The leves are armed with the gaesum, light javelins of Iberian style, a short thrusting spear and a small, but strong round shield. Before the heavy infantry engages trumpeteers signal them to retreat through the gaps in the Roman line and reform in the rear of the formation, or on the wings with the cavalry. In a pitched battle they will screen the legion's main battle line during the advance and harass the enemy. The Leves are the legion's front line skirmishers. These are the heartlands of the Res Publica, filled with our colonies founded during the epic struggles of the past centuries. They can be recruited in the central Italian provinces Latium, Umbria, Etruria, Apulia, Liguria and Campania. Good thing CA apologized for the near-fiasco of a release (some blame Sega for rushing the release date) and have promised to do weekly patches to fix bugs and improve game balance. Being in testudo also increases the surface area of the soldier, making him easier to hit because his shield is raised (shields are a sort of damage modifier to HP instead of acting as a hit or miss affair in the previous games). This game seriously needs a lot of polish, especially when testudo merely improves armor but decreases speed to the point where you end up taking more damage walking slowly over to the enemy instead of just charging in. I ended up declaring war on Carthage earlier than I wanted.

This occurred when I wanted to conquer Lilybaeum, and Carthage's fleet was blockading. Blockades also do not inflict attrition damage on the attacker nor the defender, leading to near-infinite scenarios where an AI just blockades a settlement and 'forgets' about it. I'm not sure if it's a game design or bug that I cannot attack settlements that have been blockaded by fleets of other factions. Legio AVBT has been sent in to investigate for vulnerabilities. No wonder they were so eager to annex it). Perhaps there will be eager pickings for Rome (Historically speaking, Egypt was Rome's breadbasket. Increased Fort Defensiveness bonus from 5% to 20% to counteract the civ defensiveness changes.Looks like the North African coast is in turmoil. Increased Base mercenary size from 2 -> 4Ĭivilisation now reduces defensiveness (ie increases time to capture a territory) Reduced mercenary size scaling to population size from 7.5% to 2.5% Road building + Forced march give morale penalties Training will only take you so far, to become truly elite you will need to actually fight battles Longer sieges - lower maximum % but more breaches are possible New Tactics System - Specialised/Normal/Flexible tactics allow for high risk/reward or low risk/reward options. Winter in the mountains - speed in mountains during winter is significantly slower. Seasonal Supply Modifiers - Provinces wont be able to support as many troops during winter months and summer in the desert will also see supply limits reduced thus resulting in more attrition. Terrain influences combat - Terrain has a larger impact on the outcome of battles on a unit level, lighter units thrive in rougher terrain and heavy ones excel out in the open as one example.

The basis for the historical accuracy for this mod is based on 5 years of great resaerch done by many team members on the Vae Victis mod for Rome 2.Ĭultural unit modifiers - Legionaries and Phalanx do not fight the same Vae Victis adds greater depth, realism and historical accuracy as well as more of a challenge.
