We also take the opportunity to update with the latest changes. Heavy Hoplites can deal a lot of damage if used aggressively, charge and counter-charge should be their viable tactics now.ĭue to issues with Steam Workshop we have to reupload the mod again. Overall, this mechanics makes spearmen quite dangerous unit if used right. If you charge the enemy you will see casualties happen much faster at initial contact than before, which is the result of such impact. First strike damage is used to simulate this additional damage together with increased charge value every spearmen got. Yet, such initial impact would be quite more effective than what you can achieve from constant thrusting. Another problem is fragility of spear, wooden part might not survive such impact, especially if spear shaft was damaged somehow in previous fight. Of course, laws of physics say, that every action has same opposite reaction, so spear would only deliver 300joules, if spearmen grip could sustain 300 joules energy pushing against it. His impact energy which spear delivers would get up to 300 joules!! or 6x more than with simple thrust. Now, if spearmen/Hoplite fixes his spear for the charge, his weight and speed will add to the formula - let say his weight is 100kg (weight of men +armor) and he charges enemy at light run 2.5m/s. Heavy spear like Dory was around 1.35kg heavy, therefore it could cause around 46 joules at impact. Such initial attack could achieve high penetration - for example, standard measured thrust with spear (underarm) can achieve around 8.3m/s. In reality, spearmen fixed the spear under their armpit, and charge the enemy with spear tranfering the momentum of their body into spear point. Sorry for late reply - regarding spear momentum and first strike: Could you clarify what "added first strike to spears simulating momentum for the first strike." Does the "first strike" add charge damage or is it just animation or something completely different? I loved RTR for Rome 1, hell I still listen to the intro screen music of RTR VII to this day. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.844 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.
