Planned civs

They had, but I think that will be historically ambiguous, because there is a distinction between Iberians - the tribes of Southern Spain - and Iberians - the inhabitants of all Iberian Peninsula. And I don't know which of them Wildfiregames are considering.

The Iberians were are talking about are the Spanish Iberians, particularly the full blooded Iberians of Portugal (Viriato!!) and southern Spain. We are not as keen on showing the Celt Iberians of the north, since they are just that little bit too similar to their Gallic cousins. We want falcata wielding caetrati so we can save the spathas for another civ that is far more famous for them ;)

It would be interesting if one was actually able to find enough information to make a civ out of the Caucasian Iberians :P

What I wanted to say is that all encyclopedias and History books I've looked in don't consider Lusitanians as a faction of the Iberians.

They make a distinction between Iberians - north-african tribes who settled in Southern Spain - and Lusitanians - a mix of celts and swiss tribes who settled in the region that is now Portugal.

Of course, you can always say that the Iberians are those who live in the Iberian Peninsula.

I did not know that. I know the Lusitanti were different but I did not realize that they were considered seperate ethnologically. In a rougher sense you could say we are crafting the Iberians as Spaniards, with Iberians being a far more appropriate word to describe them ;)

So like you say, Iberians as in those peoples living in the Iberian Peninsula.
