Two suggestions concerning combat

[A Very Super Market]

On the other hand Polybius (I think it is) tells how the Macedonian Phalanks advancing to engage the Romans is unnerved by the sight of dead countrymen from a skirmish before and hos their limbs were hacked from their bodies, etc. That might of course be post-morten mutilation for that exact reason, but my experience tells me that though the Gladius Hispanensis (which I have heard say was a large part of the reason that Scipio Africanus was so successful) is a fine weapon for stabbing; getting in close, locking the enemy's shield with their own and stabbing them in the belly, it is not bad for cutting either.

Probably also because limbs are skinny and difficult to stab, and chopping one in two probably saved a good deal of effort.

Why not simply have both animations?

My apologize pals. It seems that my memory is more unreliable than I believed...
The original text in The History of Greek and Roman Warfare is "...modern archers lose accuracy and power after ten MAXIMUM pulls. In some armies the strongest recruits were selected to learn to shoot the bow."
I guess 10 maximum pulls with a powerful bow should be rather tiring, but can RTW engine distinguish a maximum pull from a half-way pull?

Hehe, wake up and smell the coffee, brotha. RTW? EB2 is for M2TW, eh?

which has got a very similar engine...
i do not think that anything like archers firing only half range fire faster than ones firing at maximum range, or exhausting slower, or anything like that can be modded into the engine.

probably the easiest way to implement this would be to make fireing with a bow as tireing as fighting in melee. if that is not possible all other solutions are unlikely to work aswell.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

This is already implemented in M2 TW. Archers, even those with good stamina, are usually tired or exhausted after firing off the majority of their arrows.

Oh, have to play more M2TW ^^ thank you
