Well...yeah, I guess.
But for some of them, it is fine. Buildings, and upgrades are fine...or too high...but I guess equal because of huge HP...
Also, for the turtle formation...don't make it even higher...  :|

What else were we talking about, the cost right?  :|
Only thing else could be its stats, which is high enough too...

Very nice mod! One of the mod i play more often! 2 suggestions that in my opinion would improve the mod:

1) remake the Gladiator School to transform it in the Colosseo (aka Colosseum in english) pics and info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colosseum

2) make a unit driving a biga (a picture here: http://digilander.libero.it/agenziagiornalisti/images/BIGA%20ROMANA.jpg )

Even if this is not an "historical at 100% mod" i think these two things would be awesome in this mod :)

Greetings :)
I translated Megaglest in italian and i keep the translation updated.

You mean like a chariot? I don't know, there are already lots of units in this mod.

Yes a chariot (in italian is called biga). About the colosseum i think should be present because it's one of main (if not "the") symbol of Rome and of the Roman Emperor and since there is already a building with gladiators (that btw has almost the shape of the colosseum) i think it would be "simple" to transform it without making a new building but of course it's my opinion :)

Really fun. Although now I think there shouldn't be an eagle...
Also Ballistas should be only anti air, or else it will be too easy against the cpu when turtling...
(click to show/hide)
it's full size because it looks pretty nice...so I think it's worth it...nice models :D
And lastly, I kinda feel that the advanced architecture upgrade shouldn't be with the wartime mechanic...not sure.  :-\
I'll have a video up later, some parts will be laggy as right now I'm playing mg @ a higher resolution...
and then I might upload the original video if it makes a difference

Really fun now! Great job elim and arch!

Hmm what about having a healing unit?

I've not been involved in the development of Fantasy Romans for a long time. My plans for a new more realistic Roman faction, with better graphics are also at a standstill and have been for a long time. I'm with the Constellus Team now.

Thanks!
Don't you think the war mechanic should be more expensive though? Why is it so cheap, it can heal most units and become some really nice ones too...

Hmm...unfortunately I think yes. Would be hard to balance it :/
Also, I don't think we really need a separate topic for just this poll. Shouldn't this just be on the Roman thread?
Now, if it was about balancing the whole faction, that would be different.

Nope. Technician is 150 gold, while the war mechanic costs 80 gold and 20 wood. Should be something like 100 gold and 30 wood, etc. They are actually pretty useful...

To keep on about the longbow, I think the deep reason I am so against it is it robs any future norman/english faction of their definative weapon

I see no need for factions to be too narrowly true and accurate, but longbows and billhooks will be forever medieval english, and that's a faction i'd like to see built
