    Default Re: Yet another Sweboz question!

    I started a sweboz campaign vh/vh and got surrounded by sauromatae from th east (who are unstoppable unless u have horse archers which u dont cas ur sweboz)

    rome came from the south and then lustaonna, sweboz r so weak vs every faction that apposes them in v/h v/h campaign.

    I had to send a ship with an elite army of naked spear men, gaut spearmen, baltic archers and some elite generals all the way to the south of spain and sack all the cities but with in 4 turns i had only pillaged 2 major cities and the lustaonna were on my back, i now hold 1 settlement in germany and 2 settlements in spain.

    My faction leader has just been slain and i have a general leading my melted forces which now only consist of light iberian spearmen and mercenarys, this is the hardest campaign iv had since playing EB. i wanted a challenge and damn it sure is.

    Its just a shame carthage are sat accross the sea with huge forces and could aid my needs if only they could get on their ships and come accross.

    oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin about... I was playing vh - vh also, but I switched to h - m... big differance, but somewhat, with units balance, your naked dudes really do wonders... too much! (like my blitz of Italia proove) and believe me, when nothing else is to fight, It's so boring, i just stopped the campain, although I only had to conquer Gawjam-Basternoz, and i already had an army 1 turn from it... but he, I don't play when i'm bored of it, no matter close am i from victory! I prefer to read some interesting philosophy books instead!!!
    Opinions are like bacteries : we all have, but it's better to keep them for ourself... (By me!)
