Historic Battles for EB?

[QuintusSertorius]

So we get homogenous, Roman-only armies? Aren't there any other non-Roman units that could have been mixed in to vary it? Or done some battles with more variety, like Scipio's in Spain?

And what about Telamon? Or Cynocephalae (assuming it's the Roman battle, not the other one)?

After the Second Punic War, the allies looked more like the Romans. I really think that the allies you want are better for the Camillan period. Maybe for something of the First Punic War.

Celtiberians were also one of the last units to arrive to the game. Me and tk wanted to do Ilipa, but decided it was better to wait for that unit. Right now, I cant promise nothing because I am busy.

By the way. I think I have great variety with the battles. Almost one for every faction in EB.

I don't mean to come across all negative, I was just disappointed seeing the battles featuring the Romans, and they were all pretty uniformly mostly-Roman (since we don't have any differentiated "Italian" hastati/principes/triarii, and no space in the unit roster either). I'm not disputing that there's a variety of battles, or that there's even treatment of all factions, just wasn't impressed with the Roman rosters. Which admittedly is a result of the choice of battles.

Some battles from the First Punic War - like those in Africa, for example (even if Regulus was defeated), or some later like Magnesia (which surely would have had some Greek troops alongside Roman) might have given that. Or indeed the earlier battles like Trebia, Lake Trasimene and Cannae (although I recognise the latter is hard to do with the RTW engine), before the defection of the socii.

Shouldn't Telamon (immediately before the Second Punic War) have some Italics at least?

Ilipa would have been nice, but if the units aren't ready, then I guess it would have been missing out on something. Tis a shame.

Just keep at it Ed and don't worry about things like this. Actually creating them is where the tite spot is and you've done a great job at it.
