Hoplite Spears

[Ano2]

This is a transfer of a thread from tw, since it didn't get a team response.

Basically the hoplite spears in 1.0 are far too big. I was wondering if someone could change the model so that the spears are the same size as the German ones.

Cheers, Ano2

I was always under the impression they were around 9 feet long. I don't see any problem with the hoplites in the game.

Maybe I'm wrong.

The armors and helmets of the hoplites in the picture seem anachronistic...?

Post Alexander era armors with Greco-Persian era Corinthian helmets?

Indeed they look to be 12 feet long to me, which is innacurate. They should be 8 to 9 feet long. What you need to do is add the "short_pike" attribute (which gives them 8 to 9 foot spears and makes them fight in a tight hoplite phalanx, as apposed to a messy loose formation). See more info on it in my mod (mods feel free to remove this if you see it as advertising).

Accounting that they favored long lances i assume they are just right. What makes you think their spears are FAR to long?

[Pharnakes]

That's an alexandrian phalanx though.
