they were defeated at Telamon in 224 BC, and again at Placentia in 194 BC (modern Piacenza) and Mutina in 193 BC (modern Modena). After the loss of their capital, according to Strabo, a large portion of the Boii left Italy. Contrary to the interpretation of the classical writers, the Pannonian Boii attested in later sources are not simply the remnants of those who had fled from Italy, but rather another division of the tribe, which had settled there much earlier. The burial rites of the Italian Boii show many similarities with contemporary Bohemia, such as inhumation, which was uncommon for the other Cisalpine Gauls, or the absence of the typically western Celtic torcs. This makes it much more likely that the Cisalpine Boii had actually originated in Bohemia, rather than the other way round. Having migrated to Italy from north of the Alps, some of the defeated Celts simply moved back to their kinsfolk. The Pannonian Boii are mentioned again in the late 2nd century BC, when they repelled the Cimbri and Teutones (Strabo VII, 2, 2). Later on, they attacked the city of Noreia (in modern Austria) shortly before a group of Boii (32,000 according to Julius Caesar - the number is probably an exaggeration) joined the Helvetii in their attempt to settle in western Gaul. After the Helvetian defeat at Bibracte, the influential Aedui tribe allowed the Boii survivors to settle on their territory, where they occupied the oppidum of Gorgobina. Although attacked by Vercingetorix during one phase of the war, they supported him with two thousand troops at the battle of Alesia." "True"

"start_pos_factions_description_2120135060" "Etruscan civilisation is the modern name given to a civilisation of ancient Italy in the area corresponding roughly to Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Latium. The ancient Romans called its creators the Tusci or Etrusci. Their Roman name is the origin of the terms Tuscany, which refers to their heartland, and Etruria, which can refer to their wider region. In Attic Greek, the Etruscans were known as Tyrrhēnioi, from which the Romans derived the names Tyrrheni (Etruscans), Tyrrhenia (Etruria), and Mare Tyrrhenum (Tyrrhenian Sea). The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna, which was syncopated to Rasna or Raśna. As distinguished by its unique language, this civilisation endured from the time of the earliest Etruscan inscriptions (ca. 700 BC) until its assimilation into the Roman Republic in the early 3rd century BC. At its maximum extent, during the foundational period of Rome and the Roman kingdom, it flourished in three confederations of cities: Etruria, the Po valley with the eastern Alps, and Latium and Campania. Culture that is identifiably Etruscan developed in Italy after about 800 BC approximately over the range of the preceding Iron Age Villanovan culture. The latter gave way in the 7th century to a culture that was influenced by Greek traders, Greek neighbours in Magna Graecia, and the Hellenic civilisation of southern Italy." "True"

