The EB Team has been discussing the Casse General, and it looks like we've identified three major problems with their statistics. Taken together, these result in a unit that is one of the most fragile and useless in all of EB. We may post the full set of findings later, but to sum up:
1) Absence of secondary armor is probably the leading cause of chariot fragility.
2) Amount of javelin ammo seems needlessly low.
3) Secondary weapon was statted as a sword, yet the evidence suggests that only the chariot itself can *be* the weapon.
Accordingly, we would like for any Casse Players out there to replace the existing Casse General EDU entry with this one (for now we'll ignore the recruitable chariot, since the goal here is to test out the new stats and get your feedback):
To make the switch, find \EB\Data\export_descr_unit.txt and do a search for ";18". That will take you to the existing chariot entry. Simply replace it with the text posted above. This alteration is save game compatible!!
