A very good thought.
I like their division of the Romans into two parts. It can only be love 
The Gaulish people could replace the Celts. The gaulish were the main competitors in Western europe for the Romans. I am thinking of the Gallic War, Caesar called him “Bellum Gallicum”. Have you already thought of it? The english British could correctly replace them with Britons. Would you agree with that too? Both the Gaulish and Britons spoke celtic languages, but different ones. And yes, both peoples played an important role in ancient times.
Teutons could be replaced by Germanic peoples. Teutons were active in the Middle ages, archaic germanic people in antiquity. Would that be a good suggestion?
Through these adjustments, you would have a stronger european bloc, that is in contrast to your mainly mediterranean peoples. That would be good for the balance.

gauls britons picts ibrians all are celtic they can be the ingame celts.goths make a better germanic faction with the infantry rush.
Teutons would be a good option for either greeks or roman empire but those are already taken.slow moving heavy infantry and strong cavalry.
No, that is wrong. With the Picts, it is not certain, that they are of Celtic origin rather of Preindoeuropean. And no, Iberians are definitely not Celts, it was a Preindoeuropean people in todays Catalonia.
Only pure Celts in the iron age is inappropriate and historically incorrect. He also divides the Romans. So he can also divide the Celts into two large parts, the Gaulish and the Britons.

is there a way to play in non-UHD? and do you have a discord channel?
Romae ad Bellum discord started
I have not created the non HD SMX versions yet. Instead I have been focused on just working in format I currently play with intent to make a non HD version in future. If someone would be willing to assist with this that would be helpful!

to show the download speed from mod server… I have gigabit internet and even wifi is restricting my speed, I am getting ~44MB/sec from speed test (350mbps).
from the video you can see I get between 2 MB/s to 11 MB/s hovering in between so take the average around 6.5 MB/s for ALL 7 mods, thats only around 700-800KB/sec download speed. apparently downloading 1 at a time doesn’t change this speed so may as well download everything at once.
wish they would just fix the speed already.

@thieftdp8498 DL speed, file upload limit of 500MB, and game load time due to having mods enabled are three noticeable pain points for me that I would love to have the Devs optimize. These are wants though and not needs as there are workarounds. However in terms of quality of life, they would be amazing.

@SoullessHeathen they aren’t on the radar at the moment, but they would be cool to include. I can picture a Trajan custom campaign of Dacia
I think we need to spend some time on Northern/Barbarian civs in general. So far I just have a few in game civs restricted to Feudal Age to represent Barbarians. This is simply a place holder atm. So if you have suggestions of Civs that should be included you can always join the Discord and share ideas.

A beautiful representation. Do you make this work alone or someone else and with which program?

Thank you, this is the work of sapsan008. He is a 3D artist on CG Trader that has made all these units possible… We started working together almost a year ago when I bought one of his existing game ready Legionary units and he helped format/redesign for AOE 2.
Very talented and professional artist who incorporates feedback and is super easy to work from concept to final rendering.

Incredible work! I’ve never been so excited about a mod before. It’s a great blend of AoE1 and AoE2, and I love the new units you’ve thrown in, as well. Top quality!
