    Default Quick Questions

    Hey everyone,

    I just started playing this mod, and I'm really enjoying it. Took some getting used to without all the unit banners but I'm starting to warm up to it.

    However, i do have a few quick questions,

    1) How do i turn autosave back on? (Found out how)

    2) How do I add new music? I've spent quite a long time reading the FAQ page on how to put new music in but I don't really understand it. (Found out how)

    3) Spearmen in the game seem to have an amazing ability to push other units aside. They just seem to explode outwards and push everyone back, even heavier, stronger units.

    4) Why do pricipes have the same armour as hastati of 4? Considering they are wearing a suit of chainmail vs some tiny bronze plate over your chest, I'd imagine it would be a tad higher.

    K, done

    all in all, good mod though. really enjoying it

    3.) Any unit not in guardformation will try to push the enemy unit. Hoplites and many spearunits are effective "pushers" since they try to stay in a rather tight formation. Try and engage an enemy unit with one of your units in guardmode, then disable guardmode and see what happens!

    4.) Don't really understand the question... Principes are supposed to be better armed than Hastatis, which they are in this mod.

    3) most units in non-guard formation have a reasonable push, but spearmen seem to have an unrealistically powerful push. THey just break apart any formation and the men fighting each other are simply jostling about somewhat stupidly. I've even seen men fly into the air because of the extent of the pushing and the subsequent compression of men.

    4)pricipes have higher defense than hastati only because of higher defense skill. If you check both units, their armour levels of 4 are the same.

    Armour stats are for game balanceing only, not realism. Check out the armour of chosen archers, its about 12. There suppossed to make the battles better balanced. I not saying i agree, but thats the way SPQR was made, the mod is based on massive battles that take ages, to give you time to use manovers and tactics to win.

    if your playing as rome (which this mod is based around) then the spearmen are triarii, these are some of romes best units, and are therefore well trained and capable of taking on larger units and hold there ground agaist them

    Be careful with turning on the autosave as it will bug your game.

    It will make your game go CTD on your ass. So to prevent these CTD's from happening lt turned of autosave.

    I believe it is possible, search this forum some one made a thread on this, he explained how he did it.
