Javelin foot skirmishers

[Aper]

As a carthaginian, I loved the lybian foot skirmishers, they can do anything. For their price, they are OP.

I love them too, but there are better ones in the similar price range. Eb2 is full of capable skirmisher units

I just want to throw in my 2 cents here and say that javelin foot skirmishers universally have the best possible score when it comes to my stat of choice for skirmishers - cost.

Other people in this thread have elaborated on the many uses of lighter, non-line infantry. Javelin skirmishers do all that and they do it for pennies. They always have a place in my armies - mostly I use them for screening and flanking purposes and they really cut down on the attrition my heavy infantry and medium/heavy cavalry suffer.

This is what took a while to hit me, and it’s so true!
