Scary units

Yes, it should be scary if you're near it but if thsoe guys are a few hundred meters down the line, its unrealistic.

Only the bee/diseased trait wouldn't be any more realistic, since that would only effect those attacked, when attacked. The naked guys scared the enemy - and not just the specific guys they attacked - long before that by their look, their sound, their reputation and their crazy, drugged up charge... not to mention their Superman-like stunts such as pulling javelins out of their chests and throwing it back before they charge.

The scare trait might not be perfect, but it is IMO the best option available.

Didn't someone mentions that Gaesatae were going to be revised in EBII?

Of course every single unit is going to be redone from scrap. Both historically as moddelingwise. Actually the unit lists as well. They won't be based on EBI.

Yes.

Edit- Since I got a PM from Ludens, I guess I should make myself clear. This isn't some crusade against the team. Your game is fantastic and deep and intellectual. However, in a few spots, for whatever reason, some theoretical or a-historical content made it into the game.

I don't think there's anyone on the team who still (at least publicly) believes any of the fantastical things added by you-know-who, but unfortunately a lot of the members here today weren't around when these facts were in contention.

If people bothered checking their assertions before posting them, we wouldn't have this issue. But unfortunately a lot of people are content with simply hearing it from someone else. Again, I'm not attacking the team, I'm attacking the lack of intellectual rigor exhibited on the forums.
