When did we say that? The precursor missile attack function is bugged in M2TW so units with just throw all of their javelins before attacking now.

I had that on my mind somehow. I think it was in the Romani II preview, but I´m not sure, may be my twisted mind. I´ll search for it.
How many rounds will they have? Two like in EBI?

EDIT:
OK, found it. I think I misunderstood:
"They have a pilum as secondary weapon, so you can make them throw it manually or in autofire.
The "throw javelin before charge" aptitude is buggy, sometimes the soldiers with this attribute don't attack anymore and get slaughtered in close combat, so we don't use it" - By gustave on the twcenter.net

They get 2 in the EDU, although because not all of the soldiers throw their pila in each attack you usually end up a few extra volleys.

Thx for screens Praetor :)

Does this mean that phalangites will not have a secondary weapon, then? Because that would leave the flank and rear of the phalanx completely exposed, and I didn't see a secondary weapon in the screens.

Is it me, or are the phalangitai shields much larger than in EB1?

Right now they have a secondary weapon (you can see the scabbards in some of the pics) but we might have to remove it if the phalanx isn't working how we want it to.

Yes they are a bit bigger.

That looks so badass!

Those phalangitai are beautiful, and the clash looks more chaotic ^^

Oh, forgot to mention the Credits: model, skin, animation and renders of the Oxybeles by Tux!

Holy moley! Wow. Great job guys.


EDIT: Whilst watching the video I came across this on another channel (possibly Praetor's ), it's pretty badass. Is something like this going to be in EBII?

I hope not Stratigos, because quite frankly it is not good enough. See how straight the head flies? And how easy.
