Screeching Women: German screeching women think nothing of participating in a battle, wailing encouragement to their own men as they fight, and screaming defiance at the enemy to unnerve them.Ĭhosen Axemen: Double-handed axes are intimidating weapons, especially in the hands of chosen axemen. Night Raiders: Night raiders are lightly armed shock troops whose appearance alone is fearful! They are the only barbarian troops that can form a phalanx. Spear Warbands: The men of a spear warband are effective against cavalry and most infantry, but lack the discipline of more "civilized" troops. The German roster is geared towards using fear and brute strength to break the enemy before they can do much damage, and if this fails they take lots of casualties. The Germans also have a number of frightening units, such as Screeching Women, Night Raiders, and Berserkers. The two most aggressive infantry units in the game are Berserkers and Chosen Axemen both are exclusive to the Germans. German infantry do not wear any armour, which is unfortunate. All of the other German infantry is very aggressive, with a high attack stat and high morale but always a rather poor defense. They even have good morale, and are the anvil of your whole roster. Their first infantry, Spear Warband, form a Hoplite like Phalanx and is the best tier 1 infantry in the whole game they also have 240 men.

Their infantry is unlike any other factions. Their archers are pretty good, decent at firing, long range and can fight in a melee in a pinch. They have excellent cavalry, the best of any barbarian faction except (arguably) Scythia which has horse archers. The Germans have a unique roster that is very aggressive and is good particularly in the early game.
