Weird observations using custom battles

CBR,

Where can I find the download in that link?

Quote[/b] ] armour upgrade is defense/armor by +1

So armor increases defense and protection from arrows or just the latter?

Quote[/b] ] The charge can sometimes produce very different results as it depends a lot on angle/speed and what the enemy unit is doing.

Indeed. Interesting but frutrating. Especially for testing purposes.

Phatose,

Quote[/b] ] In your example, don't forget that militia are polearms - big bonus vs cavalary, and armor piercing IIRC, which is going to be big trouble for something like lancers. It's kind of innately skewed towards the polearms, upgraded o

Good point, that would explain that in large part. But I tested byzantine infantry and the result was even more staggering

Quote[/b] ] Mostly though, in SP what it comes down to is that it's far, far easier to obtain a fully upgraded teched up unit then it is to get a valoured-up low grade unit. The only really easy ways to get valour works for either high tech or low tech. So why would you go low tech?

Hmm. How can you get a fully upgraded tech up unit though?

Other question: I haven't had a chance to use Hashishins yet so I tried them in custom and they weren't invisible (this was in the desert). What gives?

Also, Hobilars (for the same price) with upgrades tested superior to lancers. So why would I use lancers in MP (I have not played MP yet)?
