Title: Skirmisher costs
Post by: accard on November 20, 2019, 04:05:27 PM
Hi,

I seem to be getting some unusual points costs in the new army builder.
Cav Skirmisher Average Unprotected Skilled Jav Combat Shy 49 pts
Same but Experienced Jav Cantabrian Combat Shy 50 pts.
So fair bit cheaper than previously.

Is this the correct cost?

regards Andrew

Skirmisher javelin cost has come down - this is deliberate.

Mind you, the ones you've quoted look odd in that Skilled has to be better than Experienced + Cantabrian.

Ok - but skilled cheaper than cantabrian (Even though only slightly) seems odd. Good for my Numidians though.

Foot skirmishers with Jav seem slightly more expensive than previously though - Combat shy ones up from 28 to 30 points - also deliberate?

regards Andrew

There re few issues with Cantabrian that can't be solved at the edges without developing the structure of he army builder.  So at the edges it s a bit imprecise. Always has been the case.  Nothing new. And all skirmishers up a bit in balancing missile weapons as we realised- duh- that they tend to shoot a lot more than loose foot with those weapons.

No worries - just wanted to make sure the army builder was working as it should before I Spend hours playing with it!

It is. 

Next year I might do a full rebuild and fix the two oddities.

It's because we have skilled as a multiplier and cantab and African as pluses.
So I would need to reshape it.  But it works fine for bows which is the main one.
Goes a bit off with jay at the edges.
