The Burgundii are a minor, non-playable barbarian faction in Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion. They were made playable in Total War: Rome Remastered along with several other factions.
Description[]
The Burgundii were part of a large-scale migration of Germanic tribes that created turmoil along the north-eastern frontier of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD. The Burgundii clashed frequently with Roman forces until the Emperor Valentinian I enlisted them to fight against the Alemanni, another troublesome Germanic tribe.
In the 5th century AD, some of the Burgundii migrated westwards and settled along the Middle Rhine as 'foederati' - foreign tribes that Rome subsidised in exchange for military assistance.
Like many foederati, the Burgundii are loyal only to Roman coin. With the empire's resources stretched, this loyalty is strained - If Rome can no longer line their pockets, then it may be time to end Burgundii bloodshed in its name.
Trivia[]
- They share the same unit roster as the Alemanni.
