The heros will feature the only way they can - as generals (family members).

ok thanks - meant when do we get achilles look a like character

**Zhuge_Liang** · September 29, 2006, 05:41 PM

The basic one is already in the beta as the phthia general. The optional more accurate one is available from our website if you want to use that. If you want the movie one with no helmet then i will release this for download along with the patch - but in order for this to be included as achillies in the campaign all the phthian generals will have to look like him. There is no way around this.

Do the missle weapons have been balanced? Because i can slaughter a full unit of heavy infantry with 2 archer units without retreating...

**Spartan1015** · September 29, 2006, 05:46 PM

actually i like it like that

Its imbalanced, because archers are way cheaper than heavy infantry...

The archers can only wipe out units without shields very fast. Even heavy archers with 3 gold bars experience will only kill at most 12 men or so per volley of heavy infantry with shields (unless you shoot them in the back). Trojan, Lycian, Lydian and hittite archers will remain more powerful because they are their elite units. If you find archers difficult then close with chariots or cavalry first to bog them down in melee combat, then attack with infantry.

(btw, the balancing has been looked at. The elite units will take longer to recruit and the jav and archer classes are slightly more expensive to maintain, however their attack ability remains unchanged).
