Beasts of War - War Dogs

Gameplay tips for using wardogs
• Perfect against light units such as light calvary and missle units
• Wait until most hostile units are engaged before releasing
• Don't them use against heavy melee
• Try to use them on the flanks of your enemy
• Use them to break routing units

Special Notes
Save game compatible.
German support planned, once I figure out how.

Doesn't seem to work with suebi

I'm playing as Suebi and I can't figure out how to get the dogs. I've made all the military buildings and I tried maxing a Slave building. What am I missing?

To be historically correct, you got to look at the history of the roman invasion of what is now england.
Julius Ceasar created the old english mastiff as an animal so strong it could kill wolves, that threatened the camps at night when mist and cloud made visibility nil.
Credited as the first domestic breed and the genetic ancestor of all big dog breeds.
All dogs are basically an offshoot of the pedigree of the mastiff.
The italian mastiff, the neapolitan.
the french mastiff, the dogue de bordeaux
the spanish mastiff, the pyranean mountain dog

I do not remember the name of the Roman who made the comment but he said that the Celtic dog ( now known as the Irish Wolfhound ) was basically the toughest dog in the Roman arena.

If you are interested in the topic, here is one of the sources I used. :)
link [books.google.com] It claims Roman war dogs were equipped with chainmail, and blankets with pots of greek fire.

As far as implementing either of these, that would fall outside the range of my capability.