"start_pos_factions_description_2120135360" "In many ways, Galatian means nothing more than Gallic. True to this, the Galatians were originally a confederacy of three Gallic tribes; the Trocmi, Tolistobogii and Tectosages. These tribes split off from the great Celtic migration into Macedonia led by Brennus and arrived in Asia Minor after plundering their way through Thrace under Lutarios and Leonnorios. They crossed into Asia Minor as mercenaries for Zipoites II of Bithynia, in the conflict with his brother; after assisting Zipoites they made several plundering excursions before being defeated in battle by the Seleucids. After this, they settled, establishing themselves as a military aristocracy in the region that would be called Galatia from then on, leaving the local Cappadocians in control of their towns and most of their lands while paying tithes to the Galatians. They are fresh arrivals and have already made a name for themselves as fierce warriors; respected and feared, they often plunder their neighbors and serve as mercenaries in nearly all great battles. Until now their plundering has gone unchecked and it seems they only need a visionary leader to bring them to greatness, perhaps even an empire! Historically, their raiding across Asia Minor went unchecked for more than a generation until they sided with a renegade Seleucid prince, Antiochus Hierax, against a Greek federation led by Attalus of Pergamon. Suffering severe defeats, they were forced to confine themselves to Galatia. The famous statue the Dying Gaul is a depiction of a Galation warrior, and is a prime example of the respect given to the Galatian skill at arms even in defeat." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135464" "The Lusitani are a group of pre-Roman, Indo-European inhabitants of the western portion of the Iberian Peninsula, who have lived there since the Iron Age. In 29 BC, following a Roman invasion, the Roman province of Lusitania was created within their territories, accounting for much of current Portugal. The ancestors of the Lusitani comprised a mosaic of different tribes that inhabited Portugal since the Neolithic period. No one knows for certain the origin of these Celtic tribes, but most likely were from the Swiss Alps and had migrated due to warmer climate in the Iberian Peninsula. Partially amalgamated with the invading Celts, they gave rise to the Lusitani. People or tribes that comprised the Lusitano (Lusitani) are described in the Bridge of Alcantara (CIL II 760): Igaeditani, Lancienses Oppidani, Tapori, Coilarni or Colarni, Lancienses Transcudani, Arava, Meidubrigenses, Arabrigenses, and Paesures. Livy (218 BC) describes the Lusitani first as mercenaries in the service of the Carthaginians, in the war against the Romans. The Lusitani were regarded by historians as skilled in guerrilla warfare. The guerrillas are young individuals in the fullness of strength and agility, selected from among the strongest. Therein lies the key to defense of the community when it is threatened.

