00:30These three formidable and warlike Germanic kingdoms stand poised to sweep forth in expansionist campaigns from their tribal homelands.
00:38The Western Roman Empire lies to the south and her border territories weak and rife for the plunder.
00:44The Langebards were originally a small tribe by the name of the Winili, who left the southern parts of Scandinavia
00:49in search of more fertile lands.
00:52Though small in number, they paid tribute to no one, claiming they would rather maintain liberty by arms than to
00:58stain it by the payment of tribute.
01:01When the Winili tribe faced the Vandals, their god, Godan, declared he would give victory to the tribe he first
01:07saw on the day of battle.
01:09Seeing the Winili women warriors with their hair tied around their faces, he asked,
01:13Who are these longbeards? and awarded them victory.
01:17The tribe was known from then on as the Langebards.
01:20Two new elite units available to the Langebards are the Godansmen and Godanschosen.
01:26The Godansmen are a tier 2 medium melee unit with excellent armor-piercing damage and excellent morale.
01:33However, they do have a poor missile block chance.
01:36With a frenzy active ability engaged, get this unit into battle as quickly as possible and get them stuck in.
01:45Godanschosen are a tier 3 heavy melee unit and are superior to the Godansmen in every way.
01:50Boasting high morale, damage, defense and health, this elite unit rivals the god Odin himself.
01:57And will tear chunks out of the enemy and melee, though they may become hard to control.
02:02The Langebards also have access to the Horse Hewers.
02:05While relatively brittle and easy to dispense with, these units have guerrilla deployment on a devastating anti-cavalry specialists.
02:13Striking from cover against unwary riders, they're a force to be reckoned with.
02:19As the spiritual successors of the Suebi, the Alamans intend to forge a new life for their people, away from
02:25the nomadic terror of the Huns.
02:26Regarding themselves as Rome's nemesis, despite several notable defeats, they have nevertheless stripped the Western Roman Empire of much of
02:34its territory.
02:36Led by a tribal confederation of greater and lesser kings, princes and chiefs who claim royal blood, the Alamans levy
02:43a diverse range of Germanic troops to fight for them.
02:47The Bejeweled Nobles are an inexpensive Tier 1, very heavy melee unit, with excellent armor and high morale.
02:54These troops also boost friendly units' morale with the encourageability, and make a good force to build your frontline defenses
03:00around.
03:02Chondamars Raiders are an incredibly elite Tier 3 heavy Skirmisher Cav unit.
03:07With excellent armor-piercing damage and rate of fire, these riders pack nearly twice the ammo of regular Skirmisher Cav.
03:15Also boasting superb missile damage and health, these fearsome riders will set buildings ablaze, and capture positions at a faster
03:22rate.
03:24The Burgundians emigrated from the Baltic island of Bornholm to Northern Europe.
03:29As the centuries progressed, they solidified their position as a power in the north and east of the continent.
03:35Although defeated by the Romans and surrounded by enemies, as the 4th century begins and the authority of the Western
03:40Roman Empire wanes,
03:41many tribes have pushed further into former imperial territory, and the Burgundians are no exception.
03:48Certain units in the Burgundian roster favor barbed weapons.
03:52These were deadly, as once the barbed tip of a spear or javelin pierced the enemy, they would have been
03:57incredibly difficult to remove.
03:58This makes the barbed javelinmen, a unique Tier 2 medium Skirmisher unit, particularly deadly.
04:05These ranged warriors also have the passive snipe ability, enabling them to remain concealed while firing.
04:11With high missile damage and an excellent rate of fire, these units can rain death on unsuspecting enemies.
04:17Barbed lancers are a Tier 2 medium shock cavalry unit, also only available to the Burgundians.
04:23With their high speed and excellent charge bonus, maneuver these deadly riders around your foes to tear at their rear
04:29and flanks.
