I know they sacked Rome. What else can y'all tell me about them? Anything interesting to read about them in?
They are pretty much a bunch of tribals who were so brutal, everyone feared them, similar to how people saw the scotts. Eventually, they fueded amongst themselves so much, they either became or were assimilated into other germanic cultures.

Source so I can check facts? I mean tribals do not have to be 100% technologically inept. Tribalism is a form of government too.

the term germanic tribes is a bit inaccurate for most of their history especially the era the goths starred. Nations or confederations us more accurate.
Goths and migration era germanics were basically modelling their societal hierarchies off the romans. Traditional germanic societies were forest communes of savage ecological hippies where the clan was the center/unit of life and possesions and land were distributed evenly.

They used to be a minor threat against the Romans, then the Romans killed Stilicho and went on a killing spree murdering the women and children of their Germanic levies. This lead to all those Germanic levies running to seek safety at Alaric I, the Goths now becoming a major threat and being able to sack Rome.
