Combat Changes, Morale Changes, Unit Scales, and Greek Shields

We do not sow.

Damn. Beaten to it.

I just noticed that the left sides of the shields are all scraped up.

Nice touch CA.

I like the sound of most of that, especially the extra flexibility with AP weapon stats, and the less hectic morale system (which in the past, wavering meant definite rout in 2 seconds).

I'm not sure I like the sound of soldiers having Hit Point's though. It sounds a bit Age of Empires-ish for a TW game. Unless you are a Gaesatae/Tindonatae or an Elephant, you would expect to be killed or at least incapacitated if a lethal weapon gets through any armour.

I see CA are keeping to the General and 19 units for a stack.
You can bring in a second army of a general and 19 units and control it as well on the battlefield.
Of course the second army must be near the battlefield area for this to work.
You can also choose not bring in a second army if the extra units cause you lag on your computer.

The player is also being given target areas' on the battlefield to capture or loose as the case maybe.

Army recruiting will be limited on a regional size basis or number of local regions a province has.
