Ubersoldat?

[Reverend Joe]

A while back, there was some discussion in EBH (or was it the Gameplay forum?) about how to deal with "Super elites", i.e. elite soldiers with full gold chevrons, who thereby became unstoppable killing machines. The worst offenders, I believe, were the Agemata and Kleuchory soldiers of the Ptolemaioi, and the Romani Triarii. Has this situation been dealt with somehow- i.e. capping upgrades at the silver chevron mark?

I`m on 262BC with the Aeduii, and from the number of battles I`ve fought, I can say that the triarii are pretty much the same as in 0.74...

Not invincible, but extremely tough.

The Gasaetae on the other hand don`t seem such a benemoth as once in 0.74. Alas, I`ve only played one battle with these, so I can`t say much about them...

Not invincible, but extremely tough.Triarii will be a bit different in 0.81...

Good, because as it is they're crucifying my Aedui armies.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is one of the best FPS games of all time. :beam:

I can't help but think of the movie SS Doomtrooper (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795457/).

On topic, is it even possible to remove all experience modifiers? Since troop types in EB and their stats already reflect experience it's an unnecessary abstraction.

[Zastrow]

Experience should still be there, there should be some rewards for having standing armies of combat-hardened troops. But yeah stopping at say silver instead of going onto Gold chevrons would be fine.

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Yes, we are thinking of topping experience levels for troops.

Yeah, I play it alot too, have since Beta. Never gets old. Wolf ET is the best multiplayer FPS game of all time, only thing that rivals it are some of the old Quake games. Quake II rocked for instance.

But I got a feeling we're terribly offtopic, then again, how can you not avoid it mentioning Das Ubersoldat?
