Unique Units
Spear Warbands: The men of a spear warband are effective against cavalry and most infantry, but lack the discipline of more "civilized" troops. They are the only barbarian troops that can form a phalanx.
Night Raiders: Night raiders are lightly armed shock troops whose appearance alone is fearful!
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.
Chosen Axemen: Double-handed axes are intimidating weapons, especially in the hands of chosen axemen. These men can hack a hole in almost any enemy battle line.
Chosen Axemen are usually the backbone of german armies in multiplayer. They have an armor-piercing attack and can thus wreak havoc on legionary cohorts and even Urban cohorts, provided that the cohorts have already used up their pila.
Berserkers: Berserkers are extremely ferocious, aggressive, indomitable warriors with no thought for personal safety once the rage of battle comes upon them. Once they go berserk they are capable of beating most standard infantry units one on one, their small unit size being the only limiting factor. But you have no control over them and they are also very expensive so be careful with them.
Gothic Cavalry: Gothic cavalry are an aristocratic - if such a word can be applied to barbarians - heavy cavalry elite of the German tribes.
They are the fourth most powerful cavalry in the game, but do not have a secondary attack.
