I love longswords, so I say: go for swords!

And, as mentioned above, there already is a spear-bow unit.

[Phalanx300]

I gues they used primarely the bow? I also gues its an eastern unit? Which would make it probably more likely to prefer the spear. (like other archer spearmen)

[Martelus Flavius]

Sound reasoning, except on one thing : it doesn't take into account the coriolis-effect.

So due to this effect, knowing that a spear is long (We can even consider the extreme case of over long spear), there is a greater chance of target missing. Especially when our brave warrior fights at latitudes he is not accustomed to! (I mean if a southerner fights in scandinavia he have greater chance to miss its target than the skandinavian! Et réciproquement!)

For all this I would either go for the sword.

Sincerly yours

Martel

Well if it´s a infantry unit then it´s a bit more tricky, i think it depends mainly of what role will they have, like:
-spear and bow -> i eat light/medium cav for breakfast
-sword and bow -> i am a brave archer unit

Skinning work on a roman unit which may well be the last before... the next one! - Titvs Flavivs Martelvs

[Christianus]

On political and social tribal structures - Moros

I assume work is going on on something with a new tribal faction. The complexity of the previous steppe-factions system apparently goes on to include a new system for a new steppe-faction.
Then the "Occultus" faction wouldnt be India...

[Andronikos]

New tribal system could also improve Celtic and Germanic factions.

[Christianus]

I guess you are right.
The EB twitter http://twitter.com/EBTeam give good insight for news on Europa barbarorum I must say. Hope they will say something that can relate to the Gaza campaign soon. I feel it approatching

[Phalanx300]

Me as well!

On the Tribal system, they should make it like the city state system to show that loyalty wasn't always that high. Like the city states grouping together to fight Persia but afterwards just continue to fight themselves.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Elite archer/infantry unit huh? From the east? Sounds like it could be a Bosphoran Kingdom unit to me. Something Scythian in origin or influence I would assume.

Finished greek settlements for the map, some look pretty huge though... What to do next roman or barbaric ones?


The stratmap or the battle map?

[Tux]

Strat...

Or wait that shouldn't be said?!

I see no difference, I'd rather the team get on with the Persikoi or Keltoi.
