Default Re: Why doesn\'t Arco have Phalangites (Pikemen) ?

I'm testing my Phalangites - and am amazed at how modding Dom2 is a breeze ! .
But I gave them a Long Spear, you convinced me of that choice K.O... So Hoplites are to get "downgraded" to vanilla Spears - and I'm sure that this will make hordes of players yell and wish my death !

As for cavalry I'd make 2 things :
* Give better armor to the spear-armed (no bow) Lt Cav, pretty useless now, as a kind of Medium cavalry.
* And create a new Agema Hvy Cav, marginally better equipped than the standard Arco HC *but* with a much better morale.
BTW, how to mod it to be capitol-only ?

In the end Arco Cav still won't be that good, but at least usable ...

Feedback *and* cool tga's for my Agema appreciated
Good! I don't mind shorter spears on the hoplites, as it makes the long missing phalangites more interesting. Hoplites are less fun than sarissa-wielding phalangites.

Capitol only is currently site dependent. Pity.

Aha! I got an idea. You could use an existing site that allows you to recruit a rare unit. I would recomend 'Horses Vale'. It is unique, allows for recruitment of 'horse brother' #450 and 'horse brother' #451 (commander). Change the horse brothers into Agema and Agema commander/champion. Add the Horses Vale to the sites of the nation and voila!
