That's actually a good one. To those you could add "I'm terribly vexed" every time one of your cities comes under siege. Or even better, someone shouts "Maximus the merciful!" every time you release prisoners. Or, whenever you target someone for assassination, Senator Falco chimes in: "He is defying you. His every victory is an act of defiance. The mob sees this, and so does the senate. Every day he lives, they grow bolder. Kill him."
How much damage would one lightning strike cause? Are we talking about population reduction on the strat map for cities or actual shots of lightning coming down from the sky on the battle map to zap and burn entire units of enemy troops?
A new unit which is armed with mutton legs and fights with them, and occasionally take a bite from them as their idle animation, with a special ability to take a dump on the battlefield to use as the ancient equivalent to sharpened stakes
Bring back the Arcani from RTW:
'nuff said!
सार्वभौम सम्राट चत्रवर्ती - भारतवर्ष
स्वर्गपुत्र पीतसम्राट - चीन
महाराजानाभ्याम महाराजा - पारसिक
Yea. Those dumb unhistorical units of RTW. Like those naked fanatics of the Gaul factions, who'd fight with their dicks out (literally if you chose that version) and still remain as invulnerable as fully clad in armor elites. Oh wait, EB1 for some reason had them too. :-D
I am making fun here, but really it's a balancing problem if we have such a short gap in defence stats between units with rags+shield and units with chainmail+shield that it's almost indiscernable when they fight one another.
In SS you'd have gaps of good 10 points between militia and elites. Militia would be crap for most combat uses but very common while elites would be truly elite, you'd have to accumulate them over a long time and their loss was most hurtful. EB2 needs that sort of rebalancing that shows unit classes more clearly.
Well the "naked fanatics" are elites...just without armor.And in Eb2 you do notice the difference they are taken out much faster by ranged weapons and have noticable less defense because they have no armour.The problem in EB1 was that they had 2 hitpoints.I am making fun here, but really it's a balancing problem if we have such a short gap in defence stats between units with rags+shield and units with chainmail+shield that it's almost indiscernable when they fight one another.

And losing elites in SS hurtful?I mean unless I played with BGR ,I could pump out elite knight stacks in late game and even early game depending on the faction.The only faction that I found had that feeling was ERE because you had one unit Scholarii and could only retrain and not train new units up to a certain date.That and the elites are only trainable in Constantinopel.

Ah yes, the hooded Roman ninja elite who practiced the code of bushido.
To be honest, those naked Celts should have some defense skill (perhaps a shield bonus if they're carrying one) but obviously no armor advantage beyond a helmet, which some of them wear. They should be used mainly for their abilities of shock attack and breaking up enemy lines, not holding a defensive line like standard heavy troops.
Nice. There should be some pop up message where you accept the handing over of a ritual offering at a built temple of an amount of cash or denarii to the gods. In the next turn, this will encourage Zeus/Jupiter or Poseidon/Neptune to trash enemy settlements and damage buildings that they have to then repair. Alternatively, there should be a 0.05% chance that some of that wrathful storm will blow back onto one of your settlements too! Mother nature can be such a sometimes.

Screeching women unit, just to remind the married players of home.
Nice one. I've got something better, though, and I think words need not be said considering how these pictorial representations are worth a thousand words each and demonstrate better than any rhetorical speech I could deliver on the dire needs of EB II and its lack of present-day anti-aircraft guns and medieval tanks with cannons.
Oh EB II, the possibilities! Will your team not consider these fine additions to each and every faction's roster?
Why not at Space Marines in Power Armour while we're at it.
Grab your sword and fight the Horde!
Add Two Steps from Hell music - oh wait, that wouldn't be so bad actually...
