Praetorian guard elite
Updated for Emperor Edition.
Every time I come back to this game I dislike something new so I add up adding something new. Now that CA gave all units pila I found that to be a bit ridiculous.
I added some changes to the heavy pilum. Units using these can now throw both pila before a charging enemy reaches them. Or throw one from a far and keep one for a charge. EDIT: These are now in a seperate mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=738682805
In addition I changed my screen shield mod to a pike wall mod. This ability makes the romans hold a perfect tight wall. When walking they move in wall formation. When running they run with shields up. Works much better than shield wall 🙂
I think I might bring out a projectile mod making roman pila better in use as mentioned and downgrading some barbarian units for example to only carrying one and with less punch.
This mod improves on the standard Praetorian Guard skin.
I did not like the standard praetorian guard in Rome II so I decided to model it to my likings.
It is skinned more towards Rome I and hollywood style units.
Added greaves, a new shield, changed colors (cloaks, crests) and helmet designs and tweaked the stats a bit.
Note:
I also added a shieldscreen ability to regain some roman tactics. This is not included in this mod.
I uploaded a mod that adds it to all late roman legionaries and cohorts HERE
This mod is very easy to edit with packfile manager. Simply delete or add a row of your units of choice or add the table to this mod and keep the praetorian guard row only!
