If you’re expanding the map and adding new cultures, are you including the Continental/German Saxons as well?

Is Barbaricum 355AD the upcoming Germania focused campaign?

I actually have an Old Saxon dictionary, although you can also find the terms online. They did have a word for Thegn, spelt Thegan. That could be used for an elite heavy infantry unit. One word for lord that they had was Drohtin, so maybe the general’s bodyguard unit (could be heavy infantry or cavalry, that’s up to you guys) could be called Drohtin’s retinue/bodyguards. If you’d like a third unit, ėthiling was the term for nobleman.

Yes I do actually! They had a class of warrior nobles called the edhilingui (related to the term aetheling) that you could add as an elite chainmail armored heavy infantry unit. They also had a class of freemen called the frilingi who were lower class freemen, that could be added as light infantry or skirmishers.

Will you guys be adding specific units to the Old Saxons?

Thank you for considering it! If you guys would like any historical help or suggestions on it if you do decide to put it in, I am more than willing to be of help if I can. I’d love to see them implemented, especially seeing how good the mod is.

Do you guys intend on adding a Pagan Saxon faction into this mod? It starts before Saxony had officially been taken over by the Franks. I was thinking that perhaps the Saxon rebel provinces could be replaced by a playable Saxon faction that would fight against the Frankish faction. It would only make sense seeing that there are already Saxon units that are recruitable as mercenaries in the Saxon provinces.
