Sweboz feedback

Well, you're not the only one thinking their morale (the Hearth Troop) should be higher, so it's always a possibility.

The Cherusci sword unit (Druhtiz [Troop] Heru-sk-u [Sword-ish/Cherusci-ish]) is supposed to help the fact that there were so many spearmen that all seemed the same, so making it a spearman again would leave the question back: why bother with spearman a, b, or c? currently the Chauci have better defense, and the Skanza spearman has better charge/tiny bit more morale.

With the exception of someone making a good case for keeping the hand-to-hand spears for the Hearth Troop, it really sounds like a good idea to give them a long-range throwing-spear (barbed possibly), Swabian, one of our researches has some great ideas for re-doing the art of the spear-tips and adding barbed spears: but i do not know how possible that sort of thing is in the RTW engine, and it might be something for EB2. It would be something like a shield-destroyer or even anti-personel / an opposite of the pilum AP.
Anyways, the Celtic Neitos really perform well, so it wouldn't be bad to have the Hearth Troop so, especially because there are so many spearmen in the Germanic Roster, no fear of not having anti-cavalry.

I really do like the idea of swords among the Wolfskins, especially with sword-cults and all: which reminds me, Tiw is vastly underrepresented usually considering that Wodan wasn't the all-father for quite a while, I wonder if there's any way to hit that home better for the players... oh well.
Anyways, I'll keep you interested and interesting fans updated on plans for the future Sweboz :)... hopefully I won't get sacrificed for revealing too much... but if so, I'll just come back wiser of the "secret" (runes)

btw, if you guys come up with anything extra for the temples descriptions, like god's aspects or patronage (as close to the EB timeline as possible), let me know... I feel like i might have missed some good stuff, as usual, Norse mythology is greatly rich, but the whole tales of some of those characters can't fit so well
on a side note- it seems I made a mistake i rearranged the grove to the 1st level temple before shrine, for logic, but the pictures now are funny so grove looks like a rock arrangement / altar of stone (harugaz- i only changed this word because it's borrowed from Celtic karrika: otherwise a very cool word) and the shrine looks like a grove.
