No Venetic?

Post by Hrafnagudh »

I got the game yesterday, I saw that awesome discount and I couldn't say no.
But no matter if ancient or medieval, my question is always the same: where are my beloved Venetic people? I saw there are Ligurians, Illyrians etc, but not my favourite north Adriatic horse herders sons of Antenor :cry:

What kind of army units would you expect? Same as Ligurians? Very different?

Since they were renowned horse herders, I would say something a little more cavalry oriented.

They have such an interesting story, from their escape from Troy onwards (which made them befriend romans, with a "we are like brothers" kind of story, comparing Aeneas and Antenor)

Edit. I made some scans from an archaology book, of some figurative representation of their warriors, if they can be useful and if I am allowed to post them here

Yes, it seems the Veneti is missing from the list. However, it's also hard for me to find a book or two talking about the Venti, let alone their military culture.

I sure miss *something* Italian in the Wolves at the Gate DLC. A generic "Italian City State" list, perhaps? Or who is to fight the Lombards? :?
