Also, unlike Babylonian Spearmen, they have javelins which makes them much more effective against the lightly armored axe units in the east imo. I have also edited shortsword values however so don't mind me though.
sure, however If you are rich enough to form an army of either Turk-Shrimps(my mock name for Babylonians) or "imitation legionaries" you probably also have money for Quality archers, Horsearchers or cheap archers all of which are very deadly to all eastern axemen, as they lack armor and a big shield. Editing the shortsword seems prudent tho, only the attack value or lethality aswell?
