The Sweboz are awesome, and not underpowered at all.
Just wanted to say, having never actually played a 'barbarian' faction for anymore than 10 turns, and never having played Sweboz EVER in the entire time i've had RTW or any mods for it, that the Sweboz are awesome. The unit skins are awesome, the generals are awesome, the fact that basically every unit you can recruit throws missile weapons before physical combat is awesome, the starting position on the map is awesome, the traits and retinues are awesome, all the special buildings and descriptions around the Sweboz area are awesome, the various different tribe traits that generals get and their descriptions are awesome... But most of all, the music is fantastic. Suits the faction and the area of the map you're in to a tea(tee, whatever) and really makes the whole campaign and battles a lot more enjoyable.
Basically i just want to say that the Sweboz are one of the best done factions in the mod, really impressive and brilliant to play as.
Oh and the cavalry too... if you think the cavalry is underpowered then stop charging them head on into spears, because that must be what you're doing otherwise you wouldn't say they're underpowered because... Well, in a nutshell, they're simply not.
One simple question... Can i ever build any roads above dirt roads?

Indeed!
And I don't believe you can, no.

Never really tried the Sweboz, may in near future...thanks for your defence of their faction! :)

Engineering is fun and interesting.
Re: The Sweboz are awesome, and not underpowered at all.
Why? Are you an engineer of sorts?
Re: The Sweboz are awesome, and not underpowered at all.
I remember they were awesome in 0.81, but now that they have ethnicities, new units and traits and no placeholders and such, they may have lost some of their appeal.
Joking.

No.
Generall strategy for the Sweboz: Try to wait with the conquest of other factions' towns until these have been decently developed. The neighbouring factions are able to build most of the buildings minimum one level higher than you can.

Sweboz are t3h p0w3r, yup. Even as the Marian Romans they gave me a run for my money, and kept on surviving as I conquered them until I was way further east than I had wanted to be. XD
