Okay, guys.

It happened. A bunch of barbarians beat us in a fight.

Help me write a bunch of flowery bullshit about how incredibly badass and amazing their leader is so we can save face. Not too badass, though. Still a filthy barbarian. But pretty drat badass. Look, it's a fine balance, that's why I need help, okay?

They were called Rome in their time, but because they were not in Rome and not hellenistic (for the most part) plus spoke primarily greek, armchair historian think they are fuckers.

the best way to deal with invaders is to invade and kill them before they have a chance to invade, join the Legion! :hist101:

its a pretty good deal, you get to murder and rape and loot all you want, and when you're done you get a nice piece of free land in one of the new provinces you created.
