I always thought that in CIV IV the roman UU was too weak. As Firaxis try to add a historical flavor to these units according to their historical abilities, I thought that maybe they will fix the roman UU adding maybe the skill of building roads, or an extra movement point. The case is that now in BTS this unit is not something near to what the legions were, it is useless against almost all other units. I will not have any problem with that if thart was what happened in history, but it was the other way, no other army was a macht to the roman legions as long as they were kept "roman" and "legions", the legions that were defeated by the barbarians were as legions as I am a good singer. So I htink any of these ideas will balance BTS for praetorians:
- To give them a special ability such as extra movement, or roadbuilding
or
- Roman UU does not suffer penalty against other melee units
or
- They are given 10 points of strenght (then the cost of building them shoul be pushed up 50 % or 100%)![Deadhorse :deadhorse: :deadhorse:](/images/smilies/deadhorse.gif)
