I thought their original name was something like "Pontic Elite Infantry", though I'm not sure. Anyway their description says they are not elite, but a good heavy infantry. Okay, nevermind with the morale question about them, then the 13 is correct. I hope their "combat" stats get an overhaul in EB2.

Correct? You're joking right? I'm sure you didn't mean to offend, that you meant to say that 13 is "reasonable", not "correct". What is correct? incorrect?

Oh my good friend. And you have a good memory. They were formerly named Elite Infantry of the Pontiks.

they are not elite, they are armoured.

I'd love to see kind of tech advance, since there are no historical characters ingame like Julius Caesar or Augustus... why would we have to stick with the historical parameters? I mean, maybe you could make some scripting that decides whether or not Roman receives lorica segmentata or whether or not (like a switch that activates certain units, certain new buildings, ships etc)

Im fairly sure its been stated many, many, many times that LS wont be included and anyway how would you implement reserch/tech advances in a MedII mod? This isnt Empires and I dont think it would fit in Eb at all...

LS??

IRL, LS was rarely used, and even roman legionaire were barely worn armor. only when inspection or parade.

Yesss I know !! but that's what I mean, not a research tree like in ETW but a script-like with objectives that you would have to fulfill (like in reforms) in order to achieve some "minor" advances, or the option to build certain things to engrandeur the roman res publica or empire (like minor obelisks in rome that gives you certain morale bonuses or trade bonuses only allowed after you conquer the Ptolemaioi, or the expositions of barbarian kings and nobles once you have annihilated the gauls)

I know LS it was not used widely IRL but it would be great to have that option if you have the ability to accomplish the necessary objectives. Like secondary objectives. : )

Not sure if this is possible......but I would like to see cavalry charge through and out of the other side of the unit they are engaging....or at least a chance of this.
