Re: Peltast
Right now we already have some hellenic archer, so I'd rather add peltast as classic skirmisher.
It doesn't even really need melee attack.
Making it anti-mounted is unnecessary and not really historical.

Re: Peltast
Peltast being a skirmisher? I'm fine with that.
The reason why i made the first stats anti-mounted is because in AoS, Egyptian Peltast a map editor unit, has anti-mounted bonuses. And didn't research fully on what peltasts are before, so i kinda copied the idea of stats from that unit.

Re: Peltast
Ok, and i got that motivation.
Here's the image. Can anyone make the stats? I have no idea how this unit will be unique from other existing skirmishers.

Re: Peltast
what about double action? i wanted it to be hybrid so it could be a mix of guerrilla and skimisher...this way it is unique, but maybe there is a better unit for that kind of role...
Re: Peltast
I already suggested a skirmisher with double action before. Celtic Skirmisher.

Re: Peltast
its good how it is...one action helenic skirmisher...maybe a special trasit could be range? 4 range instead of normal 3...(sounds op i know...)
Re: Peltast
I guess more range than average skirmishers sounds good.
It isn't op though. Atl-atl Thrower, a primitive skirmisher has more range than 4 at base.

Re: Peltast

Re: Peltast
Atl-atl? It costs 3 turns and is trained on Archery range and Primitive Huts.

Re: Peltast

Re: Peltast
So a hybrid with archer ?
It's gonna have some disadvantages in that case.

Re: Peltast

just a normal skirmisher with
hp 7
attack 5
range 3
armour 0/3
speed 4
sight 5
but with an upgrade: iphicrates' peltast:
hp 10
attack 6
range 3
armour 1/5
speed 4
sight 5
just a normal skirmisher with
hp 7

armour 0/3

sight 5
but with an upgrade: iphicrates' peltast:
hp 10

range 3
armour 1/5
speed 4

Re: Peltast
Is this better than the basic 2 turn skirmisher with 3 upgrades?

Re: Peltast
well, master skirmisher (2nd tier):
hp 10
attack 5
range 4
armour 0/6
peltast would have same attack and hp, 1 less range, and +1/-1 armour, i think its balanced...
