I am currently advacning quite nice.
I have (in my new game) conquered an amount of roughly 19 provinces.
However, taking rebel Patavium brought me to war with roma, which is quite nasty Considering I need about 6 turns to get Batacori or Spearman reeinforcements.


My field army is composed of two generals units, some Gaullish Mercs, 2 Gaulish Cavalry mercs (Am I just stupid or how do I build German Light Cav?) and some 8 Celtish (non merc) Slingers.


I also discovered that German Skrimishers(Swainoz) are propably amongst the best in the game, hiding, fast moving, stats nearly equal to a Spearman and, as far as I get it, more ammo.
I am beginning to play around with them a bit more, so far, they seem to be the best unit in the German roster. In addition, they have much slightler losses then Framehorjaz thanks to their ability of shooting stuff they dont want to tackle.
