Few Beefs

I love the Mod, great campaign map, and 30 legions is amazing, i love the factions(syracuse,Pergammon) but the thing that annoys me to hell and back is the fact that your troops die like flies, ex, 1 unit of macedonian heavy cav, 55+ def i think, vs raw recruited peltast, after 1 volley it goes from 120 units to 60 and after all ammo is wasted they rout with 6 units remaining!!!! Macedonian Heavy cavalry(one of the best cavs in the game) routedd by peasents with sticks. or even peltasts vs Legionarres!!!! extremmly heavy armored chainmail or segmenta plus helmet plus shield , 1 volley kills 40+ disciplined and trained legionaress,even testudo bleeds like hell, now i know u can recruit millions upon millions of more troops, but the battles are extremlly dull when you lose half your army on skirmishers.

Welcome to the forums.

I'd just like to say if you threw a 240 or so javelins at a group of about 120 horses, its not surprising that half would die. Horses are unarmoured and big targets and one javelin can easily bring a horse down. Against heavy infantry though, i think they're fine. Not too much damage from the front but if you hit them in the rear then it just has to peirce a bit of metal to kill the solder which reasonable considering javelins are very effective against armour.

But certainly not ideal and not intended to be repeated for RS2

I think you used a bad example with the horsemen, but I agree with other troops. Missiles in game are known to be overpowered.

I personally would love to see the effect of missiles deduced by around 40%

And of course I would love to see the testudo formation work correctly. The Late republican design of Scutum was very tough, I even saw some guys struggle to get a 45 bullet through a Legionary scuta on TV the other month

I mean, a volley of 230 arrows onto a group of 200 Axillia in Tetudo killing about 30 men is fair enough, but killing 20 out of 200 imperial legionaries doesn't seem right to me.
