Have you seen this 'mod' RH?

Made by ferres with readme by GODzilla, this changes the early Roman 'General' unit into a HA unit.

The skirmish ability makes them less likely to charge gloriously into a wall of spears.

The rest of the 'mod' includes some of the best looking roman skins you find anywhere.

Worth a shot, IMO
