I can't be 100% certain, either, but my low skill level and high patience make me an interesting guinea pig
And thank you.
According to the Civolopedia the Sagittarri is supposed to have a spear bonus.
The Sag is unfortunately no different from a normal horse archer...Grave changed all horseman/horse archers in rather a hurry for his last upgrade, and missed this unit....nevermind, its extremely easy to give it some small bonus, but with Legions as the main stay, Rome doesn't really need another high powered unit from that time period...
On a personal note (after 3 squillion games of Rome TW), Rome wasn't really noted for its use of horse archers, and I always thought maybe a slightly powered up catapult would be a better choice for a 2nd UU...
Ok here's the UPDATED EVENTS in a self-extracting file format, to make it foolproof
Updated Events for HiTM
The double shift approach seems to have made an improvement.
While I don't recall any other random events or quests affecting me, the baby booms announcements appeared to be firing properly to nations that concluded wars, me included.
Wow, thanks for that Rusty Edge!![]()
Rusty, I hate to be a pain or anything, but I don't think Egypt was on that list of 2nd UU's.![]()

Egypt's 2 UU is The Nubian Archer---same as a regular archer but +50% city attack (I suppose you'd have to be desperate...), Grave's idea...
...
If not, what do you think of the HitM at this point?
Grand Central Station
Supreme Court
National Broadcasting Corporation
Special Operations Center
Thanks.
It looks ok, haven't downloaded it yet though (although I an older version of it somewhere on my hard drive). I like the 2nd UU's idea, and some of the new units like the Special Forces, and the Siege Tower. One thing I don't like however, is the inclusion of Texas as a Civ. :/
I also like all of the new national wonders:
Think I mentioned this before, but its just too powerful...
For those who don't know, it replaces the basic "Temple", yet because Hatty and Ram are both Spiritual,they build it a double speed, and it provides +1and +1
...which is fine...
Its the 1 free engineer that's too much. Its like having an Ind Park, that doesn't giveAND gives +1
in 2000BC or so
And since both Ram And Hatty in effect build WWonders 50% faster (Hatty from Cultural, Ram through all the +1on all mines/quarries), it just leads to a snowball effect of popping very early Grt Eng, who build wonders which lead to more GRT Eng etc. and more wonders etc.etc.
As Ram in my current game (huge/marathon/emp), I built the AP in 18 turns from scratch in 350AD..18 turns from scratch on marathon with a size 13 city!
So anyone else think that the Mastaba needs an overhaul? My idea was +5%from any and all of Incense/Copper/Silk/Cotton/Gold (to represent Grave Goods) for an up to 25% bonus, making it an early mini-market, even though its extremely unlikely you'd have all of the above...
You just don't need Hatty and Rameses popping Grt Engineers out that early, it just makes an unstoppable snowball..
Any thoughts?
I haven't tried Egypt yet. I drew Rome, and I'd have to agree that they don't need any military assistance. I rolled over 8 or 9 civs and had 2 others self-vassalize in peacetime with legions and later legions upgraded to armsmen.
Maybe what they need are settlers or scouts befreinded by wolves
I started another game and got a named pirate notice sometime between hooked up seafood and sailing. The notice looked great, but nobody was doing anything when it said my shipping was being attacked, although later a galley did destroy my seafood. I decided to use your event installer to overwrite.
I'll try Egypt next game. The AP on 18 turns from scratch with no chops or whips? The quickest build time I can recall seeing it on my menu would be in the 40's unless I had a Golden Age. I thought the Egyptians were excellent wonder builders as they were. It does sound over-powered to me.
