Unique Romans and Greeks
Unique Romans and Greeks aims to improve the Romans and the Greeks (And Carthage) and make them more of a force to be reckoned, while still staying balanced!
This mod also aims to improve some units that are never used either because they are not worth the slot in your army or they are overshadowed by other units that you unlock simultaneously with said unit.
Also updates useless buildings.

Good examples
Useless unit: Polybolos, It doesn't do anything but miss and even if it does hit something it doesn't have enough damage to kill it. With this mod Polybolos is devestating against mounted units but they are not going to do much against infantry.
Overshadowed Unit: all types of Legionaries, they are are made redundant with Praetorians and Praetorian guard because the cost difference is so small and the stat difference is enormous.
Even the Principes unit can beat the normal legionary unit since it has the same melee attack but higher melee defence...

List of useless and/or overshadowed units:
Legionaries, veteran legionaries, first cohort, Legionary cohort, Evocati cohort, Eagle cohort, Polybolos, scorpion, Legionary cavalry, Heroes of sparta, Legatus, General and bodyguard, citizen cavalry, Rorarii, Vigiles.

Standardization logic:

(Marian trio) Legionaries - First Cohort - Veteran Legionaries
(Imperial trio) Legionary Cohort - Eagle Cohort - Evocati Cohort - (Armored Legionaries)

Legionaries (The Balanced option):
  • 55 - Melee attack
  • 55 - Melee Defence
  • Use the Whip ability
  • Added formations
  • 110 - Total

Veteran Legionaries (The aggressive option):
  • 60 - Melee attack
  • 50 - Melee Defence
  • Use the Whip ability
  • Added formations
  • 110 - Total

First Cohort (The Defensive option):
  • 50 - Melee attack
  • 60 - Melee Defence
  • Inspire group ability
  • Added formations
  • 110 - Total

guys be careful with this mod guys, it ruined my game by making all the faces look terrible, and destroying the figures. i know this might be a personal cp problem, but whenever i try to not use this mod, it crashes my game! i don't like to leave hate reviews, but this is really annoying....

This mod is awesome. Do you plan to improve the lacklustre vanilla rosters for Colchis and Cimmeria?
Jaki  [author] 11 Sep, 2018 @ 1:18pm 
All factions that utilize the greek units listed
Lysander Of Sparta 9 Sep, 2018 @ 5:37pm 
does this go for only the greek factions listed or knossos as well?
