With Germans are enough. XD.
And I have good stuff with this, is one of my favorites. They are undefeated Parthians/Sassanids.
I intend to separate them as two factions.

Check this out:
They seems to forget that without joining the upper part of the armor and the lower part of the armor, the wearer can't even receive a proper armor protection. Plus do the Parthians need such armor where it can only provide 1 layer of protection instead of 2 layer of protection?

Parthian units from EB:
1. Core Parthian unit, most of them belongs to the Parthian Army
Shivatîr-î Pahlavânîg (Parthian Horse-Archers)
Asavârân-î Dêhbêd (Parthian Noble Medium Cavalry)
Shivatîr-î Zrêhbârân (Parthian Armoured Horse-Archers)
Spâhbâdê Pahlavânig (Early Parthian Bodyguard)
Asavârân-î Âzadân (Parthian Noble Cataphracts)
Pahlavân-î Zrêhbârân (Parthian Cataphracts)
Pahlavân-î Grîvpânvar (Parthian Late Elite Cataphracts)
Pushtîghbânê Shâhigân-î Pahlavânîg (Parthian Late Bodyguard Cavalry)
2. Infantry
Kôfyârên-î Verkhânâ (Hyrkanian Hillmen)
Gund-î Nîzagân (Parthian Spearmen)
Parthohellenikoi Thureophoroi (Parthian Hellenic Infantry)
Shivatîr-î Mardâ (Mardian Archers)
Thanvarê Pârsig (Heavy Persian Archers)
IMHO, due to technical problems and EB team's objectives some unit was created as two or three kinds of cavalry unit for example: Asavârân-î Âzadân, Pahlavân-î Zrêhbârân and Shivatîr-î Zrêhbârân should merged togather as 1 unit.

Sounds good.
What do you think about Belgae?
(Belgae) Gallo-Germanic tribes
Tacitus also records that the Nervii and Treveri were also eager to claim
Germanic rather than Gaulish origin.
The Belgae were a group of Gallo-Germanic tribes living in northern Gaul,
between the English channel and the west bank of the Rhine, from at least
the 3rd century BC. They were later found also in Britain, and possibly
even Ireland. The Belgae gave their name to the Roman province of Gallia
Belgica, and very much later, to the modern country of Belgium.
Caesar claims that most of the Belgae were descended from tribes who
had long ago crossed the Rhine from Germania. However most of the
tribal and personal names recorded are identifiably Celtic. It is also said
that the Belgae were descendants of Trebata, the legendary founder of
Trier (oldest German city in south-west Germany). The city of Trier was
founded by the Assyrians around 2000 BC, lead by Trebeta, the son of the
great Assyrian King Ninus.
The Remi were the most prominent tribe of the Belgae and their capital,
Durocortum (modern Reims in France), became the capital of the Roman
province of Gallia Belgica.
To these men death in battle is glorious,
And they consider it a crime to bury the body of such a warrior;
For they believe that the soul goes up to the gods in heaven,
If the body is exposed on the field to be devoured by the birds of prey’.
(Silius Italicus (2nd c. AD) Punica 3 340-343)
Well, do we need that?
Some claims by the Romans sounds absurd.

I have some doubts on Germanic warships especially on medium class warship, perhaps we should give the Germanic people some sort of boat instead of warship?

Focus on several important tribes would be better than any other minor tribes, some Nomads and Germanic Tribes like the Huns and Vandals should have lower priority in the lists.
-
If we fit all these tribes into 0AD, there would be no space for other factions anymore. All we need to do was to identify what Germanic tribe have the most impact to Rome and how powerful a Germanic Tribe that could change the fate of the known world and also do not stray too far from 0AD time line.
-
They are noted as Suebi.
"Cherusci" Ethnically, Pliny the Elder groups them with their neighbours the Suebi and Chatti, as well as the Hermunduri, as Hermiones, one of the Germanic groupings said to descend from an ancestor named Mannus.
wikipedia-
Ceasar lumps them all into one "German" tribe which is not really true.
The trouble is there's a dozen of the so called "Germanic" tribes, are we going to make them all? IMHO it would be fine to concentrate on some important Germanic tribes like Suebi and the Goths would do while the others should become DLC factions.
-
Maybe the Ethiopians, Garamantines and Maure could fit in the list?
IMHO, Bantu could hardly made into the list although the Ancient Egyptian acknowledged their existence, here's an article from http://www.kaa-umati.co.uk/Bantu%20in%20Ancient%20Egypt.htm that may help.

Well, they shouldn't be playable nor they will become any real mini faction because they have no real identity.

O, AoE and RoR.
One of the first RTS i played decades ago, when all RTS was a simple game of building infrastructure, resources gathering and arms conflict.

The confusion which i mean that a Macedonian Hetairos was a Champion Cavalry while a Seleucid Hetairos was not, the former cannot perform food gathering task (meat gathering) while the latter was able to perform such task because they are no longer considered as Champion Cavalry. The another problem is will the Seleucid Hetairos who have become a Kataphraktos retains the ability to collect food or they lost their basic ability and become a dedicated soldier?
-
Will there be any confusion between Macedonian Hetairos and the Seleucid Hetairos when the Seleucid was introduce in the game?