"start_pos_factions_description_2120135494" "Massilia is a colony of Ionian Greeks founded in 600 BC as one of the first ports in western Europe. According to the story, the Greek Protis was invited by King Nannus of the Segobridges to a banquet at which his daughter, Gyptis, was to choose a spouse. To everyone's surprise she chose Protis, and the king gave them the land where Massilia would be founded. After Nannus' death, his son saw the city as a threat, and planned to sneak into the city and kill all within; again it was love between a relative of the king and a young Greek that brought fortune to the city, as this relative warned the city and the plot was foiled with the death of the king and the conspirators. The city prospered and even started colonies of its own in southern Gaul, and sailors from Massilia are rumored to have even travelled to the western coast of Africa. This feat is attributed to a citizen name Pythias who also wrote a book "On the Ocean" in which he details his travels along the British Isles, and it is possible he even went as far as Iceland. In its history, Massilia has come in conflict with the locals, but also Carthage, and proved itself a dominant player in the region. Profiting greatly from exporting Roman goods to Gaul, and slaves and goods to Rome, as well as sharing Rome's enemies, Massilia is a friend to Rome as Rome is to her. Now with conflict on the horizon, she might need to call upon the protection of Rome or perhaps she will find strength within herself and become a truly great player amongst the great powers." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135541" "The Nervii are one of the most powerful Belgic tribes, living in the north of Gaul at the time of its conquest by Rome. Their territory corresponds to the central part of modern Belgium, including Brussels, with its western and northwestern border on the Scheldt (French Escaut) river, stretching southwards into French Hainault to the forests of Arrouaise and Thiérache. To the east, the boundaries are not clear but it has been proposed that they stretched as far as the Dyle river valley in the north, near Louvain, and the Meuse in the south in modern Wallonia, near Namur. During the 1st century BC Roman military campaign, Caesar's contacts among the Remi stated that the Nervii were the most warlike of the Belgae, and very distant. In times of war, they are known to trek long distances to take part in battle. Being one of the northern Belgic tribes, with the Menapii to the west and the Eburones to their east, they were considered by Caesar to be relatively uncorrupted by civilisation. An oppidum near Asse may have belonged to the Nervii, but it is isolated and near the territory of the Menapii. The bigger concentration of population is in the south of the territory, near the river Sambre, with the biggest being at Avesnelles, near Avesnes-sur-Helpe. Caesar names some smaller tribes who were expected to contribute troops to Nervian forces: Levaci, Pleumoxii, Geidumni, Ceutrones, and Grudii, but their locations are unknown. Caesar considers the Belgic tribes the bravest in Gaul, and says that their culture was a Spartan one: they would not partake of alcoholic beverages or any other such luxury, feeling that the mind must remain clear to be brave. He also says they dislike foreign trade and have no merchant class. Archaeologists have sought to define the territories of the northern Belgic tribes by looking at the coins they used. The Nervii are associated with a stater type that uses a Greek epsilon. Remarkably, given the archaeological evidence of a Celtic La Tène culture having been present in the pre-Roman past, Caesar reports that the Nervii had no cavalry. In fact they established hedges throughout their lands in order to make them difficult for cavalry. The Nervii were part of the Belgic alliance that resisted Julius Caesar in 57 BC. After the alliance broke up and some tribes surrendered, the Nervii, under the command of Boduognatus and aided by the Atrebates and Viromandui, came very close to defeating Caesar (the Atuatuci had also agreed to join them but had not yet arrived). At the battle of the Sabis (now identified as the river Selle, near modern Saulzoir; previously identified as the Sambre) in 57 BC, they concealed themselves in the forests and attacked the approaching Roman column at the river. Their attack was so quick and unexpected that some of the Romans didn't have time to take the covers off their shields or even put on their helmets. The element of surprise briefly left the Romans exposed. However, Caesar grabbed a shield, made his way to the front line, and quickly organised his forces; at the same time, the commander of the tenth legion, Titus Labienus, attacked the Nervian camp. The two legions who had been guarding the baggage train at the rear arrived and helped to turn the tide of the battle. Caesar says the Nervii were almost annihilated in the battle and is effusive in his tribute to their bravery, calling them "heroes." When Ambiorix and the Eburones rebelled in 53 BC, the remaining Nervii joined the uprising and besieged Quintus Tullius Cicero – brother of the orator – and his legion in their winter camp until they were relieved by Caesar in person. The Nervian civitas was at Bagacum. The city was founded probably outside the traditional Nervian territory and is now known as Bavay. The forum has been excavated. The town was founded in c.30 BC and rapidly became a center of Roman civilisation. Towns belonging to the Nervian territory were Fanum Martis (Famars), and Geminiacum (Liberchies). The Nervians are well known for the export of grain; an interesting tombstone of a frumentarius was excavated as far away as Nijmegen. They also produce ceramics (terra nigra). Inscriptions found on artifacts recovered at Rough Castle Fort along the Antonine Wall across the Central Belt of Scotland indicate that in the 2nd century the fort was the base for 500 men of the Sixth Cohort of Nervii, an infantry unit. According to Tacitus, the Nervians also served in cohorts based along the Rhine border. After the disastrous attacks by the Franks in 275, a new civitas was built at Camaracum (Cambrai). In 432 the country of the Nervians was officially taken over by the Franks. Their king Childeric I was buried in Tournai. The medieval Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cambrai continued to cover the same approximate area as the Roman civitas until 1559. The Nervii and Menapii are the main subjects of the comic book, "Asterix in Belgium." In it, a competition between the Belgians and the Gauls from Armorica takes place to decide who is the bravest under the unlikely adjudication of Julius Caesar." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135563" "The Odrysian Kingdom was a union of Thracian tribes that endured between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC. It consisted largely of present-day Bulgaria, spreading to parts of Northern Dobruja, parts of Northern Greece and modern-day European Turkey. King Seuthes III later moved the capital to Seuthopolis. The Odrysians were one of the most powerful Thracian tribes that dwelled in the plain of the Hebrus river. This would place the tribe in the modern border area between southeastern Bulgaria, northeastern Greece, and European Turkey, centered around the city of Edirne. The river Artescus passed through their land as well. Xenophon writes that the Odrysians held horse races and drank large amounts of wine after the burial of their dead warriors. Thucydides writes on the custom, practised by most Thracians, of giving gifts for getting things done. Herodotus is the first that mentions the Odrysae. Thrace had nominally been part of the Persian empire since 516 BC and was re-subjugated by Mardonius in 492 BC. The Odrysian state was the first Thracian kingdom that acquired power in the region, through the unification of many Thracian tribes under a single ruler, King Teres in the 5th century BC. Initially, during the reign of Teres or Sitalces, the state was at its zenith, and extended from the Black Sea in the east, to Danube in the north, the region populated by the Triballi in the northwest, and the basin of the river Strymon in the southwest and towards the Aegean. Later its extent changed to present day Bulgaria, Turkish Thrace, and Greece between the Hebrus and the Strymon, except for the coastal strip the Greek cities occupied. Sovereignty was never exercised over all of its lands as it varied in relation to tribal politics. This large territory was populated with a number of Thracian and Daco-Moesian tribes that united under the reign of a common ruler, and began to implement common internal and external policies. Those were favourable conditions for overcoming the tribal divisions which could lead gradually to the formation of a more stable ethnic community." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135584" "Pergamon is an ancient Greek city in Aeolis, currently located 26 kilometres from the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus. Today, the main sites of ancient Pergamon are to the north and west of the modern city of Bergama in Turkey. Some ancient authors regarded it as a colony of the Arcadians, but the various origin stories all belong to legend. The Greek historians reconstructed a complete history for it, due to confusion with the distant Teuthrania. It became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 281–133 BC. Pergamon is cited in the Book of Revelation as one of the seven churches of Asia. Pergamon is mentioned for the first time by Xenophon. Captured by Xenophon in 399 and immediately recaptured by the Persians, it was severely punished in 362 after a revolt. It did not become important until Lysimachus, King of Thrace, took possession in 301 BC, but soon after his lieutenant Philetaerus enlarged the town, the Kingdom of Thrace collapsed and it became the capital of the new kingdom of Pergamon which Philetaerus founded in 281, beginning the Attalid dynasty. In 261 he bequeathed his possessions to his nephew Eumenes I (263-241 BC), who increased them greatly, leaving as heir his cousin Attalus I (241-197 BC). The Attalids were among the most loyal supporters of Rome in the Hellenistic world. Under Attalus I (241–197 BC), they allied with Rome against Philip V of Macedon, during the first and second Macedonian Wars, and again under Eumenes II (197–158 BC), against Perseus of Macedon, during the Third Macedonian War. For support against the Seleucids, the Attalids were rewarded with all the former Seleucid domains in Asia Minor. As a consequence of its rise to power, the city was greatly expanded. When Attalus III (138–133 BC) died without an heir in 133 BC, he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome, in order to prevent a civil war. Not everyone in Pergamon accepted Rome's rule. Aristonicus, who claimed to be Attalus' brother as well as the son of Eumenes II, an earlier king, led a revolt among the lower classes with the help of Blossius. The revolt was put down in 129 BC, and Pergamon was divided among Rome, Pontus, and Cappadocia. Pergamon was briefly the capital of the Roman province of Asia, before the capital was transferred to Ephesus. After a slow decline, the city was favoured by several imperial initiatives under Hadrian (117 - 138). It was granted the title of metropolis, and as a result of this, an ambitious building programme was carried out: massive temples, a stadium, a theatre, a huge forum, and an amphitheatre were constructed. In addition, at the city limits, the shrine to Asclepius (the god of healing) was expanded into a lavish spa. The Sanctuary of Asclepius grew in fame and was considered one of the most famous therapeutic and healing centers of the Roman world. Galen, after Hippocrates the most famous physician of antiquity, was born at Pergamon and received his early training at the Asclepeion. Pergamon reached the height of its greatness under Roman Imperial rule and was home to about 200,000 inhabitants." "True"

