42 mêlée attack for Gallic chosen swordmen?

[andrewdrakelive]

On my carevalue campaign I been losing quite a few battles against the Gallic Nervii, their chosen swordmen and tribal Germanic swordmen have between 40 and 50 melee attack, is this intended? Is this true for other players?

It looks like you either use other mods, some vanilla units are still roaming around or they have all possible upgrades and exp. Anyway, without upgrades, strongest sword unit has 30 attack, but they are Fanatic unit and overal they have very low armour.

KAM 2150, I do use other mods, and I checked them last night, none of my mods change unit stats, beyond artillery and Naval units, however I use a couple of mods called "better research bonuses" and meaningful unique provinces" that may grant bonuses to units that maybe causing this. I don't think they are vanilla units because they had DEI stats. The units had three bronze chevrons (maybe gold?) and some of them silver, so it seems that the Nervii sent their best troops to recover territory and caused me heavy loses. They also been suing for peace, so it has been an interesting dynamic. I just wanted to know if maybe this was happening to other players

I went on honga: http://www.honga.net/totalwar/rome2/...&class=inf_mel

There you see that Chosen swords have 18 Melee attack and 14 melee damage. Germanic Swords have 30 melee attack and 14 melee damage.

These numbers look really low compared to 1.0 and also very unbalanced so perhpas Honga hasn't been updated yet. Anyhow are you playing on Medium battle difficulty (is changed in the game options menu, can't be set in the beginning of the campaign), playing on higer difficulty gives incredible high bonuses to the ai...

Thanks Matmannen, I think that that website may not be updated, however I checked the db tables of DEI with PFM to make sure that they were fine, and also checked other mods I use to make sure they were not "corrupted" and had some vanilla stats. I play on normal battle difficulty. and hard campaign, so I assume that the extra buff was due to experience and buffs given by other mods since they had some regions that gave them a big buff to swords due to high quality iron
