With seven votes Suebi win. That being said...

Update 1: Meet the Suebi.

We are the Suebi! Not one, but a group of tribes, the Suebi have banded together under one ruler, ready to expand our tribe and subjugate the weak. We do not play well with others, as is represented by a large public order hit if foreign cultures plague our lands. We start landlocked, surounded on all sides by other Germanic tribes, except the puny, weak Celts to our south, the Boii.

Our tribe is overseen by a group of Elder Chiefs, with the rest of the Cheifs making up the opposition. We are currently lead by Chlodochar. At the age of 26, he's a General of great cunning, brought on by his good judgement on and off the battlefield.

The Elder Chiefs also have 2 other important people. Gerulf and Baldovin, both Statesmen (Statesmen are characters important enough to be involved in politics, but don't have control of an army/navy yet).

We also have one character representing the other Chiefs, Karl, the General of our second Army. He's a man known for his good humour, both inspiring confidence in his men, and the people of any land he oversees:

We also have one other characther, Berahthram, our Scout (the barbarian equivelent of a spy).

We are currently in control of 1 territory, Lupfurdum. Surounded on most sides by other Germanic tribes. Unlike everyone else, tribes of the same grouping as us can be absorbed in to our tribe through Confederation. This can be done through war or peace, and unlike Vassals, it permenantly absorbs their lands, and some armies/characters, in to our tribe.
Our first target should probably be the Boii to our south, who we are currently at war with.

So what say you? We have 2 armies that need leading, plus names for those armies, and several future generals, who I will get armies as soon as I can raise them.
Should we go after the Boii first?

They decided to leave my fortress via the circus because the front door was locked to keep Goblins out.  THAT should be an interesting trip back to the Mountainhome.

Could you make the screenshots in future updates a bit smaller? The forums react badly to very wide screenshots.

No prisoners, no mercy. Slaves are for the weak. I say we kill them all and raze their cities to the ground! Shame there's no 'Exterminate' button.

For some reason I feel like someone made a really good Civ V mod when looking at the screenshots.

Anyways, I support smushing the Boii into fine paste. But at the same time should be sending diplomats and the like to the other German tribes. From what I understand we have to be in a position of power to form a Confederacy, and I would prefer that we spent our time smashing foreign invaders instead of fellow Germans. Eventually they'll come over to our camp anyways...

Ya, I was being lazy and just linking straight to the Steam Cloud screenshots. I don't think I can downsize them, so I'll just start using imigur or some such.

Ya, you have to be on good terms AND more powerful. Of course, nothing says power like declaring war and parking a couple armies next to their only city, they tend to REALLY want to join your confederacy at that point from what I've seen, no idea why...

I will update tonight hopefully, the weekend was busy, and full of non-game-playing-time (the worst of times!)

Yeah but the problem is that the German Tribes start out with quite the arsenal troop wise. In every battle you will be evenly matched. Now of course you can jsut conquer them or you can double the trouble for the Gauls...

Been a tad distracted/busy lately, and haven't had a chance to sit down and dedicate myself to playing something that also needs screenshots and writeups. I'm hoping to get something up this week. I plan to restart on Legendary, because really, what was I thinking? Hard? If I'm not failing miserably, I'm not doing it right!
