Relative experience from unit type to unit type is reflected in their base stats.

Not only is HAs overpowerd (prob). They are reeeeally boring to fight too :P

[QwertyMIDX]

As one of the main EB staters, PLEASE don't use lots of experience, it completely breaks the stat system and we're working internally on a way to make it less problematic.

I recall reading someone saying experience will be disabled in future builds, or at least limited; is that correct?

...thus no need to add chevrons. imho, it'd make things less complicated.

[bovi]

Hehe, and 4 people have voted for 9 experience even though it's impossible . Still, a majority wants at least 3 chevrons so far (12 versus 6 who want less than 3), so it appears to be no holds barred on experience.

[mAIOR]

well, I think that HA (in my gaming experience) are only overpowered against celtic type factions (meaning factions whose soldiers have little armor) if you try with an army of HA to pit against an army of a civilized faction with higly armored troops, you'll find that they are less than effective. Now, I think armored HA should be limited as those guys are Catraphacts no matter how you put it. It should vary from faction to faction for instance Parthia should be able to field more HA than AS for instance...
Just my 2cts...
Oh and im'plement that rule where HA after depleting arrows are forced to charge so they don't go and run around tiring the enemy.

Cheers...

There should also be no weapon upgrades for missile troops. They're disabled in EB and shouldn't be in multi-player.

[Pharnakes]

How do you define missile troops though?

[QwertyMIDX]

Well the game defines it as anyone with a ranged weapon. For the purposes of this you could just do slingers and archers though.
