Re: u know what would be cool?

Re: u know what would be cool?
Are you trying to say that those units will be immune to archer fire ?
If so I guess that idea comes from the movie "Troy" , Myrmidons (Hoplite type Warriors) forms a turtle like formation in there to march through a rain of arrows. Just like Tustedo formation in RTW.
Legend says Achilles was commanding a Myrmidon army.
But actually Myrmidons are not an unit type but the name of an ancient Greek nation, which supposed to live when Troy was around, and that's before RTW takes place. So that would be weird .. Don't you think ?

Moved to mod ideas and proposals.
If they became visible upon melee contact; and if they were a small unit (like mercenaries); and if the cost was 1800 denarii and the upkeep was 900 denarii per unit; I think I could go for it.

There are Myrmidons in Bare Bones Wars 8.1, for Greek Cities and macedon. I think they are mercs as well. 0 turn recruitment too.

Then their name should be changed to 300 spartans, cause they only died by archer fire. Meh.
I can't see where's the fun if there's no balance in the game. It would be fun at first but I don't think that feeling would last long.
Imo.

This is a ****ing stupid idea. No offense. It's just not fun to play with uber units; that's why I always hated vanilla Romans.

HEY! Sometimes it's funny to change slinger rocks into catapult stones, or javelinmen into balista bolt thrower...
though, uber units in a realistic game setting suck alot.