This 2,700-year-old city played a key role in ancient times, when it was one of the major powers of the Mediterranean world. Syracuse is located in the southeast corner of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Syracuse next to the Ionian Sea. The city was founded by ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans, and became a very powerful city-state. Syracuse was allied with Sparta and Corinth, exerting influence over the entire Magna Graecia area, of which it was the most important city. Once described by Cicero as "the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all", it later became part of the Roman Republic and Byzantine Empire. A democratic government was installed by Timoleon in 345 BC. The long series of internal struggles had weakened Syracuse's power on the island, and Timoleon tried to remedy this, defeating the Carthaginians in 339 BC near the Krimisos river. But the struggle among the city's parties restarted after his death, and ended with the rise of another tyrant, Agathocles, who seized power with a coup in 317 BC. He resumed the war against Carthage, with alternate fortunes. However, he scored a moral success, bringing the war to the Carthaginians' native African soil, and inflicting heavy losses to the enemy. The war ended with another peace treaty which did not prevent the Carthaginians interfering in the politics of Syracuse after the death of Agathocles (289 BC). The citizens called Pyrrhus of Epirus for help. After a brief period under the rule of Epirus, Hiero II seized power in 275 BC. Hiero inaugurated a period of 50 years of peace and prosperity, in which Syracuse became one of the most renowned capitals of Antiquity. He issued the so-called Lex Hieronica, which was later adopted by the Romans for their administration of Sicily; he also had the theatre enlarged and a new immense altar, "Hiero's Ara," built. Under his rule lived the most famous Syracusan, the mathematician and natural philosopher Archimedes. Among his many inventions were various military engines, including the claw of Archimedes, later used to resist the Roman siege of 214 BC–212 BC. Literary figures included Theocritus and others. Hiero's successor, the young Hieronymus (ruled from 215 BC), broke the alliance with the Romans after their defeat at the Battle of Cannae, and accepted Carthage's support. The Romans, led by consul Marcus Claudius Marcellus, besieged the city in 214 BC. The city held out for three years, but fell in 212 BC. The successes of the Syracusans in repelling the Roman siege had made them overconfident. In 212 BC, the Romans received information that the city's inhabitants were to participate in the annual festival to the goddess Artemis. A small party of Roman soldiers approached the city under the cover of night and managed to scale the walls to get into the outer city, and with reinforcements soon took control, killing Archimedes in the process, but the main fortress remained firm. After an eight-month siege and with parleys in progress, an Iberian captain named Moeriscus is believed to have let the Romans in, near the Fountains of Arethusa. On the agreed signal, during a diversionary attack, he opened the gate. After setting guards on the houses of the pro-Roman faction, Marcellus gave Syracuse to plunder." "True"

