Retarded men?

[TruePraetorian]

@pezhetairoi - Nope im not...but I have been thinking about it since i have to re-install the game (Vista and program files...)

Is it worth it? I didn't know if first cohorts were that important but come to think of it...

[Ibrahim]

first cohorts would be a nice touch...there is a mini mod, that makes javelins stronger, and adds the dreaded 1st cohort..unless you know that already, in which case you can just say screw everything i say...

[TruePraetorian]

..Screw everything Ibrahim says..



Just kidding. I knew of the First Cohort mod but didnt know of the javelin part to it. I guess ill download it and find out for myself.

[Ibrahim]

it could be two seperate minimods though, the one you're talking about and what I'm talking about (dunno, I'm on LSD 1/2 of the time-too much molded wheat)

@Praetorian

The brilliant part about the First Cohort Mod isn't the First Cohorts, which you'll probably never see anyway, but the hoplite and chariot mod coupled with it.

Firstly, it changes hoplite stats so they become much nastier and packs them into an even tighter formation. Also, it makes them charge as an entire mass instead of line by line like the sword infantry do. Secondly, it makes chariots tougher also.

That, I think, is much more useful than the First Cohort minimod. The hoplitai become a lot scarier once you use that mod. Although their frontage decreases as a result, but they are much much more powerful now. Not to mention the hoplitai will adopt an overhand grip as they did in the past.

But many of my hoplites already have the over-hand grip...do you mean all of them?

AFAIK there were two kinds of hoplites, the Hellenistic and the Macedonian "Alexandrian" hoplites...when I made a small "mod" for RTW (it was mostly a personal mod) I made this so, using shield wall since I ran it through BI.exe.

But what do you mean that I wont be able to see the first cohorts?
