Adeimantos Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) If there were an axeman unit, what civilizations would have it? I think Persians would, Herodotus mentions them in the army that invaded Greece, and anyway they are short on infantry in the game. Who else?

AIEND Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think the current absence of axeman in Persia should be a deliberate nerf, some people may feel that with axeman Persia will be too strong. In fact it was for this reason that the Han Dynasty swordsmen were removed previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player of 0AD Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 It seems like you don't know the game. Persians have axe cavalry, Kushites have axe infantry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeimantos Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Axe infantry would have something like 9 hack 2 crush attack, 4 hack 2 pierce armor. They'd be good against swordmen (foot and horse) and siege. Kush has macemen, with only crush damage, so they aren't good against units. It makes sense to me for persia to have axe infantry and cavalry both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
