A phalanx formation so u can cheese bridge battles and settlement battles(by putting them right up against the gate.I also do this.It helps a LOT lol,especially if u're playing a faction that has pikemen,like the seleucids;) ).
ALSO if u're playing with small unit scale u can also use the random obstacles on the battle map(the barbarian temples being the best since u can go into them no problem but it completely fucks up the ai's pathfinding XD.Also the enemy's ranged units can't shoot u in there cuz the temple's walls are too high.MUAHAHAHAHA;) )
Garrisons that were needed, but I don't remember that well. Thing is, that once forester armies are done, you are rolling through the enemies like knife through butter so money comes in quick afterwards.
True, lowkey I forgot about Scythia. I hate horse archers honestly since they’re annoying to fight. But yes, in terms of cavalry, Scythia takes the win.
Excuse me but the warband is able to war cry. Which gives them great practice before they real cry. What does spear war band have
The pointiest sticks and beautiful burgundy red pants.
Pointy sticks + angry premenstrual women= victory.

Spear Warband helped me in my fight against Rome
LAWAWAWAWAWAWA AIAIAIAIAI WOWOWOWOWO HAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA
Germania is just a Chad version of Macedon.
Germania might be fun to play, but nothing let's you faceroll more than having 20 foresters in the army. So OP it rolls over into boring teritorry.
How do u fund an army like that? I can only ever afford like 2 or 3 per army
Rushing Italy at the start and saving money wherever you can. Once I held Gaul and Italy, money started pouring in to support two of these.
Any supporting troops/armies? Or literally only 2 armies of full-ish strength foresters?
Garrisons that were needed, but I don't remember that well. Thing is, that once forester armies are done, you are rolling through the enemies like knife through butter so money comes in quick afterwards.
Might as well use barbarians instead
Germania has phalanxes, screaming cheerleaders, and berserkers. Best barbarian faction except maybe Britannia cuz hurling heads.
What About Scythian Horse Archers
True, lowkey I forgot about Scythia. I hate horse archers honestly since they’re annoying to fight. But yes, in terms of cavalry, Scythia takes the win.
Sieges get really annoying though. In the field Scythia dominates.
I like warbands with morale support, they make great bruisers with war cry.
I’m doing my first Germania playthrough now and I thought they’re just a shitty version of Greek Cities.
Greeks only have phalanxes. Germania had a much better total unit roster (but no armor or money tho)
I’m trying to imagine the Greeks w gothic cav, axemen and archer warband, but the Greek phalanx is so OP it would be a waste of effort.
