Hi
I read somewhere that all the unit´s experience adds to attack. (is that right). So If I have a unit of Hastati with exp 7 that means they get 7+ original attack. Does it also add up to the charge bonus?


I started focusing on this because yestarday I got the necessary technology to start using Principes as a building block of my armies. But I realized that if a unit of principes charging against gallic warbands got 57 kills and 7 losses, the unit of Hastati (hardened veterans that conquered Gaul from the meditterranean to Belgium, exp 7-8), got 71 kills and 10 losses, against the same foe.

They die faster, that I understand as they have less armor, but their attack is said to be equal in the in-game scrolls.

BTW, ballistae are great! Its just amazing how entire ranks get bounced backwards when that thing hits the formation. I park them on the bridges with a couple of principes and 2 archer units, and thats carnage.
