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

    That new Suebi unit: "horse runners" -- do they use horses as they are historically supposed to (ride horse to destination, then dismount, charge in, do damage, hop back on horse and ride away) or they're just foot skirmishers? I suspect the latter.

    Skirmishers.

    Can you imagine how fiddly that would be if they were the other thing?
