getai generals

are the getai generals unit a placeholder? i know that some thracian tribes had become hellenized to a degree, but i expected the getic generals to be similar to the sweboz ones, ferocious warriors on foot, or even if they were cavalry to still be a "tribal" kind of cavalry. they just don't seem to fit in with the rest of my army, which isn't really hellenized at all (komatai toxotai, komatai and drapanai). also they suck compared to other generals. they die way easy. anyway, if historically the leaders of the getai were equipped in a hellenic manner then that is fine by me but plz can u at least balance them to the other generals? cheers and thanks for the best game of all time.

Looks like the Getai guys have missed this. To answer your question, I'm not 100% certain but I think they plan on re-doing the Getai gens.

Yeah it's a place holder fow now...

Check you're gen's hitpoints. If they are set to:1 you should change it to :2 or make al the other generals 1 hiy point as well.

yea I cant stand how some generals have 1 hitpoint while others have 2...
especially if theyre cavalry and lose half their number in a charge against anything with remotely any armor.

They'll all have 1 HP in the next build.

cool thanks for the replies

thats better
I hated playing as Getai and facing rebel generals with 2 HP against your 1.
Its always fun having your faction heir slaughtered when he has twice the number of bodyguards as the rebel general.

Great. I can't tell you how many men I have to sacrifice to take a town Guarded by one unit that happens to be a general with 50 guards.

are you improving mak generals? without shield they stand no chance against shield bearing ones like pontic general (especialy as the charge is bugged)

Im not asking to give them shield but maybe bit of armour/skill,more Atkmaybe

HetGen:ATK 10,60
Def 14,8,0
vs
PonGen:ATK 13,55
Def 14,9,2

some non general units will be more powerful also like iberian heavy cav
Edit:Regular Hetairoi have Def 18,9 so gen should have 18,10 or 19,10

Het generals will have the same stats at Hets. Not having a shield isn't a disadvantage as a Kontos is a better weapon (higher leathality).
