ACS EDU for multiplayer

This is my edu, paste it in RTW/EB/mp_game_backup folder.

http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/3198...descr_unit.txt

Nothing special, only change few things in units stats.
Cavalry of original edu made me mad :furious3:
Was not possible that cavalry was so stronger when charge in front a unit of heavy infantry(NO STIRRUPS at that time).

I ve decrease the number per unit of cavalry and archers, respectively 25->20 and 40->30.
Sure that powerful infantry was more realistic in that time.
For balanced multiplayer i also increase the cost of pre-marian legionarys (hastati, principes, triarii).
Plus i ve decrease shield value for phalangites (from 5 to 4).
I ve give some bonus fighting cavalry to all infantry (+1, +2, +3, +4).

Nothing else...
try it for have different experience and, in my mind, more fun.
Don t forgot to make a copy of original edu... if you want return to early game.
If anyone want play and testing this with me, i m often online in hamachi EBUT01 pass EB.
I still have original file, but if anyone want, i change it in 15 seconds:laugh4: it s so easy.

have fun guys:2thumbsup:

i hope that people like you :laugh4: take a look of what i wrote before answer in this way.

I haven t said that cavalry is too weak, i say that cavalry is too powerful.
This is the problem: that cavalry(without bracket!) can charge in front a unit of spearmen and kill many of this.
So i said that cavalry is too strong not too weak.:yes:

Nothing to say about mods intersting, what did you understand?
i love EB like people like you.:clown:

no, I read the whole thing, and got the idea-I just do that sometimes, just to annoy people:evil: (notice the clown smileys)

but it really is an interesting mod-the cavalry could use a restating for people whose infantry isn' in tip top shape. saba and to a lesser extant coud use it.

yes, i saw, after many online battles, that all units(without phalanx) was very weak against cavalry attack.
There is many type of armoured cavalry(like bactrian bodyguard 29! of armour) that charge in front the spearmen and kill 30-40% of them:skull:.
Also cavalry not died after that, but can easily escape from melee...
So cavalry re-charge in front and spearmen rout :embarassed:: i want only avoid this.
It s right that cavalry give great damage from the back, but isn t right if it give about same damage from the front.

I did many test for take a look of thing to do.
And after that i made this edu for have more balance between infantry and cavalry, and between barbarians and hellenics.
I also noticed that barbarian factions are very weak in multiplayer due to their bad armour.
Increase shield value is the best solution in my mind, because shield defence become double for missile attaks from the front.
Now also barbarian and light infantry are more protected from archers and, especially, horse archers.

This edu isn t already complete... i want try it in mp and thinking about it is right or not.:smash:

I'd make some spaghetti if I were you.
