Sweboz EB 1.0 comments

Does anyone here feel that the Sweboz in EB are overpowered?

Good luck to you sir!

Actually I think they're fine just the way they are bar a double-handed weapon or two. I've played campaigns with them and against them, I think they're pretty damn tough indeed!

Exactly, they are way overpowered, and their weapons weren't that well made either.

Historical evidence shows that the Sweboz in particular fought with sharpened rocks attached to roughly made pine shafts.

The Sweboz were also nomadic people who mostly slept in trees, hence the name Sweboz, ("Tree-people").

Also, the fact that these people have made such a defense of themselves is very suspicious... They may be a prime target for a lynch.

I think you're getting a bit to much into this mafia thing, Glenn.

Germanic peoples mainly fought using spears indeed, spears called the frame.
No surprise as 'Ger' actually means spear in germanic.Thus spearmen literally.
Now historical works suggest they used shieldwalls. Also all weapons featured ingame were found and determined to be used in this area at this time.

I am truly interested what is the pattern and ideal (goal) for EB team when they are making stats in EDU

As I am aware there are at first some basic constructions that are tweaked ''along the way'' - and then there are some serious tests or comparations based on another basic constructions.. ..

Sometime it seems to me that some units are stronger and/or weaker in EDU (and they are tweaked along the way) because AI Campaign expansion should be considered ..sorry but I got that impression ..

So what is really the pattern? How does this work in EB? Is it by saying:''OK, Nomad cavalry was the best so they have 10% stronger cavalry units unlike the others'' ...

No. Stats are made by following a system. However the system is always subject to change, if we see that it gives unrealistic results in battle. What we sometimes do is, adjust the money helping scripts to get factions to function better.

Sounds like this thread is no longer going down the path it was headed before I hijacked it. It actually looks very productive now and I don’t want to get in the way.

So if you don’t mind, I’ll move my part of the Kelt and Swabian discussion to another threat, for reference.

However, I have a question as well.
Is it possible to introduce a much greater chance that individual Swabian provenances may revolt without the presence of a very strong FL overall and local FMs?

Thanks in advance.

i'm not sure how well we can do that, but i'd like to see something like that put into place.
