Indeed, the Comitanense are tough, they have lots of staying power. They walz through weaker indies like nothing even alone (just a commander to lead them is needed). However, when I've tried to use them (even with the help of a prophet) against knights or barbarians, they've gotten trashed. The Leos added quite a punch to that staying power (and the Leos themselves have nice staying power to stand up front to deal the damage). Yet, as I mentioned, I wouldn't advice anybody to actively go for this strategy, but it certainly opened up to me that the Leos actually might have uses in certain situations, and I actually believe I might have a cunning plan for them in a few situations (need to test this out first  ). |
Don't get me wrong.. I still like leos. body ethereal burning hands has a lot to recommend it.
that said, if you want to take out cav, 80 gold get you 10 netwielding retiaris.. a cheaper solution for cavalry cannot be imagined.
