They most certainly don't suck. They have an excelent military. Have you actualy played as the Germans? Because Dracia will gladly accept an alliance and will almost never attack you because they are being smashed between Macedon, Thrace, and the Brutii.

And besides that, you armies can crush Dracia, Britannia, and the Gauls easily. The Romans are more difficult and you need to wait 'till you tech tree is in full bloom before you can beat the combined Roman forces.

The economy is slow at the begining but it is fueled by your rapid expansionism. Once your economy gets rolling, it dosen't stop either.
