Budha was black :P

Well, Chinese made a budha that was chinese, indos made a budha with an Indo look and indochinese made each their own budha image as if he was of the same etnic group as the locals. I think I once saw pictures of a budha with afro apearance, but I didnt note it at the moment because the statue itself was actually white, could have been made of ivory now that I think of it.

Wow!!!!!

Black Budha, i wonder what's next.

When I first saw the stats for the Carthaginian UU, I thought it was a beefed up pikeman. A lousy unit, like the musketeer, but it would have been more balanced than as a spearmen. Possibly it was a typo and it is 2/2/1 or 1/2/2? 1/2/2 I like.

That Would be the same stats as the impi and the impi sucks big time.

Well, I dont want a ship UU...

[Martinus Magnificus]

The Carthagininas' UU should definately be a naval unit, since Carthage was mainly a threat to Rome on the med. sea. Or it could be the war elephant, but that's India's UU already.

Agreed! The English ship UU sucks!

I think It should be some type of mercenary unit. One that requires 2 gold for support but is extremely good.

What about a Horseman replacement (Numidean cavalry-esk) with an extra defense point (2-2-2)? I imagine that's it's been brought up before, but it still seems like a logical choice for them.

[Kingof the Apes]

Yes, those stats seem good.


However, the Celtic UU needs to be balanced(same price ass this w/ extra attack point)

What about a horseman with an extra movement?
2-1-3?


But i think that their UU should be the "Sacred band".

Carthage's history goes back a lot before their clash with the Romans.
