RTW Darthmod critical hit ability

[Samss]

Hi all,

Recently downloaded RTW Darthmod, and having a very nice experience so far.
I am trying to make one change to balance Roman infantry units: remove their 'critical hit ability'.
I don't like seeing my Hastati destroy Hoplites in a frontal attack :(
(after having buffed Hoplite att/def and lowering Hastati att/def)

However, while I know most files, I don't know how to do this.
I've already removed the ( area, ap, bp ) attributes of their melee weapons.
Anyone able to help out here?

Any other suggestions from Darthmod players for balancing a Roman campaign are welcome :)

With kind regards

Hi Samss, welcome to TWC! I'll move this thread to the Workshop where an expert will hopefully be able to help you shortly.

You can increase the hoplites shield value (their frontal armor will be much greater, while back/side is not affected) and their defensive skill/attack.


Don't forget as well that your hoplites are suffering from -4 attack or something along those lines whenever they're fighting against swords. In RTW swords are basically the rock to spears scissors.

Spears do however have an advantage vs cavalry. I can't recall all the specifics but you have to account. I suggest taking a look at Aradans EDU guide
