"Being impolite will cost you, manners are always free" - Something I was told when I was 5 years old. Good rule I reckon.

The son of a gun in the first post wasn't taught this. But he's a heck of a bowler.

@Lazy: Listen you bum, you're using the same forum software I am. Click on the film roll which has the hover text "Insert Video". It's to the right of the text colour and hyperlink buttons on the toolbar. Got it? Good.

We're using a mod that balances MP. KH is actually really really really powerful.

Well the impression mainly was due to Kretans getting in a melee with TABs and Xystophoroi getting bogged down by spearmen. Tho the lack of Phalangitai in the AS lines should have hinted it^^

The mod also boosts Reformed hoplites or does it not?

Its a very big list of changes. I suggest you come online and find out ;)

The KH had much better main line troops in this battle and cretans do not rout so easyily, espacially not in lose formation. I also had a hill advantage in this battle and won the archer fight and brought one archer in his back up in the hill (It cannot be seen in the video). What the EDU-mod does is improving secondary weapon of cavalry that's why the hellenic heavy skirmisher cavalry had a chance to stop the cataphraktoi. Reformed hoplites (you're speaking about thorakitai hoplitai?) had only very minor changes:

- Reduction of both attacks -1 (I think that was done for all unit's which are packed together with few spacing)
- an additional point in defense skill (see above)
- increase lethality of kopis from 0.11->0.135 (this was a general change for all kopis)
- they got a small cost reduction: 1902 -> 1807 (that was part of a general cost reduction of hoplitai units)

I'm not exactly sure, what you mean by "Xystophoroi getting bogged down by spearmen".
