Re: Recommended barbarian faction (preferably Celtic or Germanic) for a quick run?

Their spearmen are surprisingly good - maybe not the best, but more than good enough to hold for your amazing support troops. Add to all of that the Arti, which are a unique shock infantry unit with scare and huge two-handed axes. I think their weapon entry is identical to the falx, so basically you have Thracian falxmen with medium armor plus fear. Mostly though, there's no better time to try an ambush faction than now with the new battle features.

I haven't touched Iberians since the earliest versions of DEI. But I remember their multicolored infantry. They were efficient plus good looking.
