So far, in my time playing EB, every aspect of the mod seems to have been meticulously researched so as to add the utmost realism but I have noticed one oddity. Why would Akontistai have a 9 melee rating while a classical hoplite has only 10? I can understand the hoplite having 10 but shouldn't the akontistai, wielding only what seems to be a knife, have a considerably lower score? From every description, skirmishers and slingers are generally described as unable to commit to melee combat, which does hold true due to their lower armor ratings but their melee rating seems a bit high, unless of course I'm missing something, which I probably am. This is, of course, just out of curiosity, as even though their melee ratings seem high (for skirmishers) they still get abused in hand to hand by even my levee hoplites. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
