The thing is that the carthaginians were extinguished by the romans. If they got the upper hand, you can't say they wouldn't have developed a more advanced army model that didn't just pull from mercenaries. If you just stick to historically accurate, how do you play as factions other than rome? Would it not make sense for them to revolutionize their armies when conquest becomes imperative?
But they didn't this is not a mod about what ifs
The more historically accurate you get, the less potential there is to feel immersed in your faction's own success and development. Rome gets a bunch of units and reforms, the other factions just get kind of sidelined.
What? thats the most nonsense i have heard"the historical it gets the less you get immersed in your factions" they wont get sidelined they have there own pool and you can get mercs everywhere
If carthage won, they would be the new rome, they would have had military reforms. Would the iceni continue to fight naked and with tiny shields to prove their skill and bravery when they are exposed to different more cowardly fighting styles around the world in their efforts to build an empire?
Again they didn't but you can with the units of that time and mercs
I just feel like you'd be making the game go stale after a while for other factions without hypothetical reforms and units.
It won't if if it would it would be also go stale with hypoyhetical units,
This MOD is about recreating the history we know not what if this would have happend what if that would have happend it didn't so you get to play with the real units that fought during that time and believe me there are enough for you to choice from.
