historical is the counter But also making sure that you dont let them mass Cataphracts

well we also slowed infantry down a little too, just not quite as much as cav, closed the gap slighlty since it does say "walk"speed Plus again if you think of it in historical context and you have an army marching to a pitched battle location, they all march together same speed. Now in some cases they would send the cavalry off to run in front, scout, distrupt etc. but otherwise it makes no sense for the cavalry to get to the battle first if your gonna fight with Heavy Infantry and then use the cavalry on the flanks and to attack heavy infantry from behind.

becasue the walk speed comparrison of cav to infantry is not very realistic But then again how run is used in game is not exactly realistic either, but that is where cav have a much better advantage over infantry.

too bad ur afraid to explore historical, they have slight speed nerf there

Ive been in favor of changing the rating system for a while, although not sure how... I liked SC2s system for the most part, although still a smurf problem with it.

Many of its warriors still used bronze weapons, some perhaps imported from Egypt, and although swords appear in Meroitic art none have yet been found. Spears and bows were the preferred weapons, while Meroe’s archers used leather quivers, plus iron- and even stone-tipped arrows of wood or cane, often poisoned. There is A LOT Of great infomration out there if you are willing to read through it and find the most accurate ones. Thats one reason we lean on @Genava55 and @Thorfinn the Shallow Minded for our articles and ideas with Historical.

Isnt the pop bonus based off historical information regarding the size of empires...... (Rome should have one but would be too OP) Maury spam eles, OP swordsman as well. But then again im mostly thinking about historical and how every civ is somewhat OP but there are still a few that need work or are too OP

https://github.com/Emacz2/Historical-patch its a mod that some regualr players and myself have been working on for a long time to trying to represent civs as more historically accurate and unique.

pretty sure it game from this very extensive post on the forums, its where we got most of our kush info. But I'll have to double check and see if it came from somewhere else.

they have champ infantry spearman....

We have more units in historical that swtich back and fourth. Lead bullet/stone slingers Theracaian Peltasts

what do you mean? like why did we add it? or how do we use it with kush?

Historical reduces their pierce dmg, but gives them poison dmg which bypasses resistances

making that change on historical, its intersting idea, and i like it!

would it still be the same lobby? Lobby looks pretty dead right now almost like some people are on 27.0, others 27.1

haven't given them the Numidian cav yet, but the Cretan Archers and Balearic Slingers are there, along with Samite spearman and skirmishers.

They do in historical Historical we try and make the civs even more accurate, but of course needed to rework balance a little.

isn't that champs? Athenian spearman can promote to champs... in historical several CS can promote up to champs.

aret champs the upper class

Aren't they already slower? or did htey not do that in vanilla? They are slower in historical Interesting idea of % of total health of enemy, although Im not sure if that is easy to write into the template.

What would their swordsmen be called/used for? For example from what I have read so far on sparta, doesnt really sound like Helots, Periokoi ever had swords. Would just be spartiates as a secondary weapon. Which could be done... but since their spear attack is so strong, doesnt really seem needed.

Thanks for the love @Arup Just need more people to play so we can find all the errors i made and fix em

Yep, I already do both im just encouraging others to do the same

how do we know he is fit? he spends so much time at his computer making fun of others but yes, well said in general. Healthy white straight men are rarely picked on, made fun of. Sometimes I feel guilty to be in that category as all my friends are being attacked and I'm not just because i was born "lucky." @MarcusAureliu#s I'm in support of a game mis conduct code. And if people repeatedly break it, just don't allow them to play in your games, don't join their hosted games.

believe it or not, what one person may think is funny, the majority of people may not....
