What We Have Done:

We have changed the ‘Shield Castle’ for all appropriate axe/sword units (taking into account shield size) to better reflect it for missile defence and also added a ‘Shield Wall’ with effects to better reflect its use against infantry and bracing ability. We also added the 'Axe Fury' ability to Two-Handed axe and Berserker units. We also added 'Stalk' and 'Guerrilla Deployment' to Berserkers, Shield Biters, Wolf Hounds, & War Hounds. Also, for a little bit more variation with units, we have added a small ‘Throwing Axe’ to all 1 handed axe units, taking into account unit tier with regards to ammo usage and accuracy.

We have changed the ‘Spear Castle’ for all appropriate spear units (taking into account shield size) to better reflect it for missile defence and also added a ‘Spear Wall’ with effects to better reflect its use against cavalry and bracing ability.

We have added several abilities for all missile units, these are: 'Loose Formation', 'Refill Ammunition', ‘Precision Fire’, & ‘Rapid Fire’. We have also added ‘Heavy Shot’ to archer & crossbow units, and changed the effects of ‘Flaming Shot’ so as to have more varied and situational uses between ammo types

We have added Rapid Advance to all units except artillery.

We have added Mighty Knockback, Encourage, & Forest Hide to Artillery units. We have also added new shot types for the artillery; ‘Flaming Round’ - which increase reload time but has morale debuffs and fire damage, & ‘Large Rock’ - which has higher damage and increased AP damage, but at the cost of reload time and range. We also added the ‘Rapid Volley’ ability, which reduces range but increases the rate of fire, at the same time it only allows use of the standard artillery round as this seems more realistic, and forces the player and AI to use different shot types a bit more dynamically.

We have changed unit sizes to have better disparity between them:
>160 - 300 (other infantry units)
>100 - 200 (infantry units)
>80 - 135 (missile units)
>60 - 90 (Some Cavalry)
>40 - 60 (some cavalry, war hounds, catapults)
Please Note that Unit Size Changes DO NOT Apply to the players starting armies
