Note: sarmatian CAS builds are definitely still viable. This just prevents ahistorical exploits.

Bosphorans are a little bit too cheap because they are arrow proof after the HA arrow damage nerf. That 2 shield turns into 4 shield when standing still and not shooting. This is why 3 shield cav with good armor are basically kataphracts.

Not when they dont have armor upgrades, they are killable with proper harrasment and tactics.

What's this I hear about idle units having their shields doubled? Some sort of bug?

**Lazy O** · 05-26-2011, 18:25

No.

Nah, if I hold fire against HAs, I can basically run them out of ammo with very light casualties. They get shot to ribbons if they flank so the only method is to take a cata-archer for each of them. I can basically kill most of your archers and then cease fire and my archer won't die unless you flank.

So what exactly do we need installed to play? Am currently in the middle of a campaign on 1.2 without anything else.

Didn't reply earlier because I was in the middle of exams, now finished. ;)

Might join this, though all nice factions are taken. :P
