I've posted a round 3 challenge for Richard as well, pw snuggles

SnuggleBunnies (Joseon) defeats GentlemanRanker (Japanese) 48-16 Korean horse archers harassed the Japanese until they left defensive positions. As their line grew ragged in the advance, the Korean infantry, which had been sheltering in the woods, emerged to support the cavalry. Casualties, particul...

4) Samnite. Is it wrong for them to be good? The Samnites were the early Republic's toughest opponent. Sure, the Romans won - but you could make a strong argument that this was only due to the sheer numbers that a more urbanized society could bring to bear against a numerically smaller, largely pas...

I think Medium Foot armies are slightly too strong, but I think the problem can be overstated. Personally, rather than alter the mechanics of disorder, or map generation, I think a (small) cost change would do the trick. Either experimenting with boosting unit costs across the board, or making Mediu...

This looks like a good solution, similar to what was done successfully with Raw Shieldwalls. The Brythonic Foot remain, but both times I faced them in the last DL season as Byzantines I came out on top, so I don't know if I feel that they necessarily need to change. One thing at a time, I suppose. I...

Part of that win % difference though is the additional 50POA the Brythonic foot get as Swordsmen once the spears are disordered though, to be fair. Hoplites vs Thureophoroi would be a more informative measure.

33 is a lot. I prefer the 30pts as originally proposed, but hopefully either way it gets some testing before getting patched in.

Division 1 SnuggleBunnies (Roman) defeats Nosy_Rat (Syracusan) 53-24 A gentlemanly match. The map was divided by a large stream. The Romans backed away to make room for the Greeks to cross. The Greeks accepted the invitation, and the battle was largely fought in the open. As usual, a far closer matc...

Keep in mind though, there are Impact abilities that only trigger when your unit is charged. For example, Attached Light Guns give +50POA when charged, but not when charging.

I would be in support of testing out Lightly Protected and 50% Swords.

Loose warbands get the additional -1 for losing in the open, which close order don't. So there is a difference.

Necroing this. What if, assuming the space behind a light unit is occupied: 1) If the light unit charges an enemy and loses Impact, it Falls Back in place. 2) However, a light unit that is charged or caught after evading cannot Fall back in place. 3) Light units in Melee cannot Fall Back in place. T...

These mostly sound good. I would be interested in trying out keeping the catas sword in melee vs disrupted pikes. After all, since Pikes are cheaper, we want them to have weaknesses - and having their primary weakness being vulnerability when unsteady seems appropriate. Of course, it could be going ...

Greek Warfare: Myths and Realities by Hans van Wees. I don't necessarily agree with every conclusion he comes to, but it's a refreshing look at the topic.

And of course you can't go wrong with Thucydides.

... A cataphract for example has a Raw spear behind it and a LF in front of it and it is not allowed to charge the LF but has to turn to face the Spear. Why? Please someone please answer the question. Why? Also why should a unit have to charge a unit adjacent to its facing when there is a suitable ...

This should go away once you start a new game. It's happened before with patches.

One difficulty to allowing the cataphracts to ignore the ZoC of the Bowmen to their right is flank covering. If the Bowmen with their rear facing towards the catas were already engaged in melee, a rear charge would be automatic cohesion drop. This would also be the case for a flank charge; a common ...
