Re: No Venetic?

Yes, it seems the Veneti is missing from the list. However, it's also hard for me to find a book or two talking about the Venti, let alone their military culture.

Re: Raw Limitanei theory may be out-of-date

If the game can show the deteriorating trend from Contantine to Justinian, it will be great. Say from Constantine to Honorius, average, from Honorius to Valentinian III, below average, then to the time of Justinian, raw. Well, if the unit slots is not enough, so be it.

Raw Limitanei theory may be out-of-date

I've read several sources stating that the limitanei is not farmer soldiers but standing army which is just not mobile. The example given is that the limitaei's performance in Amida siege in AD 359. The Sassanid army captured the city with great loss. I think limitanei's quality can be boosted to av...

Re: Add a proportion of armoured horse archers to the Roman 379-424 AD list?

However, in the next chapter, "Distributio Numerorum", it just lists as "Equites clibanarii" below "Intra Africam cum uiro spectabili comite Africae". But other units' sagitarii are not omitted. One theory of course could be the scriptor missed the word. Or perhaps it's...

Re: Better Cannae?

Lol. That's because the game player plays like a God, who can coordinate all the action from the far left to the right with crispy clear order. It's sad that Roman generals don't have such advantage, especially with a very large army. This can only be improved if the command link and command latency...

Zealots name not proper in Jewish list 167 BCE -111 BCE

I suggest it change the unit "Zealots" as it is a specific name for the political group in the 1st century CE and it is certain that they did not exist during the Seleucid rule. We can change the name to "Maccabees". Otherwise it is hard to explain why "Zealots" disappe...

Re: Mongol invasion reenactment

As the Mongols are unable to break the resistance of Rus States, they are forced to retreat back to the east. The first stage of the invasion ends. :)

Re: Mongol invasion reenactment

The Mongol invasion army led by wzfcns and Karvon has mixed result. One Tumen led by wzfcns aiming at Rus states was defeated miserably. Rus states enjoyed their success and peace for a while. However, the other Tumen led by Karvon utterly destroyed Volga Bulgars' resistence and secured the Mongol's...

Re: I think that knights advantage in melee should be removed or lessened

One thing that I don't understand is that why giving knights 150 POA in melee vs cavalry. We know that knights only have normal 100 POA in melee vs foot. If they have advantage in melee against lancers, it may come from their quality and armor. Why not just spread this 50 POA advantage to their qua...

How many Mongol factions: three? What happens if a non-Mongol faction wins against a Mongol one? There's no limitation on how many. Actually, I welcome more players to play Mongol. If non-Mongol faction wins against Mongol, the Mongol invasion army is destroyed. So I welcome more Mongol players to ...

Re: Mongol and shooting !

On the contrary, Mongols is not competitive in my opinion. As long as the terrain is not open enough and the opponent has enough shooting units, the Mongols are doomed. If anyone is interested, I can host a history reenaction of Mongol invasion. We can check whether the Mongol army is overpowered or...
