Muire, 2HP?

**Troubleshooter** · April 27, 2008, 08:04 AM

Hey folks,

Anyone happen to know the reason why the Irish Muire unit has 2 HP but only half unit size? Is this to simulate the rarity of heavy plated units in Ireland? If so its still kinda odd that these guys are extreme elites with their 2HP.

EDIT: I personally doubled the unit size and brought them back to 1HP. Did the same with all the bodyguard units in the game.

2HP is extreme, so they counteract that with a lower unit size.. 60 men with 2HP is slaughter, thats just asking for unbalanced-ness

They had 2hp in vanilla Britannia Campaign. They were the kings right hand men or something. They are almost like the Hashshashins from the middle east except Muire aren't part of an assassin cult.

Aye, i dont like 2HP units though

so i reduced it to 1HP, and doubled unit size.

Yeah i did that too troubleshooter. I realised they got slaughtered and rout pretty quickly when overwhelmed so decided to make them with 1hp and double unit size.

Why doesnt that happen to 2 HP cav?

Because 2 HP cavalry are usually General's Bodyguard.

And no General is silly enough to have a bunch of guys guarding him who will run at the first arrow.

No, I meant that 2hp inf gets overwhelmed, while 2hp cav is overpowered.

yeah, 2hp infantry still gets its ass kicked by a heavy cavalry charge. and the Generals bodyguard is only a problem in the early years of the campaign when pikes arent that available yet.
