Romani ( SO GOOD WE CHOSE IT TWICE )

Romani (ROMAN EMPIRE HOOO)

[Cheddarius]

Woo Romani

[psyn]

Horse archers are fun but with the AI its a bit of an exploit to use them, so if you do end up playing as them, house rule yourself to not fill your armies entirely of horse archers. (Your future Greek slaves need battle too!) 

Not to mention fighting a horse archer battle is a horrible micromanagement fest.

Indeed, and not only against the AI: Cantabrian Circle is horribly OP (except against slingers). RTW MP rules limited to no more than 2 HA units for a reason.

[Archangel]

Sweboz!

[Spartan 117]

C'mon Romani! Sweboz only have, like, one cool unit!

[Rilder]

C'mon Romani! Sweboz only have, like, one cool unit!

One cool unit? Almost every other Germanic tribe you bring into the fold has a unique unit, if i remember right.

[Spartan 117]

Unique, but not cool.

Romans all the way! We gots Triarii and Companions.

[Heron TSG]

Go Sweboz! Overrun the legions!

[Tarran]

Oh god, this is not going anywhere.

Romani Will destroy the Germans!

[Cheddarius]

Rilder, what are the Romani unique units? What pros and cons do the Romani have over the Sweboz? And vice versa?
Same to you, Spartan.

[Rilder]

Romani are pretty kick ass and have like FOUR reforms, so you don't get stuck with the same units all game, their infantry is more mobile then other factions phalanxes.

I find playing the Romani to be stressful though because I always limit myself extremely (Like half stack = 1 legion and except for the consular army I don't use full stacks for anything.

I also limit my units to like 1-hastati, 1 principes, 1 Triarii and so on for each legion (Can't remember exact unit numbers for legions)

Sweboz have alot of rebels to fight so you don't get annoyed by dealing with full fledged factions for awhile which is nice. They also have a reform.

[Tarran]

Woah-ho. Four reforms? Kickass. High tech units FTW!

And the large variety of siege units should make it even more interesting.

[Cheddarius]

Do the Sweboz and Romani have other important differences?

[Rilder]

Do the Sweboz and Romani have other important differences?

One is organized heavy infantry and the other is masses of troops?

Also there is some sweboz units that literally go naked (As in the models include penises)

[Pathos]

Europa Barbarorum doesn't sem to be working, we might have to move onto normal R:TW with the closest faction to whichever one wins.

Speaking of which, we're still on a bloody tie?!

[Lordinquisitor]

Hey, hey, no, no, no. We will make europa barbarorum work. We will.

You can`t play original rome!
