I have maked a small tuning on the CBM 1.6, lowering a little the age of Triarii. Why? I start from beginning...
I agree that the praetorian guard is a prestigiuos role gained after a long career as soldier; this definition justifies the old age of the praetorian guard in the game and the consequent afflictions derived from it.
But the triarii units was the better piece of the entire roman army; they was a well trained and equipped soldiers, ever deploeyed in the rear of the army to inflict the critical hit to the enemy.
Hence I refuse to figure them as seasoned men with rheumatism, affliciton and osteoporosis
I know that a triarii unit has to be a veteran but not necessarily a decrepit man, so my test was to lower his age from 55 to 45 to avoid the affliction penalties and to increase his "temporal" efficiency,
otherwise this unit (the most powerful in the real roman army) remains totally useless for the gaming purpose.
After two game played with this variant, I'm secure that this little tuning would improve both the CBM mod itslef and the game experience of the players that prefer ermor or phytum nation.
An other little tuning that I've maked is to raise the Censor cost from 30 to 50, but is is another story for an other post.
So, is it possibile to consider this modification and insert it in the next version of CBM mod? What is the opinion of the other players, especially Ermor/Phytum one?
Thanks and sorry for english,
