1.1.1 Later Seleucid list - error in cavalry limits

Ironclad · Post by **Ironclad** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 12:10 am

The number of Other Horse Archers is being restricted to 2 although no limit is shown on that category. There was no limit previously either - so my saved army is now showing 8 points residue as my 3 units of other horse archers has been reduced to 2 units.

Had another look and what is happening is that the maximum limit of 2 shown for Skythian cavalry is also applying to the other two cavalry categories below it - Skythian light cavalry and other horse archers with the result that the system is only allowing you to have a maximum of 2 units in total from these three categories. Eg if you have 2 other horse archers and click for a skythian light cavalry unit as well - your 2 other horse archers reduce to 1.

The limit is 2. As you move over the LH on the list they all get a yellow border and 0-2 is shown once indicating that the 0-2 applies to a mix of all LH within that boundary. If you have managed to get more than that in 1.1.0 then thats a bug in 1.1.0 that is now fixed. Keith

Thanks. The yellow border makes sense to me now.

I noticed another more serious problem with the Seleucid list. My multiplayer opponent has shown up with six elite companion units. This should not be possible as the limit should be two companions out of six available heavy cav.

I'm going to need it I think. He also brought Parthian allies with four cataphract units.

I don't see a limit of 2 companions, just a maximum six of any variety of the heavies at his disposal and a minimum of 2.

I'm basing that on the TT army lists.

It is a bug and we hope to fix for the next update. Only seems to effect two choices across three lists.

Good news. It won't save me in my battle with Mordio though.

Mordio! MORDIO!

Trust me, I'm going to need my 4 (not 6) Elite Companions and the 2 Superior Catephracts (commanders) and the 4 superior (undrilled) allied Cataphracts to compete against your gazillion pikemen!

Why do you think I'm running so fast.... I dare not face your lines

So wait... let me get this clear...

6 elite companions bad, must be fixed

but

22 elite legionnaries good no fix required.

deeter · Post by **deeter** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:09 pm

It should be 2 companions and IMHO no Romans (elite or otherwise) ever.

Deeter

P.S. Sorry about that Morbio! (the typo that is) Just be afraid of my mob.

Morbio · Post by **Morbio** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:18 pm

I am afraid of your massed levies. Luckily they are well behind your massive line of pikemen and so hopefully won't come into play

We have done our best to follow the format of the TT lists and there you get 44 elite legionaries! It sounds like a lot but in the DAG they are generally too expensive to buy many.

I'm glad for that, but even in 600 pt. games you see a hord of them. (elite Legionaries that is.)

Did this issue get addressed in the latest patch? These armies with maxed out Seleucid heavy cavalry seem seem a bit too much.

deeter · Post by **deeter** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 6:33 pm

It has. You can still take six heavy cav unit but only two elite companions.
