Re: Celtic overpowered!
I have noticed that Celts are very unbalanced in my EB 1, maybe that is because other unit types are (horsmen?).
For example, Celtics spearman are almost imposible to kill if you dont have 3 Hellenes units or the Silver shields..and they beat silver shields 1 on 1. Also they shortsword are way owerpowerd. I understand that some studies that are base for EB can not be denied, but it is a matter of source and perspective. I understand that 'half' of Europe are Celt. But that cant stand in front your rational tough.
For example, my history profesor that lectures all around Europe, once said to me that if one should count armies and strengts -- he should count MEDICALY!
I was like w..what? And he said
:'Yes, the more you have to offer your army as a cure to their wounds - they are more effective'.. and he added :'80% of all deaths after battles of ancient times (especialy Roman era) was due to their wounds and infections'.. And if somebody writes now that Barbarians had their Druids and Hellenes their academies and doctors wich makes them the same - I will hang myself...(and this is just an example, not to say knowledges of how to eat and live in civilised world)
The point is... you must tweak unit strengts as a 'whole' and if you can not (and it is well known that you can not!!!) incorporate all side effects in EB to make it more real -- you should tweak hitpoints at the least ! This just does not work well .. Civilised armies should be at least 20% stronger in commbat
thank you!
