    They look great! I noticed you based yourself on large unit scale.

    Great idea! I especially like that you've included the stats for secondary weapons and morale

    ive found the EDu file, it was hidden in the EB subfolder, thanks.

    Anyway, isn't what you are calling "lethality" a factor that is better when is lower? (cause it seems to be the "retard" between attacks)

    so numidian cavalry who has 0.04 lethality and 13 attack should do better than thessalian cavalry who has 11 and 0.13? (secondary weapon, the more often used...)

    again what does collision mass do in substantia? and why cavalry has not collision mass factor? i think heavy cavalry should have an hight collision mass. Just courious. Thanks.

    A slight update. I tried to include the short description but as expected it takes up a lot of space on the cards. I therefore decided to move some of the text over into icons - e.g. on the card below, the heart icon represents the "Good Stamina" trait.

    Let me know what you think.

    Not quite. Lethality is the chance that a hit translates into a kill. The lower lethality is, the more knock-downs you'll get, while higher lethality means less knock-downs and more kills.

    Not sure about mass, but IIRC it determines which unit will be pushed back during combat. I am told that, all other things being equal, the unit that is pushed back will do slightly worse in combat, but I don't think anybody ever tested this.

    @Ludens, thanks a lot for the explication, now understand why cavalry has not that collision mass factor, regarding the lethality think, i thought it was better when lower cause in the description there is written: "Min delay between attacks (in 1/10th of a second)" but im not good in maths

    @Arkatreide like very much the new format with the hearts

    These cards have made me wish that I could read a numerical morale in the game, rather than just see "very good morale".

    Actually, if you count correctly the min delay thingy is not the last entry but the one just before. Lethality was only introduced after patch 1.2(?) so as to slow down the overall kill rate (and thus speed) of the battles, but the description for it was not added to the EDU.

    Thanks. I am playing around with some other icons right now - in particular the 'wedge' and 'testudo' symbols.
