When I search for these names, I get these german wikipedia pages, with some more information about the names and variants (not on all): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbod https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veleda https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannius_(Quaden) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariovist https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catualda https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballomar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gannascus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manowar Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Thanks @Frederick_1 that provides useful reference points for any future challenges / changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vantha Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Most of them lived after AD 1, which I'm not a fan of, but fine. The only one who's definitely too late is Ballomar, since he lived in the second century AD, so I wouldn't include him. @manowar If you make those changes to the PR, I'll merge it.
