Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.2
Is there any interest in a pikemen + animalawe mod?
It would require 2 components:
1) Cavalry would need to be quite a bit cheaper, to the point that they were pretty well the preferred melle units.
2) All Cavalry are "animals", and units armed with spears, pikes, etc. get some degree of animal awe.
This would kinda screw over the various monkey nations, since I don't think their special rules could be restored (reincarnation, for example) if you stripped off animal.
The effect would (ideally) be:
swordsmen beat pikemen beat cavalry beat swordsmen
Which is not quite the desired:
Light cavalry beat heavy infantry beat heavy cavalry beat light infantry beat light cavalry
But would come close.
