Now it is the turn of barbarians. The choices are:
-Spain
-Gaul
-Germania /
-Britannia
-Scythia
Before I vote, I am going to think about it:
Gaul has a moderate starting position, its roster is medium if not for the forest warband. It lacks spearmen and shock troops and it will meat the Romans early on. Spain (unfortunately) lacks spearmen and archers (although they have those wonderful scuttari and bull warriors. I don't like Scythia as they don't are cavalry-based and have no strong infantry so even if they will have any success early on, they will loose to the Romans (when I command the Scythians). Britain, on the other hand (even though has a good starting positron) is too infantry-based has no cavalry at all, which is a great shame and therefor are not my favorite barbarian faction. The remaining faction is Germania. They are my favorite: These guys have great cavalry, exelant infantry and also they have one of the for best (in my opinion) units in the game beserkers. (The other units are Urbans, Spartans, and the Pharaoh's bowmen) A unit of beserker can easily destroy ANY other infantry unit in the game.
