    The Langobards were vassals of the Huns in 436. It's recorded in their origin legends. Their king was a Hunnic appointed ruler (in fact, that is also recorded in their legends).

    The style of Lamellar you are thinking of Diocle didn't exist at that time because it had not yet been introduced by the Avars (Hepthaltite breakaway group. In fact they were just overthrowing the Chionite Huns at this time).

    Yes, in fact the Langobards are one of the most difficult factions to represent in IB, as up to this date virtually nothing is known of them, like armor, weapons, tactics, settlements etc. An Italian friend of mine gave me a copy of an italian history book on them, but sadly it focuses more on their invasion of mainland Italia.

    Cheers

    They were culturally distinct from their Thuringian, Rugian, and other Germanic neighbors, but I don't have anything on archaeological finds from the region to help you guys with them.

    You built a mod beyond imagining... the pinnacle of waiting and the envy of the forums.... did you think it would last? The eternal mod, a glorious monument to power, culture, and history. But the old wolf lies wounded by the lack of staff and circled by vultures. Worried to death by a thousand, tiny faceless mouths... brought low by your own ambition... these are the death throes of the release of IBFD... the land of western europe dims... and gathers... If you have such precious time to complete your factions... for your units to be finished. Even at the moment of your final release... you will take no.. comfort in oblivion... For I'm planning to play the out you. I ride with my amazing rig! I bring the end of sleep! I am! The scourge! of MODS!! *Smashes keyboard* And I will play your mod... forever...

    Is there somwhere the lsit of faction for this mod? I was not able to find any. I hope that extended faction limit of M2TW engine will make for some interesting factions which did not managed to get into the RTw IB mods e.g. Rugii, Thuringi, Gepids, Geats, Antes...

    hI Demagogs, I just added the thuringii and gepids as factions to be included in the mod
