    Icon8 Romans need to fight like Romans in Rome 2, it was never accurate

    The Roman Legion fought as a unit in formation, their sword was a stabbing sword, I never saw the stabbing motion in Rome Total War or any Mods. They would only not fight in that stabbing motion if their formation was broken and a lot of their men were dying.

    There are actually lots of mods that add a stabbing animation for RTW. And as far as I can see, Roman soldiers will keep formation in battle in Rome 2.

    Love it.

This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

    Yeah thats what I thought when I read this thread in the Thema Devia. Balls of steel.

    I've seen the Romans stab with their gladii a lot in vanilla RTW. They slash with it too, but they stab and jab still.

    Since this isn't leading anywhere and the OP also clearly doesn't contribute any part to bring it on-topic or to normal discussion I will close this.
