This is yet another patch to differentiate athen civilization. I find it interesting to have at least something special for a unit of each civilization. The purpose of the patch is to make the Athenian hoplite a fourth level, becoming a champion. Idea started by @Nescio https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3688 With D3688 it can be a great. The idea is the same, making hoplites more used. Test with D3688 if is possible get rank 4 with a considerable number of hoplites in real batles.

Was it? It's not in the linked forum post. Comment Actions This would mean that the hoplites can become champions before phase 2 right? What about it being a technology in the Gymnasium? Comment Actions Thanks for the feedback. Comment Actions Honestly, while Athenian hoplites weren't bad soldiers (probably pretty decent for their time), they didn't fare very well when matched against other Greek hoplites from Thebes or Sparta. I'd rather this "Fourth Rank" idea go to the Roman Swordsman. The fourth rank being either the Extraordinarius, or (much cooler) a new Republican Centurion unit. Comment Actions In fact, I did not take into account the historical effectiveness of the athenians hoplites, my goal is just that this unit is used more often, giving the game real historical realism for civ. Yes, it can be used for Romans too. Centurion is something to implement in my mod. He was a champion who could up rank, it's interesting. Comment Actions It looks like @wowgetoffyourcellphone made a valid point earlier? |
