Re: Real Pikeman weapons
Are you asking us historically what weapon the Macedinians used?

There's no reason to break a man simply because he's from Mexico. I'm an equal opportunity breaker and I will break anyone I please regardless of their origin.Originally Posted by Fridge

Re: Real Pikeman weapons
I think he wants to know why the macedonian royal pikemen use the same spears as the hoplites instead of long pikes like levy pikemen and the other macedonian phalanx unit.
I´m not a native english speaker, but I can understand him better than you, Khorack?
Think about that, concerning knowledge of a language.

Im from norway, 14 years old, reading and writing disorder. And you can understand what i write, (hopefully) So its no excuse being from mexico!
Re: Real Pikeman weapons
Maybe he just learned English or uses it very little.
As far as the topic in question goes. Just way too many little details to get all in the game, but that's what modding is for.

Re: Real Pikeman weapons
The Macedonian Royal Pikemen use short pikes in the game. This is a known mistake. It can be easily changed by going to your data\export_descr_unit.txt file, scrolling down to the unit "greek_royal_pikemen", and modifying the line "stat_pri_attr" to read "spear, long_pike" instead of just "spear".

Re: Real Pikeman weapons
I don`t want to be rude, but have to point out few misconceptions in your thread:
1. Royal Pikemen don`t use "short pikes" in vanilla RTW, they use normal ones (just as other hoplites)
2. There is mistake in unit`s name, rather then in it`s weapon. Hypaspists were armed just as standart hoplites - spear + large shield. I`d rather say that they, along with most other spear units, should have "short pikes" but it`s a debatable issue.
3. If you want to make them pikemen, you should also change their shield to the small one.
Re: Real Pikeman weapons
Indeed... The name is what makes for a misunderstanding. Nobody would complain if they had been named Hypaspists, and that is what they are.

Re: Real Pikeman weapons
You think you're sorry about English : I have to speak it every day of my life !
Oye , what a mess of a language it is
As for the Royal Pikemen , they are sort of an amalgamation of several historical units I think , but don't have the range of abilities that the Hypaspists had ; the Hopilite type Hypaspists should be able to exchange their spears for Javlins and act as elite heave peltasts , and there should be a sword specialist version I think as well .
The best option is to change the name to Hypaspists , adjust their stats to allow them to function well with swords and perform better all-round {they are really only on par with Armoured Hopilites as is} then create a javlin and sword armed version to round out the Hypaspist element of Macedons' armies , though creating a purely sword armed specialst as well might be worth it for some folk .
7 out of 10 people like me ,
I'm not going to change for the other three .

Maybe you should be more concerned with Mexico's child prostitution rings, drug economy, and widespread corruption from beat cops all the way up to the top than with getting Texas back. I've been there, the people are weird.

I do not hate mexicans and I am a American. I work regularly with Hispanics and really enjoy it. (mostly) However, do not let them get to you, and for GODS SAKES MAN do not turn the attack against others who are not involved

Guys don't mind Khorak, he's really a pussy who tries to cover up his lack of endowment with bellicose posts.
Good to see you here Khorak
And on the matter of Macedonian Royal Pikemen, if they're in fact supposed to have that shorter spear then I think I may play them afterall.
Renaming them would eliminate the confusion.

Re: Real Pikeman weapons
Belgians are just disaffected Dutchmen anyway
Re: Real Pikeman weapons
It says in they'r unit description that they do have the spear the hoplites use anyway...
Re: Real Pikeman weapons
Be warned world, lock up your daughters, baton down the hatches the Belgians are coming. Their legions of civil servants are relentless and unstoppable, armed with the truly deadly bureaucracy thrower, they will soon have you convinced a carrot is a fruit!!

They will also be hellbent on regulating the angle of crookedness of cucumbers once in power.
Think about it...
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Not to forget the banana.They will also be hellbent on regulating the angle of crookedness of cucumbers once in power.
Think about it...
But honestly it had a reasonal background (both bananas and cucumbers), though it was a bit too far out for most of us, and it would have been better to leave it alone.
