Suebi can always be wiped off later. If you can get trade agreements with the African nations, you're pretty much safe. If not, send the Legions from Africa and Spain to neutralize them and never worry about that front again.

The soundtrack of microing your garrison unit Scout Equites.

Playing as the western Roman Empire on hard difficulty was and still is an experience and I did something very wild. I abandoned almost every single settlement except for the ones in Italia and some bordering ones to the north of it and I just stayed with those developing them and defending them and I gotta say it’s been going great and fighting the barbarian hordes on hard difficulty gives an almost apocalyptic feeling which just makes every victory that much sweeter. Truly incredible and really makes me feel like a defender of the Roman people against the numerous barbarian hordes trying to watch Rome burn.

the irony of this period is; the roman legions were almost entirely manned by Germanic peoples. Romans, once the only peoples allowed to serve in the legions, had grown soft and decadent. There , of course Dacians and Illyrians too who do the fighting duties, but, especially in the west, it was mainly Germanic peoples.

Only the Western Roman Empire really, they were under much more pressure from germanic tribes, too many incompetent leaders, as you said overreliance on Barbarian Mercenaries, less Urbanization compared to the Eastern half of the Empire and also less trade income as a consequence. The Exception was probably Italy which was still pretty rich. Also in the past there were apparently many mines in the West during the time of Augustus and the first two centuries afterwards, but they started drying up further reducing wealth and ability to fund armies.

And also the east was under a fair amount of pressure from the goths and migratory Turkic tribes, forcinng various reforms and culminating eventually to being overrun by them later on. But yeh, guess they were more urbanised they did alot of massive city's at that time, like Alexandria and Antioch and of course Constantinople, that dwarfed many of the city's in the West like Paris and Rome. Also the byzantines lands stretched into the east, and were menaced by Arabs, and persions and berbers in the south.

When that reaches 35%, one gets the option to change their state religion. Regional boosts like those in Italia and Magna Graecia and 'local traditions' definitely help.
