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.

I'm not sure but i believe that Roman dogs wore leather with armored plates.

I am considering all factions where appropriate, I would love to add dogs to every faction.

Even though it is probably safe to assume that most regions of the world during the time of antiquity had some form of war dog, I am trying to limit myself to only implementing dogs based on historic sources I can find online. :)

If I can find a source that talks about Thracians using war dogs I would be more than happy to add them to this mod!

if you could please add war dogs to the odrysian kingdom faction, it would be fantastic and make odrysian kingdom campaign more fun

Most wardogs in Rome2 look alike.The wardogs actually looked a lot different. There are modern dog breeds that resemble the dogs of ancient armies.If a skilled modder were to get ahold of a dogbreed book,woul;d it be possible to make the breeds similar to the breeds in the book.Here are a few examples, 1 Rome= Cane Corso , 2 Iceni= Irish Wolfhound and English Mastiff, 3 Suebi = Rottweiler and German Shepard , 4 Greeks= Mollosian dog and Greek Shepard dog, 5 Parthians=Anatolian Shepard dogs, 6 Nomadic Tribes= East Asian shepard dog,7 Mongols= Tibetan mastiff dog, 8 Gauls= Belgian shepard dogs, 9 Danes,Scandanavians and northern Germans = Broholmer ( ancestor of Great Dane ,looks like a stocky Great Dane with shorter legs ) Those were some examples.

@ "Can you add iceni?"
Iceni already has dogs which are a part of the official Beast of War DLC pack. :)

@"can you add dogs for other successor kingdom , such as seleucid egypt baktria ?"
Egypt is already included. :) Yes I probably will add war dogs for seleucid and baktria after I do a little more research online.

@"Thank you for this great mod! ;D"
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)

Wolf-like hounds sound interesting, but doing something of this nature would require 3D modeling and animating, both of which I haven't the talent for, sorry. :)

Can u make other animals like lions for the african tribes and wolfs for the barabarians? It will be fantastic
