Hi Eri, I'll check and correct the Rome and Empire list. I have just updated also the Longobard list. The main difference between CM and CP is that the latter...
So in Impetus the different Cavalry units will have a more focalized use on the battlefield. About CP at M8, I've also seen the "Svevi and Bavari" are at M8,...

Hi Marc, from a pure gaming point of view no reason. The choice is just to give the possibility to deploy Balearic mercenaries with an Iberian army. Consider...
Actually, I still have to try a full game, but I also have the impression slings are underrated... in ancient times especially slings were considered as ...
