3.4 EDU - SUGGESTIONS

[gamegeek2]

I'm putting this on a timetable. I want to finish this EDU, to be the final EDU for June, by Thursday at Midnight Eastern Time US. As such I am now collecting all suggestions for what changes should be made to EDU 3.3 to make June's (and hopefully July's and August's) EDU.

Changes suggested thus far:
-Decreasing of steppe unit ammo except for basic HAs (ones with just a bow and short sword)
-Increasing of archer ammo for some non-steppe units (example: Persian Archers)
-Altering of Sarmatian infantry roster (shrinking the total number of units available, factionalizing units and limiting mercs to the standard number)
-Buff to steppe infantry units (Sauro/Saka spearmen) and some levy spear units.

Well besides what we just discussed two units that need recosting or restatting...

1. Indo-Iranian Light cavalry
2. Caturige Gaedann

Also I think Dumnamica should be disciplined as should Thorakitai. Perhaps higher accuracy ratings for Lusitanian skirmishers too? The Ambusher unit at least. A cost bump is alright but it would be nice for Luso's to actually be the best at light skirmishing.

disciplined thorakitai would be good seeing as they arent very useful compared to other units at the moment, you mentioned that the getic light phalanxes need a 4 shield, and id like to add that the african elite infantry could do with a sprite seeing as when zoomed out their only indication is a unit marker, and in a melee theres about 20 unit markers. i suggest maybe the ptoly thorakitai sprite as thats about the same shape and color.

I'd like to see Indo-Iranians as a 60 man unit with lower morale and a similar price. They are far too light to be 50 men and don't hit hard enough to qualify their cost.

Caturige Gaedann need extra men too. Perhaps 100 or 90. They also cost substantially more than units like Galaiche while having fewer men and not doing much better except not routing.

Maybe a modest uptick to spear units lethality? We discussed this but either way its fine.

Libypho infantry should not be disciplined, in the same vein as regular Hoplitai.

Eastern Medium cav are worse than and cost more than Median Medium Cavalry.

Don't forget about Hippeis and Equites or have you already completed them? Bah you have. Stream of consciousness posts are the best.

Perhaps moderate/heavy cost decrease for elite phalangites and light cost decrease for pezhetairoi/hysteroi pez. Still keep regular pez over 1850.

Our pahlava friends have the issue of Dahae Noble Cav being not much better than Dehbeds anymore yet costing significantly more. They also have lesser charge which seems odd. Also parthian spears should be cheaper. My rear produces more interesting results than they do.

Oh and you wanted to redo Khusvanagangvarnagroamadcaleodlz (Kinsmen Heavy Cav) and also Cappadocian Medium Cav need a complete overhaul I think.

Ok, you asked for it so it is all on the forum now and everyone should be having a good laugh at my expense. So it goes when you type this up at 2 am after work.

There's nothing wrong with Rhodian slinger range. You say in that other post that they have longer range than Scythian foot archers, but that's hardly surprising: all slingers have that, except for Balearics. This is all fine and proper, since slingers should have longer range than bows and Rhodians were well known for their skills with it.

Also Triballi Infantry lost to Illergetans in a test battle me and LMT just fought. They need at least +1 defense skill to justify their price compared to other 80 man longsword units which have 13 vs 11.
