    Ok, i'm an duche, i admit it. I missread your post, wasnt paying enough attention, so i owe you mi sincere apologies. I've just seen a few threads where sarcasm just wasn't noticed, and when i saw this one i just felt the need to say something. It's a bad habit, and i had a bad day.

    I'm an idiot. I deserve to get a on my behind.

    Don't make your judgment of me by this one post, usually i help where i can

    I also hate the woods. They are awfull and I dont remember any big army in history moving through a hostile forests for a long time or fighting in one. (Dont mention the Teutoburger forest battle, because it wasnt probably one big battle and it was for sure not in the Teutoburger forest)
    With armies as big as Ebs it is just ludacris to fight in a forest, you see nothing,you have no controll over your units and you dont know whats going on in other part of the battlefield. Maybe everybody else of your army got slaughtered and you never recognize until to late. I cant imagine celts or germanic tribeman wanted that to happen in a big battle.

    By the way combat bonus in woods istn that a big deal (I think it only enhances defense skill a little bit)

    It actually increase attack damage.... as units will kill "sightly" faster in the forest
    (lethality in EB are toned down, to see that the best way, try vanilla and watch docile barbarian warband suddenly kill at faster rate)

    I hate only those frorrests with those oversized Californian Redwood trees. With those smaller trees forrest battles are actually quite enjoyable.
