    Siege assaults are impossible cause you can't attack with your horse archers and your infantry is the worst in the game
    Are horse archers still restricted by a limited firing arc?

    I am not sure but I don't think so. It may show an arc but they'll happily shoot anything in any direction when on the move. So will skirmisher cav.

    Horse archers will get creamed by slingers in a siege assault of a major settlement.

    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    That's pretty much always been the case, even in R1. My question is referring to the firing arc I've seen in video clips. Is that still the case?

    I don't remember seeing firing archs for horse archers in R2. That was something implemented in Empire (I guess, they just "copied-pasted" the musket cavalry firing arch for horse archers there).

    In addition to the DLC units, the Suebi also got 4 new units (some cavalry, swordsmen, and skirmishers) plus a number of other free units.

    A nice overview:

    Interesting to say the least... but I will be adamant about not using these units in my armies.... so I cant say that it will affect me much
