Re: Unit Stats Q and can foreign people be your Bren?
Yes, if they were in an city is another thing. When I saw then inside an city I always keep the siege until they attack or give up. Gaesatae are true nightmares when in the city center....was it at a city? i find them harder to kill in towns than in the open field, perhaps because they are fresher, but also because my men have less room to flank and missiles are hard to bring to bear.

true... BUT just buy a couple of phalanx mercs (greek or macedonian) and u won't take so many casualties, it will take a while though.Originally Posted by Lusitan_Centurion
Outside a city, easy. Just treat them as you would any Elite unit.
-A decent unit or 2 in HOLD formation in the front to hold them,
-A cavalry to change and re-chage in the back.
-Then a good infantry to hit them in the back.
IF posible, fight them from the the elevated ground, hit them with arrows/javelings/stone...
In M battle difficulty is really a BREEZE. In H then u need to be carefull, in VH your in deep s*** but is still winnable.
Don't understatimate them, don't get overconfident, EXPECT casualties. Just play smart.

Incidentally, I noticed enough Kluddolon could deal with a random Eleutheroi stack of a few Tindanotae pretty well. The naked men didn't seem to appreciate the sheer volume of javelins and itchy dwarves with steak knives coming from all directions...
Sure, I lost a fair few of the shirtless little fellows in the process but who the heck counts them anyway ? They're easy to replace.

Re: Unit Stats Q and can foreign people be your Bren?
I found the gaesatae file thing and this is how I changed them, I lowered their armour to 1 their def skill to 15 and their shield to 3, I lowered their attack to 10 but raised their HP to 3.
I then refought the battle with my Greek/Roman army and I won but they killed enough of my soldiers to retain their "super-infantry" status.

Re: Unit Stats Q and can foreign people be your Bren?
Weak. Seriously, and with no intention of personally slandering anyone, the fault lies not with unit stats for the Gaesatae but with tactical deficiency on the part of the player.
The Gasatae are easy to draw out from the enemy line with cavalry or missile troops at which point they perish wholesale. Even in pitched fighting I simply pin them with levies and charge their flank or rear with whatever is handy. Skirmishers of any kind work well in this capacity if they have missiles available...yes skirmishers believe it or not
It's just not worth it to waste veteran troops or elite troops against them so why bother?
The Gaesatae are not supermen, and sound tactics work against them. Their strength, like many of the units in EB, is situational but if attention is not paid in learning their weaknesses than why expect to win?
These sorts of complaints frustrate me.
