I have some suggestions on the units implementation and structure:
First of all i have some suggestions on the greek side of the map:
1. The name "Greek Cities" while there were two leagues and have been melted in one by CA the main objection that i have is the separation of the Makedonians from the greek mainstay there is no need for me to exxaragate into analysis and evidence as every sane person knows that MAkedonia was the homelad of the migrating to the south greeks... So i would suggest the alteration of the name to the "Greek League".
2. The whole Phalanx implementation is completely OUT of this world: Apart from the miserable fact that every backwaters nation in the game uses the disciplened formation its also not correctly implemented for both the classical and the Sarissa formations:
As the classical formation should have used the spear attribute with 2 meters spears OVERHAND!!!
The intermediate Phillips Sarissa phalanx should use the short_pike attribute and underhand with large shields (ASPIS NOT hoplon=weapon!!)
The Successors PIKE sarissa phalanx should use the 6 meters pikes with BOTH hands underhand with small shields hanging from their arm.
The phlanax SHOULD have the option of CHARGE!!! It was used offencevly the pikemen were running (on straight direction) and CHARGING to batter the opposition so their formation will have a purpose and be actually DANGEROUS!!
3. The great cavalary armour issue I dont know if its going to be corrected in the patch but anyway i have this suggestion:
The horses now are bound to the riders and the riders armour is MAGICALLY transferred to the horse making it a magical cataphract![]()
Just make some tests with the pike phalanx against Light lancers if you increase the RIDERS armour the horses WONT die on the pikes, now as i know the pike hits the horse and RARELY the rider so how the horses will survive the frontal charge? THEY WONT and they shouldnt. Also Vercigentorix at the twcenter has made an animation for the horses NOT jumping over the pikes wich is correct!! So i would suggest to correct the separation of horses armour or if thats not possible the COMPLETE separation from the riders As the elephants.
Thats my 3 cents i hope that this mod comes out soon and surpasses the original...
