Must be said: Vae Victus is what the GAULIC chieftan Brennus said to the Romans whilst messing their shit up.

From wikipedia:
(in order to get their city back from the invaders) "...The Romans agreed to pay one thousand pounds weight of gold. According to Livy, during a dispute over the weights used to measure the gold (the Gauls had brought their own, heavier-than-standard) Brennus threw his sword onto the scales and uttered the famous words "Vae victis!", which translates to "Woe to the vanquished!".

...Basically the first "Deal with it" in known history.

Just reppin' my barbarian bros idols of old.

Good luck with the clan though! Yours will be a charming shield-wall. If only Warband's engine would let you do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testudo_formation

Good luck ;)
Imo on your 21/15 build, I'd take 5 shield skill instead of three. 2 if is pretty pointless and the extra 2 shield skill will improve the speed of your shield especially if you're using a board shield which is already slow.

then you would need to sacrifice either the only 2 IF you have, leaving you even more vurlnerable(allright you have a big ass shield but its still nice to take that extra hit) or you would have to sacrifice ath, which I advice against doing so ;), cause if you'd sec your wm you'd have a lack of wpf to accomodate both melee and throwing together. 3 shield board shield is actually pretty durable, i played it as 30/9 heavy hoplite(sultan erens build) and its durable and it destroys with ashwood and war spear.

I tend to agree.  I have found that when you use the lances, the sword and shield actually become more of a "secondary weapon."  And if timed correctly, the board shield isn't that slow.  I do plan to try the 5 shield tho in a STF at some point.

Welcome to our newest recruit, by the way, MrTea!

Looks like we gotten off to a pretty smooth start.  ~-~Waffle

This sounds awesome.  Really looking forward to strat battles with this theme - see red roman helmets used for once.  Kind of sad that the only bows that match this theme are the bottom 2 bows as they had weak archery, though you could argue their eastern mercenaries near the end of the western roman empire had nomad/horn bows.  Lots of stones could act as the slingers.  Plenty of javelins/throwing spears and some of the really short stabbing 1-handers with heavy board shields.  Just make sure to recruit a lot of strength thrower/shielders and you can pummel your opponents roman style.  Good luck to you guys.

Thanks man.  The Romans did have horn bows for at least part of their era, as well as having composite bows with one limb shorter than the other (similar to the Yumi)

UPDATE

We are in the process of transferring Ismirala from the Frisians to us, and we have joined TAMDA.

I know it'll be daunting, but once you feel secure, don't be afraid to FIGHT in strat!

You don't get swag points for trading, you know! Really, I just want to see an army that uses throwing weapons heavily. There are wardarts in ismirala for throwing on a budget, too!
