Changing all unit HP 1--> 2?

[Qvintvs]

Increasing morale does quite a lot to make combats last longer.

Or creating a trigger that gives all generals a trait that increases morale of all units by quite a large margin - and this one works, or at least the penalties work, as i have learned a very painful lesson in BI trying to use Gratianus the lily-livered with his archer bodyguard, as a commander.


But since you want to achieve another thing....i do not think decreasing lethality would not be a good idea. Better stick with decreasing attack and defense. If you edit lethality, you will find archers not even taking casualties from cavalry charges.

btw, I think Gaesatae are supposed to be capable of ripping roman pila that stuck on him and thrown them back, made them only had one soul seems "ahistorical"

lol, well, two volleys of pilum (200 or so pila from 100 troops of a first cohort) only killed about 10-15 of my Gaesatate. The Gaesatate still ended up winning by shredding the 1st cohort in melee. By decreasing hp and increasing attack/defense, the Gaesatate aren't annoying as hell to fight anymore, but still a beastly unit that shreds others in melee. ;)

Another idea - cavalry fares poorly in melee mostly because of their size right? Because the horse + rider unit is so big, 1 cavalry unit has to fight like 3-4 infantry units at once when engaged in melee.

Do you thinking doubling their HP, and lowering their defense & armor would make them more effective at melee while keeping them not overpowered like in RTW vanilla?

Actually, what would happen if I gave cavalry unit's a mount value of 1 along with the unit HP of 1, instead of the unit HP being 2? Would that just mean they die twice as fast...or twice as slow?

Furthermore, are sarissa phalanx shield values doubled while in sarissa mode? Meaning the current shield value of 5 for all sarissa units becomes 10 shield points in sarissa phalanx mode?

2 HP cavalry are really really evil..... I've tested that, because that way, you could done rinse and repeat tactics EXTREMELY EASY, especially if they have LANCE

if you want 2 HP cavalry, meat grinder type like cuirassiers or sword wielding cavalry (that low in armour) is the best to have...
