    Re: Ridiculous AI recruting.

    On normal, I believe, AI factions get +1 recruitment slot per province. They also get a slight tech research boost so they may well have researched the tech that gives bonus recruitment slots.

    Re: Pikes useless

    Pikes were arguably OP at one point, but the nerf-bat was taken to them rather over-zealously.

    Even the best soldiers in the world are not supermen, and the Gallic army you describe was made up of well-equipped professionals. That said, comparing stats of Celtic sword units to Roman sword...

    Re: Seeing double recruitable units

    I think it's this: A lot of AOR units share the same UI card and name as some factions' core units, but have worse stats.
  5. Re: [SUBMOD] Carthaginian recruitment fix for 0.85d.

    I'm glad it's appreciated. My hope is that it makes Carthage's navy more interesting to play and more challenging to play against.
  6. Re: [SUBMOD] Animations for the axemen and clubmen of DeI.

    Yes. I'll need some time to update for the new units since I'll want to carefully pick through all the new units' variantmeshes to make sure I get them all.

  11. Re: Rome II Total Realism - Beta Feedback and Suggestions

    So I fired up Carthage campaign. I noticed that you've replaced 'client states' with satrapies (renamed to 'client kingdoms), at least for Carthage. But it still starts with Libya and Nova Carthago...

    The elite unit recruitment exploit only seems to work for certain factions. Though I never actually use it, so I may be wrong.

    It wasn't a DeI thing. It was a 'wip' mod that is now apparently abandoned.

  17. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    I think it could be made to work pretty well, but it would require a different, more abstract approach to weapon mechanics. Still, multiple melee weapon values per unit would be better...
  18. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    Marian legionaries may have been 'only' soldiers, but the average hoplite (or phalangite) was not even that. It's all well-and-good to de-mystify, de-fanboy the Romans. They certainly deserve as...
  19. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    The R2TW engine only supports one melee weapon type per unit. It's incredibly simple to give a spear or pike unit 'backup' swords visually, but representing this in the unit's stat values would...
  20. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    I think the main explanation for this is that initiative 3 units have 0 deadliness. Which means many of their hits deal no damage at all. Whereas initiative 2, deadliness 1 units are dealing at least...

  24. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    Sources that speak of Roman battles against sarissa phalangites do in fact show that Roman infantrymen couldn't beat them in formation head on.

    Re: Disparity in units

    Looks like you fixed everything. This should certainly help stall the onslaught of "omg what is wrong with this mod's unit stats" threads.
  26. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    Now, this is just plain false.



    Of course not. Nobody was. A man is, ultimately, just a man. But - almost all of Rome's enemies' armies were composed of hoplites or their almost exact...
  27. Re: Are OP spearmen getting fixed soon? this is completely retarded.

    I don't know of any sources that say Romans had any particular trouble with spear-and-shield men at all, even head on (except when their quality was very high, but that's another issue).

    Re: On Unit "Heaviness"

    I haven't tested this, but from what I've heard, bonus hp to units acts kind of like a buffer that soaks up damage before any entities in the unit start taking any damage as 'individuals'. This may...
  31. Re: Bracing bonus for phalanxes and other formations - questions

    My guess would be that phalanx-mode bracing was part of what was making hoplites/phalangites almost immune to rear charges by cavalry, so they took it out. They don't need it from the front, anyway.
