Amazon: Total War 8.0 Release

[Wheeliepaul]

I'm not sure. Had twice a CTD when attacking the Seleucids for the same battle. Unfortunately I overwrite the save game of this battle. When I start a custom battle with the same factions (Far East Celts and Seleucids) this also starts a CTD but after this CTD I couldn't replicated it anymore. Looking in the units of the Seleucids I noticed the amount of pikemen is 123 instead of 121 when you playing with large army. The reason is they have three man carrying a flag.

OK, now I understand why BB ask that questions in her post.

It is an ancient system, in preparation for the chaos of battle, the combat units often carry multiple banners to intimidate the enemy. And works to great effect. Napoleon, for example, used this ploy along with the trumpeters to victory at Marengo.
In the Amazons Total War, because we deliberately turned off the artificial banners to make the battle real, there are units with double flag plus an officer, or a color-guard. This is as intended.
Even BB got tricked into thinking there were two units instead of one unit.

Thanks

the amazon foot archers are available in the custom battle but not in the campaign. I only see them with amazonia but in their city Sinope they are available with archery range (level 2) and in Amasia with siege engineer (level 4). Maybe the reason is compositebow available or not?
Almost forgot the new units looks awesome. Great job done here.

I believe Scythia still have the same foot archers as before or a minor change. Which Libyan cavalry unit should be the Libyan Axe Cavalry?

That should be the horde cavalry, but BB just found out after the mod file was loaded that the unit uses javelin instead of mono-ballista.

Scythian has new head hunting maiden. And Scythian used to have another foot archer unit, and was disabled, this will be enabled.