After the destruction of the Seleucid Empire, a Hellenistic Armenische state was founded in 190 BC. It was a Hellenistic Greek successor state of Alexander the Great's short-lived empire, with Artaxias becoming its first king and the founder of the Artaxiad dynasty (190 BC – AD 1). At the same time, a western portion of the kingdom split as a separate state under Zariadris. The new kings began a program of expansion which was to reach its zenith a century later. Their acquisitions are summarized by Strabo. Zariadris acquired Acilisene and the "country around the Antitaurus," possibly the district of Muzur or the area west of the Euphrates. Artaxias took lands from the Medes, Iberians, and Syrians. He then had confrontations with Pontus, Seleucid Syria, and Cappadocia, and was included in the treaty which followed the victory of a group of Anatolian kings over Pharnaces of Pontus in 181 BC. Pharnaces thus abandoned all of his gains in the West. At its zenith from 95 to 66 BC, Greater Armenia extended, forming the second Armenische empire. For a time, Armenia was one of the most powerful states in the Roman East. It eventually confronted the Roman Republic in a war, which it lost in 66 BC, but nonetheless preserved its sovereignty. Tigranes continued to rule Armenia as an ally of Rome until his death in 55 BC." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135478" "The Masaesyli are a North African tribe of western Numidia who provide mercenaries to Carthage. They initially sided with Rome during the Second Punic Wars; however, the tribe eventually sided with Carthage in that conflict." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135488" "The Saka Rauka are a confederation of nomadic tribes, and fierce steppe warriors all.

