Wall Combat

Well, I have decided that the quote is indeed worthy of a place in my signature. However, there is not enough place to stick anything else in my sig...


And I would hate for Churchill to go...

Could you not stick it to the right of your "Balloon Count: 20"?

Not if I wrap quote tags over it. That would make it at least two lines.

don't place units on the wall if you have hoplites. Its a waste of time. Those Hypastai are much better use in the street, house to house across the street blocking the way. Nothing will get through.


well actually i'm not entirely sure about that. I'm used to putting Spartans there... and well your hypastai havent performed as well as I thought they should.

actually, hoplite type (without phalanx mod, or any mod that take their +4 attack value) is the most effective troops to be used on stone wall (not large), as my current KH campaign against Romani.... they could take down even pedites extraordinarii out of the city wall...

but most of them die falling... in large wall, they're not as effeective

Well, all "light-spear" designated units have that undeserved +4 attack, and so it would be better to pass judgment with the correct balances.

allready try that (-4 attack) mod, but the result is they only hold the enemy, and made them significantly weaker..... for countering phalanx (even the phalanx unit also get the -4, they have the reach advantage). And even epilektoi hoplitai suffer greatly against enemy cataphracts and hetairoi (they just merely hold them, not kill)

So I revert back to original EDU, maybe they had a larger attack value... but this was not overpowered in my point.... the light_spear have -4 defence against infantry... right? so they should have "+4 attack" for the sake of balance
