Unfortunately Joey is completely incompetent at actually playing so the game comes across as completely ass.

CA please for the love of your games & possibility of earning some income from selling Emperor Edition get Lusted or someone else who actually knows how to play Total War to do all your future gameplay streams.

I honestly kind of hate these guys. They're making it more of a comedy thing than an actual gameplay showcase and they're bad at even doing that.

Oh well.

OK so just skip to 1:20, a different guy comes in who knows how to play, quickly fixes their broken economy & plays some pretty good battles.

I am really excited and happy about this. The beta messes up the encyclopedia some and I wanted a suebi game. I'll wait for the live version. How exactly have they improved the Suebi? I noticed that blademasters now shred infantry. And they have some semi-elite skirmishers. Anything else?

The Daughters of Mars update gave the Suebi more cavalry and infantry/ranged units. Thats about as much as I know.

The first chance I get to buy the DLCs I'm missing at 66% off or higher I'm getting them all. I'm really excited that they finally did things I suggested one year ago. Like tying unit upgrades with iron for example.

Now they absolutely have to fix the stupid Spartan and Athenian roster.

Honestly I would just find unit mods for that stuff. Champloo has a fantastic unit roster mod, I would check it out.

They took the basic outline of the eastern Celtic Raiding horsemen and turned the scout riders into that. The old scout riders are now the mid tier cav unit with a new name, riders of the hunt. To fill the gap in melee infantry they now have round shield swordsmen, they come a recruitment building tier lower than Bloodsworn. And are actually better than bloodsworn (more armour, a bit more attack for the same upkeep and a little more recruitment), look for them to get nubbed eventually. Never had the chance to use horse runners yet. Spear wall same, but the stats say they're a more defense heavy version of spear brothers. Also hex bearers. These seem to be Rome 2 version of the screeching women. However they're only a garrison unit. Which is why you don't pay for them, like the spear ladies and bow ladies.

For me the only game changer additions are round shields and new scout riders. But I bought both the unit packs at once. So instead of 4 new Suebi units to deal with I got 7.
