Wedge Triarii

[Shadow_LT]

What's the difference between regular Triarii and these guys ?

[Athenogoras]

These are stats of the normal and wedge triarii. See the highlighted red for the important stuff. Wedgetriarii has higher mass(1.56) meaning they will puch into the enemy formation, they also have the spear attribute which gives the unit even better pushing abilities. They also have better defense and higher morale. It is best used against phalanx to try to break their formation. I am not sure it works though

Send in an unit of Hastati with Wedge Triarii from the front and you'll be surprised They're quite good at breaking up the phalanx formation.

That was my thought also. First pilashower from rorarii and hastati, then wedgies(haha) frontal and then hastati charging after. They were however no match for the pezos.

BTW Cant you make new animation for wedge triarii. They storm the phalanx and start doing wedgies to the poor macedonians.

I guess they need an upgrade in stats, then.

Thanks for clearing things up
