![]() ![]() The reason why I am suggesting getting rid of Keeps is mainly aesthetic.I don't like the look of stylish medieval Mediterranean towers for a militarist civilization like the Romans, Guard Towers look much better. Now to "balance" these requested changes, maybe the Romans could also lose Keeps and Heavy Cavalry Archers. This could be unworkable in the Dark Age but maybe it could be a civ bonus from the Feudal Age on. To demonstrate how expansionist Rome was in its heyday. Why am I suggesting this is added to their tech tree? They are an Infantry based civ but a better justification is when you think not just in terms of a padded linen jacket but rather as the famous Testudo/Tortoise formation that Legionaries could perform making them more resistant to missile fire.įor a gameplay reason why, to make Legionaries longer lived since the Romans are so dependent on them.Īccording to Wikipedia, these were used in latter day armies of the Romans and Byzantines.įor a gameplay reason why, to help them defensively since they don't have Bracer or Heated Shot.Ħ - Roman Outposts could have a weak attack and short range The Romans definitely would have drilled their archer legions/warbands to a higher degree than lesser military focused civilizations.įor a gameplay reason why, yes I like that the Romans have immersively strong Scorpions but I think adding this tech their ranged options a lot more versatility and less of a one trick pony. The fact that Roman archers are equivalent to say Celtic archers is weird to me. ![]() And to my eyes Legionaries are a bit so-so currently so this would make fielding larger groups of them easier.Ģ - Romans should definitely get the Treadmill Crane techĪgain the Romans actually did have this ability in the ancient era (apparently called the Polyspaston according to Wikipedia).įor a gameplay reason why, the +5% build speed bonus is so quickly negated by other civs who do get Treadmill crane.ģ - Romans should get the Thumb Ring tech One of the most distinguishing features of the Roman civilization is that their armies had generally very good supply lines when compared to other strong military powers of the ancient era.įor a gameplay reason why, to counteract the expensiveness of the Centurion. So here are my requests to the developers for their consideration:ġ - Romans should definitely get the Supplies tech And before competitive players start jumping down my throat for suggesting them, yes I am a casual player (campaigns & AI skirmishes forever) and no I don't really care for a balanced roster. Now the following are my personal requested changes to Romans as a civ. I also appreciate that you made a couple AoE 2 style campaigns for the RoR expansion and that even some of the original AoE 1 campaigns are being ported over. Been wishing for that for such a long time. A sincere thank you for finally adding the Romans to the civ roster of AoE 2. ![]()
