Units That Must Be Omitted

We could make some of the Briton units throw a head just before charge...like the Romans with the pilums...

Yeah...Good ieda...

Quick note, Onagers were used by the Romans

Nicknamed wild asses because of the way they worked

Where do they fit in your description of the roman military system?

Well I updated the Roman Military description in the Historian thread, and there is a small part on onagers now.

An example of onagers being mentioned would be at the siege of Masada, where they were going to be used except the defenses were too high.

i say get rid of them as they were not widely used

I guess. There are far more mentions of Ballisatas than onagers.

Maybe we can make them a "siege only" weapon?

I doubt that will work. Unlike the other siege only equipment, onagers need a special crew - so basically, even if you get them to siege only equipment (which could be quite hard, if not impossible), you could just use them if you got a normal siege weapon
in your army - its crew could shoot they own equipment empty first, then go to the onagers. But I am not certain if that works with crew of different siege equipment. So, thats not a sollution.

We could make 1 type of ballista firing greater shots with more power.
