EB 101 (long post)

[vartan]

there is no one to play when i get online on EB so i just go play vanilla.

Follow the red arrows.

What about roman boxes? they have no flanks and cata charges usually cost u more mnai than them. Not to add that few factions have the luxury of fielding 1 elite ranged units compared to the roman 3 ( balearic , cretan , saggitarius) and win the ranged duel.

All i am saying is that roman cohorts should cost more. It doesnt make sanse that most elites cost more than roman regulars and do less . As far as i remember romans were a disciplined highly trained , heavy armed army . That must cost more than a bunch of naked gauls with shields and swords (Milnaht for ex)

I'm all for revisiting the costs of the 500-something units in EB, even though it would take a while. I'm also eager to hear if anyone has yet figured out how to remove the guard-mode feature and to reprogram the engagement and pathfinding AI.

As for the OP, players shouldn't be busy working around the flawed and broken game. They should be busy playing the game. The way it was meant to be played. If A > B, then A should defeat B. Unfortunately, the system doesn't realize this and allows for 2 + 2 = 5.
