The Germanic locust

[tumbitiger]

Playing 3 play throughs atm, and it always seems like the Germans are an unrelenting force cutting down all factions in it's path. With my Antiiginoid and Roman campaigns they have slaughtered their way to the alps and Dacia by turn ~40. But with my latest Carthage campaign they have spread from the Baltic sea all the way south capturing the entire province of Italia and knocking Rome out by turn 25! Must be something in the water of the Rhine. Anyone else seeing something similar to ze Zerg Germans?

There is a high probability we will be implementing this submod for 1.0 that helps with small faction over expansion: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...cruitment-BETA

Seems like a good idea. But personally I would enjoy for the continued recruitment bonuses that higher city center building give...

Cheers Dresden, sounds interesting and should help the major factions establish empires more frequently.

I know for one that this submod by Dresden helps with Suebi not becoming a powerhouse so try it

I have experienced the Suebi horde in my Rome games....220BC was like 420AD!

Same for me as Rome. Lugii and Suebei both get huge, expanding all the way to the black sea and into illyria. Just spent a few years pushing them back into Germany while I'm gearing up for the 2nd punic war. I'll try the limited recruitment mod, thanks Dresden!

I just started a new Rome campaign (vh/h) with latest version and had the same experience at approximately the same turn count. Don't get me wrong, it was unexpected and sort of fun to fight off a Suebi invasion of Italy at turn 35. However, as I sent agents north I see they have steamrolled at least 6 or 7 factions already, which no small faction should be able to do that early in the game. I didn't notice this behavior with other small factions -- must be something unique to German income/behavior?

Same observation here on h/n. I'm playing Gaul, while I'm expanding east aggressively I'm tearing only through Suebei and Lugii.