"start_pos_factions_description_2120135456" "Throughout all the nations of the Lugiones, society was ordered by the conventions of kinship, and within the limits of law, freemen ruled themselves as they saw fit. Herein, a small ruling class lived much as those they governed, of which the latter were exceedingly great in number. The tribes bore weapons and in full measure prepared and participated in what was a constant state of endless war. To affect this cause, all men served as warriors, levied every year to defend and extend their realm. Otherwise, they remained to tend their farmsteads, so that neither the pursuit of war nor subsistence was ever neglected. They owned a few slaves as well, a small number of which were kept as tenants, while the greater portion thus ensnared were sold to satisfy local needs or the bottomless greed of the Mediterranean markets. Also, the Lugiones did not build large walled capitals or towns by choice, and forbade the private ownership of land. Of the common land that was tilled, fields and farmsteads were often relocated, so that the ties that bind kith and kin to the land would not risk the survival of their nations. To a great extent these people lived off the milk and beef produced by their cattle. In addition some fished, and many hunted the game that abounded throughout their vast wilderness." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120136977" "The Odrysian Kingdom was a union of Thracian tribes that endured between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC. It consisted largely of present-day Bulgaria, spreading to parts of Northern Dobruja, parts of Northern Greece and modern-day European Turkey. King Seuthes III later moved the capital to Seuthopolis. The Odrysians were one of the most powerful Thracian tribes that dwelled in the plain of the Hebrus river. This would place the tribe in the modern border area between southeastern Bulgaria, northeastern Greece, and European Turkey, centered around the city of Edirne. The river Artescus passed through their land as well. Xenophon writes that the Odrysians held horse races and drank large amounts of wine after the burial of their dead warriors. Thucydides writes on the custom, practised by most Thracians, of giving gifts for getting things done. Herodotus is the first that mentions the Odrysae. Thrace had nominally been part of the Persian empire since 516 BC and was re-subjugated by Mardonius in 492 BC. The Odrysian state was the first Thracian kingdom that acquired power in the region, through the unification of many Thracian tribes under a single ruler, King Teres in the 5th century BC. Initially, during the reign of Teres or Sitalces, the state was at its zenith, and extended from the Black Sea in the east, to Danube in the north, the region populated by the Triballi in the northwest, and the basin of the river Strymon in the southwest and towards the Aegean. Later its extent changed to present day Bulgaria, Turkish Thrace, and Greece between the Hebrus and the Strymon, except for the coastal strip the Greek cities occupied. Sovereignty was never exercised over all of its lands as it varied in relation to tribal politics. This large territory was populated with a number of Thracian and Daco-Moesian tribes that united under the reign of a common ruler, and began to implement common internal and external policies. Those were favourable conditions for overcoming the tribal divisions which could lead gradually to the formation of a more stable ethnic community." "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135523" "Placeholder - Nabatea" "True"
"start_pos_factions_description_2120135624" "The earliest Sabaean kingdom we know about is that of Saba (Sheba) with its capital city called Marib. This city was built on the edge of the desert in the dry delta of Wadi Adana. In this area, there is little rainfall, but twice a year, the wadi fills with water from the biannual rains that occur higher up in the mountains. The water in the wadi is then used to irrigate the rainless, arid area around the wadi making cultivation possible. Examination of the sediments found around Marib has shown that irrigation in this region goes back to the third millennium BC.\n\nAgriculture in Arabia is difficult and costly to say the least. It presupposes the power to control and exploit the seasonal rain-floods with the aid of complex irrigation systems. Again and again these installations are threatened by unusually strong floods. Canals and dams have to be maintained in good working order or the whole thing does not work. Finally, one has to reckon with periods of drought, when rain does not fall for several years at a time.\n\nMarib's position however, has less to do with access to water, and more to do with incense. The city holds a commanding position on the inland caravan route that runs from the areas on the Indian Ocean (eastern Yemen today) which export frankincense across the desert to the Mediterranean. This route winds its way along a chain of watering places between the mountains and the desert.\n\nThe caravan trails depend as much on the political situation and trade connections as on the geography of the area. In order to make one's way from the main centers of production (in eastern Yemen) to the Mediterranean Sea, one has to avoid the mountains with their difficult passes, feuding tribes, and frequent dens of thieves. At the same time, one has to find enough water and food for men and beasts. There is practically only one trail in South Arabia which fulfills all these requirements: from Shawl, the capital of the Hadramaut, it goes through the desert, following the Yemenite mountain ridge to Timna, the capital of Qataban. From there, it passes Marib, the capital of Saba, to Baraqish, and on past Jebal al-Lawdh, to Najran.\n\nAs money became available through the sale of incense, the Sabaeans began to erect large sanctuaries, which were entered through impressive monolithic pillars. Work was started on the stone walls which were to be the fortifications of the towns. At the same time (6th century B.C.), the first written documents in the form of stone inscriptions appear. The oldest of these are very short and invariably refer to religious rites or construction projects. These inscriptions are in Sabaean characters, which later became widespread, extending even to Ethiopia. Some experts feel that the Sabaean characters may have been derived from alphabets existing in Southern Mesopotamia.\n\nOver time, various groups splinted from the Sabaean Kingdom. Ma'in was originally a Sabaean territory, but towards the end of the 5th century BC, it gradually began to sever its ties with Saba. For more than a century it enjoyed a period of tremendous economic prosperity. During this period, the Minaean Empire controlled most of the incense trade routes in southern Arabia. To control and protect this route the Minaeans established a colony far out in the northwest of Arabia, in the oasis of Dedan. In the early Greek and Roman world, historians spoke of "Minaean frankincense" because it was mainly the Minaeans who produced this much demanded product.\n\nAround 400 BC, Ma'in and Qataban broke free of the Sabaean yoke and expanded their territories considerably. At the height of their power in the third and second centuries B.C., Qataban extended its power as far as the Indian Ocean in the south and to within a day's journey of the Sabaean capital Marib in the north. As these other ancient kingdoms of Southern Arabia grew in strength, it became urgent for the Sabaeans, seeing themselves hemmed in, to fortify Marib, their easternmost base. They also managed to bring the routes leading into the Yemenite highlands more and more under their control.\n\nFor centuries, the Arabische kingdoms have been more or less equal in strength. They rival one another for control of Southern Arabia, but in a shift of power is about to take place…" "True"

