Oh and I concur as to fighting the Sauromatii, winnable but very challenging on hard battle difficulty, those guys are brutal to the Sweboz, forest ambushes are useful when possible.
Do you not mean Slagonez, the normal German Clubmen? They are better than the Chatti ones. I find a mixed group of Medininkas, Slagonez, Wargosez, Heruskez (swordsmen), some FMs, a few Leuce Eupos/German Cav and Ger/naked Celtic spearmen filling the blanks to be very effective in my Sweboz campaign. Against any enemy. Missiles kills other barbarians and the infantry beats the crap out of civilised factions and/or scares the living feces out of them. Then the cavalry chase them down when they flee.

Large pillar of Thiwoz (Tyr) is soooo useful.
