How do attack values work? Attack + lethality, armor/shield/etc

Because it's an incredibly difficult word to spell, and I always thought it was pronounced with two t's such as: Gus-ta-tay?

Hmm... Odd, since you've been spelling it right save for the "t"... I haven't heard or seen the extra "t" pronounciation or spelling, I don't have EB on this computer so I can't double check.

How does movement fit in for shield? Units take more damage from the front while moving than just standing there. Is the shield applied when moving or is it just not doubled? I seem to recall that it is only doubled when standing still.

Also the ready position is a better defense against missiles than idle.

I believe it is pronounced Guy-sa-tay btw

Guy-sa-tie

Wow, Tindanotae has 2 less morale and a bit longer javelin range for the same price as Gaesatae. BAD.

You're probably correct. My spelling is jerry rigged.

I have often tried to use this, move_character(moving rebel stacks to nearest rebel settlement) and add_money to stop blitzing from AI factions and get a historical-ish expansion, but it never succeeds, even with 60+ units and a million Mnai The Yellow Death and Pontos in my current campaign is still overrunning the AS and the Sweboz still pwns their Eleutheroi neighbours. I am not certain it is worth the hassle. I have also used it to get reformed Sweboz infantry after reforms should have happened but only heavy cav was available. I created infantry in the relevant towns and gifted other factions with the equivalant Mnai.

Cool thanks. Although the main reason for me to spawn units isn't to stop AI expansion, but to give me a challenge. ie. If I'm Carthage, I want to spawn 10 full stacks of hastati/principes/triari in Italy when my army is about to invade Rome. If I'm Rome, I want to spawn 10 full stacks of elite Carthie units...

Mostly just about the challenge of fighting wave after wave of full stack enemies with your same veteran units. ;)
