Lonchophoroi hippies

[dbarger58]

im curious to know exactly were they fit in has calavery, better than hippies and worse the hertoi or better

Not as good as Hetairoi. Shock cavalry with a better chance in melee because of the shield, but their armor isn't as good. Also, because they use the lonche instead of the xyston their charge isn't as powerful.

Damn hippies
Get a job

They are medium cavalry, in any case

[hoom]

I'm really looking forward to using them :)
The Hippeis in game currently are really too light & Hetairoi really too expensive for my liking & Lonchophoroi look like a very happy medium (sorry for pun).

- Make love not (Rome Total) War
- No, officer, I want this hemp for the exclusive purpose of building a "better quilted cuirass" (TM)
- What cha mean, "remove this headband"? IndoGreeks, Seleukides and Pahlavan royalty wore this!!!!



Yes, they are medium cav, and please excuse my vain attempt at a Stand up comedian carrier

Who can recruit this unit? I dont think I've ever seen them...

[keravnos]

you will when we release the next version. Lonchophoroi hippeis will be VERY popular once the next version is out.

[Tellos Athenaios]

You will when you check out the "ALL previews in one thread" thread, and follow the link to the May Preview.

[Zarax]

Will GCS get them too?

[Tellos Athenaios]

If you mean the Koinon, IIRC yes.

[Andronikos]

If I remember it good, there are two versions of seleucid lonchophoroi. Which is the correct one?

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Hm... I don't really think that these "newcomers" can replace my precious prodromoi. Just have too much good memories about them... And there is no other unit in my battleplans which can be replaced by this one. Infantry unit number will stay the same, has been succesfull many times, and my kataphraktoi and Hetairoi will stay. Well, sucks to be one of my seleucid lonchoporoi

[keravnos]

Oh, you will recruit them alright... A time will come when you will need them.

Not to mention that the Seleukid version has the most wicked shield ever.
