    that's what I mean:

    those Wodanawulfaz-troops are a nice idea but if u look at their appearance they are Hypertrichosis-sickers, and since this illness is extremely rare (sources say 1 in 10 billion worldwide!!) it's strange that u can recruit troops of Hypertrichosis-sickers as Suebi (=Latin for Sweboz).

    so it would be great to replace the sickers with real ulfhednars. their appearance would be like f.e. strong, tall, dark-blonde Germanic tribesmen who wear a wolf pelt and a wolf head over the top of their face equipped with a two-handed axe (swords have been rare at that time for Germanic tribes) it even doesn't cause that much work for an experienced unit card creator..

    I think I am not the only one having his eyes upon the Sweboz in EB. (I know more people are more into Rome or Greece, but there are enough barbarians out there, who will come over u if they don't feel pleased!)
    perhaps I could help the EB-team that is responsible for the Sweboz with some research or anything else they need, which I hopefully can provide?

    Uh... the black colour is war paint for psych warfare and night-fighting camo you know, if that's what you were talking about.

    As for big guys wearing pelts and carrying big axes, that's the Merjoz for ya. Although judging by the colour that fur comes from bears or such. As for making them blonde, recall the pretty strict physical requirements for fighting armed like that - whatever status symbol light hair may have had, I'd imagine the fellows were selected and qualified by far more on the basis of suitably impressive physique and bravery.

    Note however that IIRC the Ferulharjoz/Gastiz - the elite troopers in mail that also make up the Sweboz GenBG unit - have been made light- if not outright blond-haired.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    that's a NO to ulfhednars
    Didn't see it was just paint on the wodanawulfazs' skin, because in the unit description (as far as I remember) it sounded like those guys were extremely hairy but I must have been wrong.
    towards the purple problem: I meant the Spearband (green cape with purple clothes) and the Merjoz (but not the bear fur, their trousers are purple)
    Sorry, I wont get any longer on your nerves!
    keep up the good work! hope I was able to give at least a little bit of constuctive input on the Sweboz.
    cheers
