EB2 Dev Blog discussion

Hello,

Topic founded on the discussion of Dev Blog :)

In my opinion this Dev Blog is what we were missing all this time.
Great units cards, especially Nabatean Early Lancer and Machimoi Phalangitai.
I'm really looking forward to next note :)

I wonder though. Was the A-Team a popular theater show in Ptolemaic Egypt?

I don't understand what kind of question is that. Is it related to the Dev Blog? ~~If not, then please change it to something meaningful or I will delete it because this is meant to be a serious discussion thread and not a circus for clowns.~~

EDIT: It seems the question was related to the Dev Blog. Good to know.

The Erínamesh ana-Arabim look great too!
BTW are the machimoi spearmen now or he's simply holding the javelin?

JMRC, I think Sir Robin was alluding to the fact he loves it when a plan comes together.

I think it's due to Mr T being on the shield :)

We can't have swords and spears in the same unit, M2TW engine limitation.

Just a small clarification, to avoid some confusion: the engine allows having spears and swords in the same unit, but doesn't deal very well with it. He runs with one weapon, then switches to charge with the other, then switches again during the melee. So, we avoid this combination when we need a real spearmen unit. Still, we have a few cases where we kept the overhand spear and the sword in the same unit.
