Europa Barbarorum

[khelvan]

Not true - I was able to add "barb cavalry dacian" units to Numidia by tacking on a single line in the North Africa section of the mercenaries file. Granted, the unit had the "grey peasant" unit card, but it was still hireable as a mercenary in that area without creating a different unit.

The Economy section would suit me well, as I study it as well as History. I researched most European factions, especially the Germans and Celts and the Scythians and Sarmantians for EB with Angadil. I also could advise about the missile weapons and balance them. I have only limited mod-experience, but I usually learn very fast when I focus on something.

For fast changes:

I would outright remove the Gaul Forester and the Chosen Archer Warband for the Germans and give them instead the "Archer Warband". The Gauls should get a Slinger, the Germans a Warband similar to the Britain and Gaul while having their Phalanx Warband only available at higher levels. No Axemen and Chosen Axemen for the Germans, instead a "Chosen Swordsmen"
No Warhounds.

This are just very small and very fast changes, but the gameplay would get far more historic as you can not rely on your superarchers and wardogs...

Uhm,removing the axemen?
And replace them with swordsmen?
I say give em a shirt instead.

Well there are very very few findings of axes in germanic warrior graves, although in some regions the axe was more important than in others. Southern Sweden was surly on of this, and may even have been the originator of the throwing axe. I have seen a rockcarving of a Swedish "francisca"

Anyway a German unit with a sword is a must, the Axemen could be restricted the Scandinavian province..
