    Where are the Thurengians ?
    The Thurengians are one of the biggest tribes conföderations in Middle Germany between 350-530. From Lower Saxony in the north to Danube river in the south, from Werra river to Bohemia and Selisia, perhabs also to parts of Pannonia sometimes. Only an coalition between Franks and Saxons and the downfall of her biggest Allies - the Ostrogoths - sealed the downfall of her last king Hermenefred in the battle of Burg Scheidungen. After this his sons fight again from Eastern Thrurengia and perhabs wuth some cliant tribes (Werenofield=Warnes) and from Bohemia against the franks.

    Why we dont see them in RTW Attila ???

    They're probably in game, just not playable.

    The Thuringians (Latin Toringi as they were known in the 5th century), should be in the game. However, they lasted only a short period, in the sources from roughly 430 to 560 or so.

    Yes - Toringi came from Duroz = Durii (Hermundurii), but the region and time frame is much larger like the later called region - 350 to 331 - I am also a Torengian. Many peoples in Sxaony and Saxony-Anhalt speaking also Thurengian or mixed dialects today.
    The sphere of this tribe faederation was much bigger - some say full middle Europe in the 5th cent. They were the main enemy of the pre german Franks.

    They are in the game, they just released a Faction Map on Facebook. CA left a lot of nations out though, I don't see the Scirii at all and they're a major faction, yet the Bastarnae are in there when they were assimilated 200 years ago.