I found a small problem.
As a base for my Translations I use the latest german Translation from Shogun2_Account.
But it seems that Massilia has no text at all. That is maybe because I don't own the requiered expansion packs.
Can someone provide me with all massilla based lines?

Thanks

[Rafkos]

All you have to do is just open up the DeI pack and look into the Text tables, you should find it easily

[Noobier]

Sorry, I started using pack file manager today, so i have no clue how the strings are sorted and can't find anything.
I don't even know if i have to open the dei "core" pack or the translation...

Wait wait, you are right... found it... XD

It's all the fac1_ stuff?

[Rafkos]

At first you should read the "How to start translating?" spoiler (first post), that should explain you some basics of how Rome 2 handles localization files. Also, on the very end of the post you'll find a tool, read the instructions and let me know how it goes Also, you can find what was added in certain versions of DeI too, just check a specific part of the first post.

[Noobier]

I've read it.
I know how to export from a pack file.
After that I used notepad to translate the file.
But. I did not added everything to the languea fix file, but instead the 0.96 german translation file, because I don't want to translate everything from scratch.
But I found out, that all massilla strings were missing in the translation. So I have to add them from the original files.

I think they are a bit spread around the deirelease.pack, hope if I add all the fac1_ stuff It will fix this.

[Noobier]

Nope this wasn't the strings I needed.... nothing has changed...
*sings* I'm just a noob, trying not to become noobier...

Need help. ^^
