A lot of civs have bloated rosters

I too am a Delenda Est fanboy, nice to meet you

Perfect for a scythian or sarmatian civ

Less ranged play and more melee action. Give Macedon champions upon reaching phase 3 without the need to research the tech. More hero variety as in, tweak some very good heroes and add new bonuses to weak heroes.

Well I think persians can afford having slightly weaker meatshields because of archer of course but also because they have all cavary types, elephants and rams.

Its the type of stat changed that should be implemented but I think we will never see them since tweaking every single pop count and cost in the game would be a nightmare. I would just make their infantry weaker.

Didn't persians used wicker shields? Those look pretty much worse to an aspis or even a pelta to me.

He is also the lord of horses

No no no, Poseidon = OP ponies

I think this should be and additional upgrade for the p1 tower, either you upgrade to the p2 tower we already have or you upgrade it to the " Mirror Tower", it would have to be more expensive than the normal p2 tower upgrade but enables it to affect siege machines but not regular units. I think a choice like this, between denying area to units vs denying area to siege would be interesting.

Pretty cool!! How did you do it? Is it an aura type thing?

Well I think it wouldn't change the multiplayer scene that much.

I meant in addition to the normal rank have another rank for their most played faction

Reports from testers indicate mercs are not useful enough in A25. Nor will they ever be if citizen soldiers train time drecreases further as mercs can only be cost-effective when both sides have rougly the same ammount of troops and there are few on each side. As for the elephants, their stats could be worse than the normal champion elelphant sure.

Yeah like we could see who is highest rated ptol player for example.

Bad ideas. Makes mercs even more of a liability and gives elephant civs free elephants. Irrelevant as mercs are useless and you almost never capture an enemy CC. Depends on the civ.

Well i got to 1300 by playing macedon and seleucid exclusively and i've got to say macedon just feels like a bootleg seleucid empire.

It's not like we will have an audience so I don't think it will matter.

nice

I'd be down for it

Maybe some civ specific score too

nah man lorica segmentada is ugly as hell

I already told you, its is pre marian rome, so no lorica segmentata.

Technically even the lowly hastati is a legionary.

Because the Rome we have in game is pre Marian reforms. When I think of Rome, scipiones come first to mind, then Sulla and Pompey.
