Yeah, you're right; I was wondering about that myself. I remember back in the early versions of EB, the Sweboz had loads of elite units that are now deemed as either ahistorical or too small in numbers to make a difference. Currently, the Sweboz have one of the weakest unit rosters, much stronger than Saba of course, but still weak. All they get are crappy spear levies pretty much and their Gaizoz Frije spam is only pathetic, albeit annoying. Slaganz possess AP attack, but they are still crappy, having low defence - the Celtic Axemen are much, much better, being an exceedingly effective unit worthy of being a "Surprisingly Good". Dugunthiz are woefully underpowered in comparison to the above-average standard line spearmen of other factions. Druhtiz Herusku are relatively nice, but once again, their defence is pitiful and they are available in only one province. Herunautoz are their only decent non-elite infantry, and those still have lower than average defence for their troop type. The only truly threatening Sweboz units are Speutagardaz, Thegnoz Drugule and the Herthaganautoz (bodyguards). But all of those are usually fielded in very meager quantities.
