RCW Editor Oddities - TheGrayMouser - 08-29-2013

Hello, sorry to keep clogging up this forum with this stuff but:

Noticed in Rome CW's various official scenarios have units in them that are impossible to duplicate in the editor:

Getting _Started
the Republican army has HI w 8-12 foot spears and use the Triarri graphic (the comments states this is a pre-marian army)
impossible to create in editor

Uzitta_46BC
Republican army has LHI w light spear and javelins
again , impossible to make these units in the editor(only heavy spear or sword/axe are allowed)
they also use the alternative legion graphic, which is nice to have as a visual distinction from HI and LHI in 3d mode)

Really would like to see LHI w light spear and javelins being allowed as these seem to be more in line with my understanding how the Auxilia would have been armed during this period vs using pila.

Really enjoying these titles BTW, cheers!

This is possible. We will add in to the next update on RCW the option for LHI to have light spears and javelins. Plus HI with long spear.


RE: RCW Editor Oddities - TheGrayMouser - 09-01-2013

Great news!
Although outside the official scope of the game was thinking to create an Adrianople scenario and light spears and 8-12 spears for the Romans would be usefull. (feel free to give a hint if a late Roman AW title will be coming out to cover this any time soon! :) )

There are a number of opportunities we are looking at so at this stage we would rather not comment on the next game. :)

I know HPS never gives away clues but some day one of you guys will crack under the persistent questioning. :)

Dammit, now I want to know what's next.
