I was wondering when this was going to get posted.

I agree, javelins on the whole are hella nerfed, especially the pila. I mean, why whould they use them if they only caused one or two casualties a volley? I'm not saying that the whole enemy unit needs to roll over and die (even if it would be hilarious), but javelins seem to do even less damage than the even lighter and smaller arrow. I'm no expert, but the bow and arrow's main drawback was the arrow's lack of mass behind it, so it didn't have enough punch. The javelin, later replaced by the longer ranged crossbow, had the mass and power, if lacking in distance, to handle heavier armored soldiers.

If you wanted, it's not difficult to edit the EDU on our own and post it as a mini mod.
