ArmouredHoplites > Royal Guards?

**PurPul** · July 08, 2009, 08:11 PM

I asked this in the general discussion, but I don't feel as if it was answered.

The greek factions get to train Admega Hyptastopoon(can't spell it) And they are classified as Special Elite. But, their stats are quite lower then generic Armoured Hoplites. Can someone tell me why? I love this mod but the Royal guards are useless if the generic units are better.

Good question. I don't think anyone's got an answer to this one as the guy who did the stats had some strange ideas, or else it was an oversight.

A...A BUG?! in Roma Surretum?!

I forsee the Apocolypse.

yes, there's lots of them.
you've got to remember that this mod was pushed out two years ago. The intention then was to develop the existing mod further and refine it, but it gradually became a total rewrite during the process of which no changes have been made to the original

Thus, the long development time for RS2, which is indeed necessary!

Yeah well its more like first it was a rewrite of RS1. Then it became rewrite of Rome:Total War. And now its becoming a rewrite of the whole Total War series. Really, if CA would have put less than a tenth of the work the RS team put into their mod, into their games, they would actually have something to be proud of.

This is something that I noticed some time ago. It's not so hard to boost the stats of the Agema unit in the EDU file.

That's maybe one of the very very few bugs/glitches in RS 1.5!

Edit: I'm so ignorant! Regarding the EDU, could someone point out which unit actually is the Royal Guard? I think most units still have their vanilla names in the file.. Thanks in advance

Some time ago I tried to change those files too(cant remember them though), but somehow the changes where not implemented in the game after changing them?

@Thorn777: I'm pretty sure they have to work ingame... Maybe a new campaign is required? I haven't tried messing around with unit stats because of the delicate and very well calculated unit balance in RS.

I'll try editing something and check the results in RS.

@Octavius-Augustus

That might be it, yes. I didn't want to start a new GCS campaign, cuz I only found out about the weird stats very late in game.

btw.Use the search option in this forum(like Agema hoplites stats or so). There is a thread with the exact file description around.
