Eagle Inspires for the Sacred Band

**Monthy** · April 13, 2008, 05:31 AM

Hi all,

is there a posibility to give "eagle inspires" to the one Greek unit? At first I was thinking of Spartans but they already are very good unit (ubersoldier with 2 hit points). Now I think it is better to give this parameter to the Sacred Band which could be produce in every city with 5 lvl. barrack. In history that type of unit have always inspired troops if appeard near them during battle.
I always use Sacred Band in crucial moment of the battle, turning the balance of the victory to my side.

Only Romans has the eagles that were of TRULY SIGNIFICANT importance to them.

Its kind of historically incorrect to give it to anyone else, besides the sacred band is already a fairly uber unit.

That's not what he meant, Itachi, he meant using the Eagle attribute to LET the unit inspire other nearby units. He doesn't mean that they're using the Eagle to inspire, but that their presence inspire them only using the eagle attribute mechanically to create that effect.

Mothy if you want that, you should download the latest version of XGM command(if you have XGM patched to the latest patch)

Clicky

Yep, just download the latest Command, it gives every faction at least one unit that has the 'eagle effect', including Sacred Band for Carthage.

Sacred band in every city with a 5 level barrack?

For some reason, the only place that I have Sacred Band is in Corinth.

It seems that I have about half a dozen cities with Urban Barracks.

I'll look again. Thanks.

What version do you have? The newer versions have Sacred Band in every city, older ones don't.

**Celt Centurion** · April 28, 2008, 10:19 PM

It seems that it was the most recent version about a year or so ago.

Over the past few days, I've built an Urban Barracks everywhere I could and the only place that I can train or retrain a Sacred Band is still Corinth.

Perhaps I need to reload a newer version.

One kicker, a few nights ago, several of my cities revolted at once. To make it worse, a few generals out in the field with full stacks changed sides as well.

I could not bribe any of them with diplomats. I have thus far only been able to assassinate one.

I have faced many of them in battle, some of them several times. Unfortunately, most of them don't die in the battle. They run away instead

The few which I have managed to kill have left armies under command of a captain whom I've been able to bribe back. Unfortunately, there isn't much left of the armies after I've defeated them in battle. I have been good enough however, to not slaughter them all and have let as many as I could get away. The bad part is that by the time that they do break and run, they are about 95% casualties such as the Sacred Band.
