Ambushed Tactics ?

[gord96]

Hi guys. I have been poking around the 'totalwar.com' forums and see people mentioning that the Suebi have some sort of ambush tactic that isn't available to other factions. I searched around and couldn't find anything on this. Anyone have any info on it?

Thanks for any info!!

I am shooting blind, but maybe their unit's statistic will rise a bit during ambush battle or something similar?
I know CA told the Suebi will benefit from ambush tactics but I honestly do not think it will be a feature non available to other factions, just some statistics boost maybe.

Heavily reliant on infantry and ambush tactics, raiding is their predominant form of conflict. Lightly equipped, most Suebi warriors make use of the framea, a javelin-like spear, as swords are a rarity. Often unarmoured they carried their rounded, oval or long, hexagonal shields into battle and wore little more than simple cloaks or other garments at times.

However, their fighting prowess is legendary and their warriors rightly feared. Even the stoutest centurion would tremble at the sight of a charging band of Berserkers – or feel the icy hand of fear clutching his heart when the sinister, black-painted Night Hunters spring from the forests.

Essentially the Suebi are adapted to forest warfare. Their units are mostly light however they have two shock units (Night Hunters and Berserkers) that, used in ambush, will be quite powerful. They also gain a bonus when raiding. During ambushing they more than likely gain a morale boost and perhaps a command bonus (to their commanders).[/QUOTE]

Makes sense. Thanks guys!! I must say as release approaches I am slowly thinking I am going with a barbarian faction. Suebi or Incini.
