Historical background
The ancestors of the Visigoths crossed the Danube in AD 376 fleeing the Huns, defeated a Roman army at Adrianople in 378 and sacked Rome under Alaric in 410. In 418 Rome settled them as federates in Aquitaine, where they founded the Kingdom of Toulouse. After their defeat by the Franks at Vouillé in 507 their kingdom shifted to Hispania, with Toledo as capital. It ended with the Arab invasion of 711.

The Visigothic Kingdom has the highest share of plains and, after Egypt, the most food deposits: the granary of northern Europe. It lies open between Germania, the Ostrogoths, the Jutes and Rome.
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
- Plains carry the highest population density and are the only ground for Latifundia. Your land is ideal for fast growth.
- Surplus food is your trade good; salt you have to buy.
- Friendship is possible with Germania, the Ostrogoths and the Jutes, but not with Rome.
- Open land is hard to defend. Keep a mobile reserve instead of manning every border densely.
