I like how this faction-by-faction reveal of Total War: Rome 2 gets a little more barbaric each time. We've seen plush feathered headdresses devolve into ankle-tattoos-on-shields and now? People are totally wearing dogs on their heads. Say hello to the Suebi, a tribe so barbaric that they seem a-okay with sauntering into battle shirtless.
The Suebi have been revealed on the Total War wiki, which describes them thusly:
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.These guys sound like the most entertaining faction we'll get to play with yet. They might be kind of, well, shirtless, but the light armor won't matter much since one of their primary tactics will likely be ambushing hapless enemies with a rain of spears. Seems like bloody good fun. As with previous faction reveals, check the Suebi's screenshot for an impressive, highly detailed display of facial (and canine) hair.
