Re: Rebels/Eleutheroi
What's this big issue everyone has with the Getstae anyway? They never seemed to be much more than a nuisance to me.
All you need is a nice phalnax to hold them in place, plus something that gets them from their exposed rear. They usually do kill more than their fair share of my troops, but it's not all that bad as to require high level specialist tactics and skirmishing.. Am I missing something?

The naked freaks? They used to have multiple hitpoints and everyone who fought them back then still has bad memories.
Re: Rebels/Eleutheroi
They still have 2 hitpoints, they were never that hard to kill as long as you knew what you were doing, more people just seem to have figured it out.

Re: Rebels/Eleutheroi
Well GAESETAE isent much harder then other units to kill..They are realy fun to meet.
Re: Rebels/Eleutheroi
Really? I heard that no infantry unit had multiple hitpoints and assumed, my bad.
They do seem much easier to kill in .8 though. Of course I usually reserve my pila for them...

I think that 2 hp is fine. Anything more, however .. a Pilum jabbed in your body will incapacitate you, regardless of drugs you take. A light javelin is one thing, but this is a tad different.

Re: Rebels/Eleutheroi
I somewhat fail to see the difference in the amount of perforation of squishy internals the two do. It's not like the pilum had a wider wound channel or something. People normally drop from even less anyway, so for anyone who can ignore that much wound shock and general system trauma the practical difference ought to be fairly trivial.
"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."
