Well they aren't legionarii and are half naked, them not having javelins to throw seems reasonable. Of course I'd much prefer having actual legionarii instead of these goons to begin with, and give retiarii the ability to throw nets on enemies to slow them down or even root them in place.

Yeah not roman army season just roman gladiator season

Yeah, i wish we would have gotten roman legionarii, such a disappointment becauso of the potential this season could have had…

same here

To be honest are just gladiator troops

@@sebastians2559 hey imaging using the shield to cover but the fact the damage is way worse than imperial shielda

@@Sigma_System yeah but we can't expect to this game being accurate i almost think in return but i will pass this season out as well

I wanted a proper Roman legion unit that could throw javs, and be a good shield unit, sigh.

I assume it will be the next season - where spartacus will go against the Rome... like we had the french :D

@@herlajis That'd be really cool but I wonder if having 2 Gladius+Scutum units, once as legionarii and once as gladiatores, is appealing to the general audience.

I agree we got 2 units this season the could of at least made 4 units

They can have two seasons worth if they do it like this.

@@JammanTV when have we gotten 2 seasons besides the Chinese arc? It’s not happening

Yeah. Turn the T4 idiots into proper legionarii, give them 2 javelins to throw, and change the retiarii javelin to nets they can slow or root enemies with. I'd prefer that.

@@menaceflame even an ability like the gray beards, u could pop every few seconds and they do a shield bash pushing everyone back and then the unit it's self takes a step forward.

@@menaceflame They can charge because they arent Romans, they are gladiators so can do what they like.

Funny thing. When you ask people what comes to mind hearing 'Roman Legion', many will think of the famous testudo. A formation so effective against enemy missiles that people thousands of years later still know of it. And then in CB they are the worst tower shield unit to defend from missiles. Sums this game up so well.

If u maining isg I implore u to stop. This game does not care about heavy shields. This game only cares about creating an op unit to get spending, and then the next season they create another one. They have no idea what balancing is. First cavalry, then reapers, now Vikings. They do not care

shields are good, you haveto understand that when u take shields your main job is to soak dmg and die for your team, and cover them, so, they are very usefull and helpfull in alot of places, take shield of the capital for example on attack when u can rush the walls with heavy shields, setup falcos and artilery and clear the A point very quickly. just expand your tactics and mindset and there are alot of things like that that the game consistently has happen, mainly because they buffed isg's, so id say they care idk man

@@thetrav2100 bro I think u are being delusional about shields. They have no role in this game. If you think hiding in the back and soaking up arrows is helping the team you aren’t thinking right. They don’t defend shit. 1 maul is enough to deal with any shield unit. Every single melee unit with a big weapon can beat them. Fucking peasant charges can knock them down. There is a reason no one brings them. You don’t contribute anything if you can’t be at the front line with shields. Expanding my mindset? By that you mean reducing my options to sitting in the back instead of taking a meta unit and actually killing the enemy.

@@thetrav2100 if u so even think about trying to push with shields, by god you are just giving them kills. Block is a joke, the only defense is CC imunity + rediculous amounts of CC and damage. Just look and beserkers, Varangian, and shields maidens. Shitty def stats on paper. All they do is stun, be immune to cc and swing their shit randomly and that gives success. Shields just melt

They explained in a stream why they didn't do that, because players complain that there is too much cc in the game & if they went with the net it would be more cc on top any other cc we already have & that would make things even worse & players to complain even more.

soudns balanced

Then why use that type of gladiator when they're known for their trident and nets? Seems silly to me that they didn't give us something else instead then

@@MatWol41 exactly. It's like they give no fucks. They planned on making a javlin unit with a net cc. and the audibled during devolpment.... but it was a lazy audible, they could of easily just but armor on this unit, gave it a shield and changed the trident to a sword. bam legionaire. they had swords and javlins.

Yeah thats true, in combination with other stuff they could have a use

Interesting hadn't actually noticed that, I better go give the patchnotes a proper read :)

@@EvoLozGaming which did you decide was best line for the tier 3, top or bottom?

The worst thing about issues like these is that you can never be sure it's not just MyGames' cheap garbage servers that are responsible for this - unless you play on Frontier of course. It's very much possible that the server just doesn't register or process one unit's damage output properly, because I think I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes my units make contact with an enemy unit, I activate the damage ability and completely evaporate the enemy in the blink of an eye. Then in other situations I do exactly the same, but my unit scores no kills at all and gets eaten instead. It's odd how the same action should result in so drastically different outcomes. What I noticed is how often, my units are just not aggro-ing on the enemy that they stand right in front of, and instead turn around to a stray enemy unit or hero passing by resulting in them not using their ability on the enemy. Unit control being very clunky and MyG's servers being very bad just doesn't produce satisfying results in many situations. Back when the game had no fancy abilities, just charges and basic attacking, this was less of an issue. But with most new abilities requiring the unit to acquire their targets on their own (like IR Tiger Step, Condotierri Shock Attack or Sons of Fenrir's Beast attack) you are completely out of control. You can only move close to an enemy, activate their abilities and hope for the best. But if the unit targetting fails you, because unit AI is terrible, you are effectively unable to change anything about the outcome.

With VG, never draw axes first, wait for the enemy to draw axes first, tank the first swing then immediately use 2. That’s how you wiped them. But yeah their dmg is just brokenly high

i dont have any problems like that

exactly so , especially if your machinery ( pc ) ain ´t that new this game is very flawed . Imagine waiting for accessibility like 10 minutes . Not downloading , but loading a map , so : Server Log in , character selection and ´til you are on that map and everything has been rendered and I don ´t know about the technical term , it could even be as bad as 10 min . No problemo . And so yes , I think that ´s always the same question , will there be improvements to make this game a little bit better ( it doesn ´t have to be top notch ) , but no . benchmark title never play on patch day and then this old thing , never go for mmo if the community is somewhat " way too serious "

I dont see it happening, server dsync always have been there, and the cross server matchmaking, im pretty sure, makes it impossible to have a dsync free experience.

until recently reapers were meta

I super agree with this devs are bunch of shitty burst porns

can't wait those new unit in fornt of cavalry charge

Die newb muahahahaha come to papa-veteran to teach you how to die with elegance.

It could well get altered before it gets released, hopefully they increase the attack damage a little

I agree with this I was even disappointed with this. I thought they throw javs too. And also why they put charge as a skill in fact this is not a Roman fighting style!

It could well be that they get a buff before they release but yeah spear guards do seem to be the better unit at the moment

Go cavs, cavs can hold their value pretty well.

Winter is coming...

@@SABER_Knight-King heat pump ez

We’ve been asking this for years yet they give us an new roman shitty units so disappointing

What do you mean only 2 units? There are three.
