Yes, let them build up and max out, then take them. And unless you play with the mod making expansion historical the Romans will at some point come knocking on your door. And Romans are the absolute worst enemy I have faced as Sweboz. Great fun :-) Especially when you ambush them.

Yeah, I already figured Roman domination was the worst case scenario, but this makes me even more sure of that. The annoying thing is the Romans have no enemies now and as such are free to throw troops at the Central European defensive stacks. But luckily they've been losing hard for the most part

Great thread. I started playing EB after some time and my choice were the Swebozez. I only began my campaign, but I must say that they are great. I conquered few towns with starting army (Dugundiz and bodyguards, disbanded cavalry, archers were used as garrison troops).
My expansion path was Ascaucalis, Gawjam~Rugoz, Gawjam~Kimbroz, Gawjam~Habukoz, Gawjam~Heruskoz and Arctaunon. Perhaps not ideal, but it worked. I got from debt and started assembling an army of Jugundiz, Dugundiz and Medijnikos for some further conquest.
I also like your description of temples (God of Badass, :D) and agree with Wathonoz as better boss than Zeus/Jupiter. Actually, Odin is one of my favourite gods. It is interesting that the savage barbarian Germans (and later Vikings) chose god of wisdom as their main god. I have read somewhere on the forum, that sweboz can add really high experience bonus with their temples. Temple guide by Ludens says, that level 3 Nerthuz gives +3 exp, but it is not aviable for construction. Does this mean, that I have to conquer town with level 3 temple of the god with same attribute (I think it is fun)? Is there some other building or wonder that gives exp bonus?

It´s the temple of Deiwosz, not Nerthuz, which gives experience to your troops. Build level 3 Gouvernment and a field of games, and you can crank out 4 chevroned units ( best suited for Actauron, where you can get Chatti Spearmen and Chatti Jugundiz with low tier level barracks, otherwise you´d have to cheat and demolish your level 1 government building after constructing the barracks ).
