Strategy[]

Follow the guide above about making your way towards the Roman Empire. You want to get there before they begin to collapse, that way other Barbarians don't beat you in the race for Rome.

Events[]

From 2 to 495, if the Roman Empire, Western Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Gallia is collapsing, any barbarian tribe can auto-annex some occupied provinces given if you are at war with them. This is limited, you can only annex up to 4 times your country's base tax, invade wisely.
