The Goths were a collection of Germanic Tribes that constantly warred with the Roman Empire during its later years. Following the fall of the Empire, the Goths divided into the Ostrogoths (East Goths) who settled in Italy, and the Visigoths (West Goths)who settled in the region that would later become Spain.
[edit] Age of Empires II Profile

The Goths are a member of the Eastern/Central/Northern European culture of civilisation (together with the Teutons, Vikings and Huns).

The Goths advantages predominantly focus on Infantry. Gothic infantry are cheaper than that of other civilisations. Their unique unit is the Huskarl, which is usually created from the Castle, however in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors expansion pack they can research their Unique Technology Anarchy, which allows Huskarls to be created from the Barracks. In the Imperial Age, they can research another unique technology called Perfusion, which allows all Barracks units to be created 50% faster.

One major disadvantage of Goths is their inability to build Stone Wall (having to rely on Palisade Wall for defence) or get any tower above the basic Watch Tower. However they tend to make up with it with their strong and quick-to-create military.
[edit] Campaigns

The Goths are featured frequently during the Barbarossa campaign. Many of the enemy teams are of the Goth civilisation during the first part of the campaign, although during the later missions the enemy tend to be Saracens or Persian.

The Goths are also seen in the Attila the Hun campaign on the level Catalaunian Fields as the divided Ostrogoths and Visigoths. The Ostrogoths are allied to Atilla, however the Visigoths are on the opposing team, allied with the Western Roman Empire (blue/Byzantines).

The Goths are vicious. A castle age huskarl flood is very hard to stop, as the huskarl outclasses most other castle-age infantry units, and are virtually immune to arrows.
