It's true, that with Sweboz, it's a different use of your general, as He's on foot, and, although a real killing machine, for isn't the equal of spartans, also on foot...

Actually, Swêboz FMs got 18 morale, which is 1 point more than Spartans; plus, they're better vs. infantry. They make excellent assault troops (especially in early game), perfectly suited for taking and holding gates of wooden walls (don't use them on stone walls because your general has an odd habit of jumping off the wall, as I discovered, much to my dismay, when playing Saba). In this assault role, they are even better than KH generals (who have no swords) and Sabaean generals (who have no banner-bearer, which leaves your general more exposed to enemy fire).

Of corse, i've always let's say, 3 FM thgat I keep for my rich cities, so they, only, get good managment profile... still, i don't know how to roleplay them, as they're not cowards, but i'd not take the risk to send them in battle, as, with the ''mighty'' sweboz economy, only those High ranked management men gives me income!

Would you recommend Swêboz FMs governing (all kinds of) cities? I'm asking because I often wondered if they are any good for governing at all. I hate it when my governors become useless drunkards and ruin my economy, which happens quite a few times with Swêboz.

P.S.: sorry for commandeering the thread...
