Melee crew Triremes, All factions (Updated)
***Now this mod is also present in my other mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=205091263&searchtext=
So now you can have melee triremes and harpax at the same time, also later on ill expand that mod focusing in realism and naval warfare. I recommend unistalling this one and downloading the other one :D***
Before the first Punic War triremes were one of the most common ships in the known world, even when Rome became an Empire, triremes were the most common ship used in their navy.
The vanilla Rome 2 only has missile triremes, which are rarely usefull and very ahistorical (romans normally boarded enemy ships engaging in melee). So I decided to create my first mod, which replaces the vanilla crew members of triremes (before leves) with hastati soldiers.
To create this unit you will requiere the same building as to create missile triremes (the name of the unit is unchanged, but its unit card is represented as an hastati in a trireme)
This mod should be compatible with any other mods which doesnt change this unit type. Im waiting for your feedback! 🙂 Enjoy!
Works on custom battles and on campaign.

-Added new crews also to triremes with scorpios.
