Historical background

The Jutes were a Germanic people who probably lived on the peninsula of Jutland, named after them, in today's Denmark. According to Bede they came to Britain in the 5th century together with Angles and Saxons and settled in Kent, on the Isle of Wight and on the facing coast of Hampshire. No kingdom of their own on the continent is recorded; the origin and identity of the Jutes are disputed among scholars.

Strategic overview

The Jutes rule Scandinavia and islands in the north. Half of their fields lie on the coast, and their land has almost no roads, so you move troops and goods mostly by ship. Forest is plentiful, and wood is their building material.

As a barbarian realm you raise Tribes, up to 5 a month, the last two of them at a surcharge. Your troops are cheaper and more numerous but of lower quality. You can only form a friendship with other barbarian realms.

What to watch

Without roads, armies move slowly on land. Move troops and goods by ship along the coast.
Neither food nor salt deposits: food comes from Latifundia on your plains, salt only through trade.
The Visigoths and Ostrogoths are your main land neighbours, both barbarian. A friendship to the south keeps your back free for the sea.
Your troops are the cheapest on the map on average, but you also have the fewest troop types.
