why did this happen?

like I stated somewhere before in another thread. No problem for my Spartan Field army. Though I've used these slaves in defence of a newly rebelled citystate before. They are good for plugging the hole in the wall till you can get some better men down there. Quite frankly the best strategy to use them in that kind of situation is holding the enemy inside the walls, then moving your slingers along the walls to decimate the enemy from behind. If you hit your own troops, its in the face, therefore less deaths, and the ones that die, who cares?

Hmmm, does anyone have a link to the unit cards?

I want to check out the recruitment cost/upkeep/unit stats of these slaves.
I have several regional MICs in my campaign with the ability to train slaves, but I have no idea if they would make a decent militia garrison or not.

EDIT: Who are you playing as?

Kart-Hadast.

I don't think there has been an update of the unit cards since the slave unit was added.

Even though the slave unit appears in your MICs, government buildings, etc. they aren't actually available for recruitment. Their sole purpose is to lessen the chance of crashes.

The Unit Compare and the EB Unit Cards are all outdated, since they are a relic of EB v0.8. Use EDU instead. (export_desc_units that's in the EB Data folder) That's the only place where you will find accurate stats, although it is not as user-friendly and visually/aesthetically appealing as Unit Cards/Unit Compare.

Yeah, they were. I was thinking on working on them myself at certain times. If I or someone else could get hold of Arkatreides (the creator of the unit cards; his profile can be found here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=2091) and ask him to post his Unit Cards in their original editable state (with the template), then I could probably finish them. Funny how pretty much the only thing he is lacking on those Unit Cards are like half of the Romani units (

!!!). Those will definitely have to be completed. I could edit the stats on those cards without the template, but that will be slightly more messy and definitely more time-consuming. I also wanted to improve on those cards as well, which would be very difficult without the template, an needlessly so.
