If they get caught in the open - my mistake. Bye-bye seige weapons. Point is, I no longer keep them in my main armies. However, they do some wonderful HURT to walls/towers/gates - so I like them. In the end, tho, they have a limited use. My units would be wearing Lorica Segmentata by the time those seige machines made it from Rome to Antioch!
    And they'd be in crappy Late Roman gear by the time you get them to Baktra!
    But by then you'd have been destroyed because of the previously stated gear.


    Oh by the way, those Arrow Projectors, I may have been a bit harsh, they can easily destroy any unit including multi-hp ones, I attacked elephants in India with one unit of them(two catapults) and I killed all 3 elephants in one shot, then afterwards I killed about 40 Indian levies.

    Now I still got my ass kicked in the end, because afterwards the enemy -still- had 3 more units of elephants, one being the general with chervons and double size.
