Re: Zero Hitpoints?
I appreciate it. I do understand that chariots aren't supposed to be able to simply run rampant across the battlefield, but it seems like they should be able to stand up a bit longer than they do. After all, missile cavalry uses javelins (and occasionally shock and fear of being charged in the flank) as well, and even they hold up longer.Originally Posted by Moros

Re: Zero Hitpoints?
Please do not confuse Celtic chariots with Seleucid and Pontic ones. Celtic chariots were use for transport and skirmishing. Seleucid and Pontic ones were used for shock. Ones were fragile and light, the others strong and heavy. Totally different roles.
Re: Zero Hitpoints?
I've been wondering... given that IRL the Celtic chariot was really more of a "battle taxi" for a senior warrior, and the crews wear about Bataroas-level war gear, wouldn't it more or less work to simply give the unit secondary defense stats more or less identical to the primaries, to represent the fighting crewman fending off enemies ? Granted that doesn't really account for the way the horses are sorta exposed save for there not being a shield value in the secondary line, but since you kinda need to abstract anyway...

Re: Zero Hitpoints?
The celtic chariot indeed was used mostly as a taxi. However I think this wouldmake things a bit to abstract. And we'd getting multiple threads of fans stating that chariots are overpowered, every week.I've been wondering... given that IRL the Celtic chariot was really more of a "battle taxi" for a senior warrior, and the crews wear about Bataroas-level war gear, wouldn't it more or less work to simply give the unit secondary defense stats more or less identical to the primaries, to represent the fighting crewman fending off enemies ?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...?
A fair point certainly. Still, that approach would sort of make sense to me... Ah well, modding time I guess.

Re: Zero Hitpoints?
Just noticed the question, and as I'm not sure if it was awnsered here it is:
0 HP = 1 HP. So that isn't a real error as it doesn't matter anyways.
