    I have a idea our 2.

    -In siege i think that towns with port, should be harder to starve them , because they receive goods from the harbor, to a major siege to be sucefull a blokade should be made.

    -the mercenary units status should be higher than the regular army,mercenary here expert units and battle veterans(most of times).

    Hi DeadRunner! Outro Tuga por aqui!?

    I agree with the longer sieges on port cities (unless the port is blockaded too). Other thing, don't you guys think sapping works .. uh.. too well?! I never use artillery nor towers nor rams... just bring down the walls with 0 casualties using sappers ... and then send the elephants. It's too damn easy the way ti is and I want to feel necessity in using art and assault towers to make assaults more realistic.


    About the mercs I disagree. Ok that they were perhaps more experienced (not all mercs were veteran since the large payments interested both n00bs and veterans)... but now compensate that with the fact that they were fighting for a foreign country. The balance in the end wouldn't make that much difference imo.

    "Against those who have incurred the wrath of God" - Genseric, King of the Vandals, ca455CE, replying to his helmsman whither he should steer. His fleets now yearly sailed from his new capital Karthadast. The whole of Africa, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and the Balearic Islands quickly fell in his hands. Then he sacked Rome. For 14 days and nights Genseric pillaged the city and returned to Karthadast, carrying much booty and many thousand captives, the empress and her two daughters. The city and the people were spared. Yet, they are the 'vandals'.

    I think that at the very least, the build points needed for sapping points should be increased (if that's possible, of course ;)).

    As for mercs, the original RTW system already has more experienced units showing up in specific provinces. For example, I was able to recruit a level 3 merc hoplite unit outside of Sparta, but it took a long time for the unit to regenerate. I'm sure the merc list will be tweaked a lot, but I think it's a good idea to have a balance between low-level mercs to quickly bulk up your army and a few elite units in specific provinces that can help tip the balance in a battle.

    Athenians in the game? Haven't you played the game yet? The are part of the Chremonidean Alliance, represented by the Koinon Hellenon in EB. About their naval, it was indeed excellent during the Golden Age of Pericles. Athens was not what it used to be, concerning her military and naval might.
