I thought they were nicely characterful. A bit on the brittle side, granted, but then they're clearly more of a "psychological warfare" than elite shock unit anyway.

"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."

There good to shoot the crap out of the enemy from the rear. When assaulting I make all of my units use all of there ammo before I take the town square. And the chariots can turn the tide of a battle with a charge to the rear.
Re: Casse Generals As Infantry
Casse generals are the worst unit in the game imo. Their only virtue is that they can frighten and its rare where that comes into real play for me. Id much rather prefer skirmisher calvary even, because at least then I could use them to hunt down fleeing units instead of rolling after them for 5 minutes trying to stub their toes.
Would getting rid of their silly javelins, adding some armor and giving them a decent primary wep be too overpowered? Even then they would be a cumbersome unit.
Re: Casse Generals As Infantry
Sorry for that necromancy, but if I aplly those changes to the edu, does it follow that I have to pay the actual upkeep for the generals?
Actually I think you also normally do pay upkeep for your FMs, because whenever I play a tiny faction and a new family mamber comes of age or marries into your dynasty, the income of your towns drops.
EDIT: I don't know if it would be inappropriate to post this in the regular forum? I think fewer people look here.

Re: Casse Generals As Infantry
Yes, you will have to pay the standard upkeep for the unit (taking bodyguard size into account, of course). You also pay 200 mnai for every family member regardless of the size of their bodyguard: this is displayed as "wages" rather than "upkeep" in the economy and city detail scrolls. Standard EB bodyguard units are therefor free of upkeep.Originally Posted by ziegenpeter
I like to keep questions about submods here, but if you really can't get an answer you can post in the main forum.

But I guess I could make some changes to also make the new BGs "free" (except for those 200)...?

Re: Casse Generals As Infantry
Yes: the third number in the stat_cost line represents upkeep. Set that zero. This will mean that the normal Calawre (or whatever unit you select as BG) will also become free of upkeep. Also, according to Aradan the A.I. will not recruit units that are set as general's bodyguards. Keep that in mind when you start a campaign with another faction.
