 You should also not neglect the fact that Caesar used the intertribal enmity within Gaul to his advantage. Most Gallic tribes were also internally divided whether to fight against Caesar or side with him. You should also not neglect the fact that Caesar used the intertribal enmity within Gaul to his advantage.

 ===== Roles ===== ===== Roles =====
 +Most players in the game will be a member of a Celtic tribe of Gaul. Each of these tribes or collective of tribes will be headed by a King, Queen or Vergobret, who is assisted by the tribe's druid and local chiefs. In the case of a collective of tribes these local chiefs may well be local kings or queens of their own proper tribe. The following tribes will be played:
  
 +  * The tribe of the Arverni and their subordinate tribes
 +  * The tribe of the Aedui and their subordinate tribes
 +  * The tribe of the Bellovaci
 +  * The tribe of the Eburones
 +  * The tribe of the Remi and their subordinate tribes
 +  * The collective tribes of Armorica
  
 +Each tribe will have its own druid. Because of their important status in Gallic society, you can select this specific role when registering.
 +
 +Some players will be a member of Caesar's staff, that is one player will play Julius Caesar himself while others play his direct subordinates.
 +
 +Some roles will also be played by individuals:
 +  * Bards roam the country in search of food, beer, wine and treasure in exchange for song.
 +  * Roman traders are actually quite important to export raw materials, like iron, fur and slaves from Gaul to Rome and import luxury goods like wine, olive oil and garum back from Rome to the Gallic kings and chiefs.
 +  * The High Druid of Gaul and his Emissaries: these are played roles, **but** we will only disclose after the game, who from the tribes' druids actually played these roles, unless they openly declare themselves.
 +
 +Naturally we will also need a lot of umpires. Some will be responsible as team control and others as map umpires.
 +There will also be an overall game umpire and an NPC umpire who effectively plays all roles that are not played by players.
