EDU values for Romani units

[cunctator]

Velites have an armour rating of 3 for wearing a metall helmet. In theory every unit that wears at least a shirt should get an extra armour value point for it, so Velites should even have 4.

The ordinary post marin cohorts have 10: 6 for chain mail, 3 for metall helmet +1 for check guards. The evocata have at least 2 more for wearing greaves, but I don't know were the other two come from .

The Antesignani's main armour is rated liked a muscled cuirass, thats 8, + 4 for metall hlmet with cheek guars and 2 for greaves.

Things as experience and quality of training is only relfected in higher attack and defense values not the armour rating.

For some units the stats differ from the system to tweak the combat system and better simulalate their historical performance. And of course there are still bugs in EDU or the system was adjusted since they were added and the old stats not changed.

At least for the roman units the MIC level mainly reflects the availability of these units, not their strength in battle.

It may be an idea to rename the defense categories. Its easy to do and could help answer many balance questions.

The first category "armor" should really be named "Defense vs. all attacks from all directions"

This is, of course, too long, but something more descriptive than "armor" is probably in order.

To be truly useful, it would have been nice if CA had 8 defense variables, 4 for each quadrant vs. melee and 4 for each quadrant vs. ranged.

This would make it much easier to make unit stats realistic. You could even give a stat bonus in the rear when a unit wears a shield on it back. But alas, one must work with what one has or get a degree in CS and move to Australia...
