Numidian Mercineries and the problem with the Cantabrian circle

**Kagetora** · 08-31-2004, 03:53

I hope this hasn't been brought up yet (been a little busy with school) but when I put the Numidian Mercineries in the Cantabrian Circle ability, when they go to throw their javelins and are than charged by the romans Cav, they don't withdraw and then proceed to just get slaughtered, isn't there something wrong here?

Yeah they do seem to have some problems getting away in time, even against elephants!

Yeah, I've noticed that too. The concept is really cool and it looks great right up to the point that they infantry reaches their circle, then they just plow into the infantry in the way.

I haven't had any cav or elephants take me out - just some slow ass Princeps marching towards them.

Circle... throw jav... circle... HOLY CRAP WHERE"D THOSE GUYS COME FROM!!!

I got them working just fine.
And fine indeed it was

I think they have skirmish turned off to start with in the Trebia battle.

They work fine, when they on skirmish mode they withdraw automatically.

LOL!

I know you meant princepes, but you actually said "Slow ass emperor".

Princeps, or "First citizen", was the honorific given to Augustus as well as the other emperors who followed.

No offence, old bean. It just sounded funny.
