    Default Re: Sweboz (Germans) slightly underpowered

    Wow, I like that train of thought concerning tactics, Watchman, because ususally people argue how stupid barbarians were in comparison to Romans/Greeks, and although the shieldwall (described as phalanx by Caesar) was used, nobody really points out how effective and brilliant it was until medieval times when in fact it is along the lines of the best you can get, the legion and phalanx being the ultimate derivatives of a shieldwall... it's funny that in the Civil War even people still stood in lines- brilliant!

    *How's this idea guys... what if there were some better accessible +command or +morale traits for German family members, which would make their performance not a SURE thing, but dependable on the general and situation?
