Alemani Uber units

Lombard Berserkers are great when/if you fae large infantry armies, such as WRE armies. They should provide you with plenty of targets, meanwhile you should have cavalry enough to deal with their cavalry. Sit back and watch.

I have had my fun with Berserkers, but the most important thing to do is to keep them back initially. No need to let htem get pasted by cavalry or archers.
If the enemy tries to oppose you in the streets of a city, then these guys really come into their own. Even bodyguards will suffer badly to them (provided they do not get their cahrge in).

The scariest unit I have fought so far is the Celtic Hounds. They are far worse than the Lombard Berserkers. I had three units spearhead an assault on the walls of my city with ladders and the result was NOT pretty. They massacred the Plumbatarii they attacked into and I don't think a word has been created that can adequately describe what they did to the archers that were trapped between them.

Well the stats are in favour of the Berserkers, though the Hounds have ap.

Btw, I was tired of breaking those expensive Golden Bands so easily.
I lowered their defensive stats a little bit but gave them 2HP instead. That should do nicely for now.

Never understood what's the point of Golden Band.
By looking at theirs stats they should've been in 3rd tier barrackis, not 5th.

Yes... And their mercenary form is horribly overpriced. I simply don't fear them. Even lousy Spear Warbands can contain them. Yey, a real powerhouse.

They should have had a throwing axe, instead of that pretend axe stuck to their side. Well they had an axe doing nothing in the demo, I haven't checked since. That would have made them a bit more useful. As it stands, there's very little point in training them, even the Night Raiders are as useful if not more so as they scare infantry and a have shield to protect against missiles.
