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.

Re: State of the Game
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

Re: State of the Game
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.
Re: State of the Game
Skirmishers.
Can you imagine how fiddly that would be if they were the other thing?
Re: State of the Game
Hmm, Germans already had skirmishers; are the new ones considerably different/better?Originally Posted by Sp4
Fidly? Probably, given how long it takes a unit to dismount (maybe could be sped up for such a specialist unit though). Just mentioned it because read of Caesar's troops being caught off guard by German riders who dismounted to fight Caeasar's cavalry (successfully).

Well, yes. They already have skirmishers. They have Germanic youths and I guess some other generic javelin kind of unit as well, like all the Celts have. They get Celtic youths and Celtic javelins, so the Suebi now get another unit that throws javelins.
Hey, the Romans gets 6 different units that hit people with swords and serve exactly the same purpose in any other case as well.
