    Default Few questions about RS 2...

    1) What is battle morale like?
    2) How do units stand up in battle?

    1/2combined) Will battles go by a long fight where units stay locked until something is done to break it, or is it going to be a killfest like in RS 1.6?

    3) What sort of damage do the different ranged weapons do?
    4) What are the move speeds for units? Do skirmishers still get outran by heavily armored men? Do men walk too fast to allow an approach to be thought about for a time?
    5) What sort of range do campaign units have per turn?
    6) How are the pikemen?

    thanks

    1) Generally pretty high
    2) Battles are pretty long on the whole like in SPQR
    3) Much less than in RS1.6
    4) Movement speeds are on the whole related to armour / heaviness of units with barbarian units generally one point faster than civilised....unit fatigue is dependent on a number of things, including culture (African / eastern units get less heat fatigue) and amount of armour
    5) Quite a lot - like RS1.6
    6) Pikes are now working well.

    So is a phalanx harder to get through in a frontal assault now? I mean before it seemed like infantry just walked through em sometimes in RS 1.6 :/

    Yes. Chernish did some work with stats and unit mass and came up with a pretty good formula in regards to phalanx vs everything-else balance.
