There is also a chance it might be changed before the game is released.

Who says Celt Swordsmen retreat? They may be tweaked so they have extra move but don't get to retreat.Last edited by statusperfect; September 30, 2002, 05:45.Comment

I think that every unit with more than one movement point has the chance to retreat when it attacks a unit with just one movment point...Originally posted by statusperfect

keshiks
if the mongol keshik is gonna be 4-2-2 and cost only 30 gold per unit its gonna be a brutal attack weapon. With the shear number that could be built and the unfortunate scenario were your civ is located next to theirs, your infrastructure could really work against you. I wonder if the Mongol AI will be predisposed to not being very good with its own production and improvements. That might hold them back somewhat, but in the hands of a good military-minded human opponent, it would be devastatingly effective."The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -- Abraham Lincoln

Just read a preview of PTW in new issue of CGW. Apparently the mongol unit "keshik" is gonna be a mounted archer and replace the longbowman unit.
Interesting.Comment

Also in the article all of those units that can't be upgraded..like swordsmen and such will all be able to be upgraded/modernized to "guerilla units" for ongoing utility. Thought that was kinda neat.Comment

wow, so they will have two mounted unit in middle age... that will defintely make them a favorite for mass invader style play.
also, Im glad to hear they will be tweaking existing units... most of units were alright, and i dont feel spearmen needs tweaking (most ppl here seems to want it) but MUSKETMEN defintely need one. stupid thing has one offense and one defense more than a pikemen and it cost twice as much and you rarely use it to attack anything anyway... Wat a garbage unit.:-pComment

I would have preferred ultra cheap knight idea... it would have been interesting to see uber unit that is weaker than normal but not only blances it, but retains the reputation of uber unit by other means, but I guess this way you have both reg. knight and keshik.... too bad emoticon can't create a grin that reflect the size that I am having right now...
Btw, doesnt PTW uber unit seem as far superior than regular civ uber units? well if they are tweaking existing units, hopefully that issue is being addressed....:-pComment

LongSwordMan? What's that? Do you mean the already existing SwordsMan or is it a new unit in Civ III: PTW?Originally posted by GePap
a 4-2-2 unit sounds more like an upgraded Longswordmen (planned 4-2-1) than a knight replacement. The cost cutting would have to be great to make up for the loss of 1 defensive point.
The Celtic unit sounds lilek a powerhouse. 3-2-2 unit with ironworking? A far more powerful unit than any other swordman replacement (get to retreat unlike immortal)Yours,
