Head Hurlers

[Dynamo11]

I'd love if these returned, always one of my favourite units in the original game.
Units I don't wanna see are those flaming pigs, I mean just what on Earth.

Where do they get the heads?

[Tritus]

l believe flaming pig head catapults would make a great addition to the game.

Yeah they're considering dino tw, just won't be happening this time around.

I was suggesting they use those dinosaur units for the barbarian factions. Seeing they're just primitive cavemen and all, it is very fitting.

[Armatus]

I think head hurlers would be good in prehistoric tw though.

I just couldn't resist

I just think that head hurlers aren't very realistic............

They weren't just I loved the silliness of them (and they were actually quite OP)

[Sir Bum]

We need flaming head chariot ballistae. (sic)

Flaming pigs is more historically correct than head hurlers.

[Armatus]

How do you train head hurlers? It should require you to sacrifice some of your population to get the heads first.

[Dynamo11]

Who's to say they weren't enemy heads? Celts don't take many prisoners I imagine

[HappyGoodVibes]

These units deserve to be in the Fantasy Total War if they ever make it. Rome II? I don't think so. The community has moved on and most people want historical "authenticity" as that one CA guy likes to put it.

There were enough historical crazy things that if CA does their research, I am sure the game will be full of surprising little details and units. I still wish they would go 100% full on gore and naked warrior mode, and put in some of the really surprising things that were around back then, but I know they wont. Here is for heads hanging from banners and battle standards, since I think those are in Roma Surrectum 2, which makes me want to say they are accurate.

They're as realistic as Yubtseb's.

Most of the units in old vanilla rtw had a realistic background , they where used at least once on field or attested the behaviour , Ca probably picked after some experts sugestions some small cool factor units to add spice to the game , regardless of their real continuative utilization on field .

There may have been head hurling, but as full fledged recruitable unit ready to hurl several heads on the fly probably not.

This would be more or less something gained through fighting experience, such as a chevron, but in this special case the unit gains heads.

Instead of a unit devoted to hurling heads, hurling heads should be a unit ability used to demoralize the enemy. Similar to whistling arrows in Shogun 2.
