@Beowulf: I have never played later than 200 with Sweboz, and the reform requires year 193 b.c. or something. Celtic Reforms, or Roman Polybian, do happen correctly, though. Actually you don´t need the heavier German troops, since the Bodyguards are the heavy infantry ( and you always can hire mercs ), but for RP reasons, once my FL has united the Tribes and even advanced in neighboring regions, i´d like to have a native HC instead of hired Celtic troops. The only one that halfway fits those requirements is Celto Germanic Medium Cavalry, but it takes ages to get them, since i do tend to blitz a bit, at least to get out of the debt, but like to build up my settlements, - i´m no foolish AI who only has eyes for barracks ^^
