- Carthage City will now provide 2 extra shipbuilding slots to owner.
- Heavy Javelins (thrown before charge by heavy infantry) now stagger enemy they hit causing disruption in their ranks
- Heavy Javelins now reduce shield defense value to 50%
- Light Javelins have their effect reduced to 80% and do not cause stagger (they were usually 0.2-0.4kg heavy, while Pilum was around 1-1.5kg)(edited)

- Heavy Javelin effects on target clear up after 5 seconds, Light Javelin effects clear up after 15 seconds (same as arrows and slingshots) Heavy Javelins are supposed to deal shock right before contact, while light javelins were used for skirmishing therefore have different effect length on target comparable with other skirmisher weapons.
