That story begins with my 12-unit Roman force of Hastati, Principes, Cavalry, Triarii, and 3 generals besieging and assaulting Segestica. After breaking through the gates and routing their initial defense, I now faced a 90-man unit of Naked Fanatics. After being entirely surrounded by cavalry and infantry, not one Fanatic fell until about 2 minutes after engagement and had killed at least 40 of my soldiers.
I think the Fanatics are far too strong. They have no armor and should not be able to stand that long after being surrounded. The only way they would in reality be able to stand that long would be in a frontal assault where they have their shields concentrated in one direction. However, being surrounded and no armor, they should be destroyed in 2-3 minutes.
Perhaps something to think about for the next release, in the meantime, is there a way for me to modify their defense points?
