How do you make ships in Europa Barbarorum as Sweboz or other Barbarians in campaign?

Are they any unique units that you can make in Scandinavia with type 4 and not type 1? I noticed that the buildings are pretty much the same no matter which government you have and that making govnt level 1 give you no faction or even no units at all to recruit in a city... weird

Before you start ANY campaign with a new faction for the first time, the recruitment viewer is your best friend. Take a look at what you can recruit and where and at what level MIC you need (and also factional or regional). Will save you a tonne of time upgrading MIC's that have no real benefit.

No regional MIC units in Scandinavia. Only factional units. Therefore NO REASON AT ALL TO BUILD A TYPE IV GOVERNMENT THERE. Type I is ideal. Type II still makes sense. The rest doesn't.

This one:

requires Type III government or better (Factional MIC 3).

Well, you need to build up the factional MIC of course. In your homeland regions, it's always the best idea to build a Type I government wherever you can. Otherwise you may not have access to your own elite troops.
