obviously. but 1 moniez is still awesome for rome.
main problem i have with it is the poor balancing, due to the focus on heavily armored, shield carrying troops and the lack of armor piercing missile units. also, a full army of heavy cavalry can break the moral of an entire army literally the second it charges into them, since the moral shock gets exponentially bigger the more troops are killed and the less time passes. so the charges killing about 10% or so of each unit in one second or less makes them all go from confident to shattered instantly^^
or at least it was that way when i played it almost 10 years ago, maybe they actually fixed these balancing issues in later patches.
They're meant to do that

i was talking about rome. cavalry in medieval 2 actually felt kinda meh to be. it has it's uses, but feels rather slow and weak (both the charge and sustained melees) in comparison to the other titles. not sure it that's actually the case, or just how it felt to me, though.

no, shattering the moral of the entire army (aka instant win) at the first charge, or having (the expensive) bow troops kill about 3 out of 80 heavy infantry men before those can charge into melee, is not balancedBut the balance in Rome is actually fine in terms of mechanics the only things that are broken are things like Romans having heavy cavalry in the first place which is more of a historical concern than anything else
unless you're talking about a later patched version that fixed these problems that i haven't played, which might well be.
i don't mind the historical inaccuracy, though, for the most part, especially when it serves a gameplay/balancing purpose.

how is it balanced? i have 10 units against 20, yet i don't lose a single man, even if he has some spear infantry. and i need no tactic whatsoever, simply charge into the front. the battle often lasts less than one second after the first units meet. Originally Posted by Alaitoc
