Barbarian Battle Guide (Pic Heavy!)

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

nice guide tho I would rather say it's mainly for Celts.

I have to say... nope! I tested this intensively with most "barbarian" factions. Yesterday I was playing with the Sweboz vs. Romani on a fairly forested map (that has a certain influence). I deployed my units in a thin line, the right flank having Kludda Lugie (or whatever it is called now, is similar to Kluddargos) in two lines, followed by Teceitos and Sloxonez. It was very fun because the charge was very fierce, but at the right it was an astounding success - I routed one Imperial Cohort in contact with the Kludda Lugie and another one shortly followed, so I was able to surround the enemy with AP assault troops and slaughter them. Got a Heroic Victory.

As said, you got to be a bit bold and unorthodox. Certainly this isn't the only good tactic, but "barbarians" are perhaps the best troops for a frontal charge. They are a bit like cavalry alas, the obvious difference is that they are on foot.

Well personally I think the best taktik with Sweboz is to pin the enemy with your hoplites then use your horse-archers to shoot them in the back.
