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.

You're fast

yeah my mistake, I didn't what you guys were saying the first time

Yes but without more factions , the shear amount of greek heroes would these factions a very tangible edge over everyone else.

The problem with heroes is that if you want to add a lot of them, you need to add more factions and then you would get a civ roster that is like 60 % greek

Oh mercenary heroes would be tight. What happened to Pyrrhus? His helmet is in the editor...

I think Iphicrates is nice, who would you include? Solon? Xnophon, who is already in the editor at least. As for poor Cleo's place, we already got the two ptolemies, so perhaps a prominent general or admiral in the ptolemaic army. Btw how hard is it to make an actor?

True but their spearman can handle them just fine no? Expecially if Agoge is researched.

I think I have never seen these in game:

He is responsible for a small contingent of them if im not mistaken. The question is if that would be any favor to the spartans, what would it add strat wise?

I don't know what u are talking about, he looks pissed, as all spartans should be. Anyway a more pressing matter would be why is he in the game? From what little I know he did little but get beaten by Antipater.
