- Welcome back to another Total War series! As I have more time at the moment I thought it was a good chance to start a new campaign, this time as the Suebi.
We have one objective. Destroy Rome.
Side note - my laptop crashed after ending the first turn and I didnt have a save file so I had to restart the campaign and remake the moves I had done in turn one. This is why the armies/agent might be in slightly different positions after the endturn.

Dude that intro...It was...awesome ! Never have been this hyped in a long time. Definitely going to finish this campaign. Will leave a like on each episode ! :-)
Seems like ever since this campaign was recorded they made the suebi start harder for some reason. They gave the boii 2 starting armies instead of one, meaning they start recruiting from turn 1, and the cherusci declare on you by turn 3 at the latest every single time, even if you've just sat in your capital recruiting. I know because I've played the suebi start multiple times trying to figure out what the best strategy is. So that's 3 armies to deal with immediately, when all you have are trash tier levy, low tier skirmishers and probably the worst general unit in the game. So far, seems like you get the best results by transferring all your spear levy to the second army, get a full stack of club levy and spear brothers on your main army, put both armies in raiding stance right by your border between you and the boii and wait for one of their armies to come attack you. That way you kill the boii economy, give them a bunch of problems with public order, leave them no choice but to attack you one on one since the AI is too stupid to reinforce its armies unless it's by accident, and if the cherusci try to attack your capital you're still close enough to get them. This start still sucks ass though, having to fight oathsworn with trash levy is ridiculous.
Damn thats crazy. Guess I got lucky trying this campaign when I did lol
I’ve found 2 good strategies in the beginning for the “updated” version. First strategy: make sure you can reach Casurgis on turn 1 with King. Hire 2 mercenary longbows at capitol (spear brother optionally) then a mercenary Celtic warrior in Hycernia. Fast march the Raging Boars army to merge with your king. Then you can replace Karl with a sword master like Baldovin and the king as well for another sword master. The Boii armies are divided when you assault. Deploy on the opposite side near the water, and where Baldovin will be. Attack the army outside the gates. Use youths on Oathsworn. Save longbows for the walls. Deploy them across the water in the corner away from the gatehouse towers near the buildings. Put them in guard mode to avoid being in range of their towers and javelins. Assault the walls away from that gatehouse back there.
Second strategy: enter campaign then quit until you can achieve a peace treaty on turn 1 for 2000. I think 4000 is guaranteed but you need that 2000 gold if you’re looking to take on the Cherusci and others. Use your spy to starve them. Also when in doubt try and just spam club levy to save on upkeep and shoot for 6 cunning (while not general) to embezzle for money. I hope that helps.
Lol, the sample at the beginning was sampled from the movie zulu for gladiator, and no one noticed that "germanic hordes" were all shouting in an African dialect 😂 😂 😂
Oh is that true? Never knew lol. Worked well regardless I guess
@@manix429 it's an amazing scene none the less, but knowing it... I can't not notice it ahaha
I’d love you to try a Galatia campaign, I really struggle and would love to see another view on it
Galatia could be a lot of fun, I like playing as the barbarian factions. Did think about trying Carthage again too, they were always the faction I struggled the most playing as
Fantastyczny materiał.
Love this game)
Recently tried a Suebi campaign and quickly lost, got smashed by Cherusci.
Just got done with an economic Suebi win. Do not recommend. Time to get comfy watching some Suebi proper.
Impressive to get an economic win with the Suebi, must have been a rough ride lol
@@manix429 i waited for sparta to conquer the east then i liberated all the states they conquered except the ones that had resources for an economic win then i had to go and restructure all my provinces for a commerce build. Took about 350 turns when it was all said and done.
@@GatorWrastler88 damn, that’s a mega campaign. Fair play for finishing it though
Nice
first playthrough i just marched right on the boii after a little recruiting, climbed the walls, took out everyone expertly only for the generals squad to wipe out 3 german youth squads and 4 spearmen. no idea wtf happened but thats the story
Spear levy are complete trash and german youth aren't much better while oathsworn are one of the best infantry units in the game and they get extra morale for being a general unit. That's what happened. This start is shit, hilarious that the game considers it normal difficulty. I mean, compare them to the lusitani, which are another barbarian faction whom the game says have a hard start. They get lusitani nobles for general units, which are comparable to oathsworn, iberian swordsmen, which are better in every single way than club levy while also being cheaper to recruit and upkeep, veteran iberian swordsmen, which are better than bloodsworn and round shields by a mile, and iberian slingers, which slingers are in general better than javelins, all from turn 1. And they have to fight the exact same type of enemy as the suebi, the celts, without also having to worry about getting bushwhacked by another tribe. How are they marked as harder than the suebi?
well that one came about 200h of gameplay and many fuckups too late but i apprechiate it :D @@joaogomes9405
I never understood why they made everyone barefoot & didn’t add more bearded long haired Germanic tribesmen
There are mods for that though.
Are you using any mods?
I think just one that decreases the chances of a civil war, as I'm not a fan of that mechanic.
