AoEI Exclusive: Ancient Units Add-on


You may remember Cerebus13 and his modpack? Well with the absence of updates for almost a year, many will think it's gone dead. But it has actually been going strong for a while now and Cerberus has just finished models for the new array of units. Cerberus has provided us with a new screen of his mods in action, which you can see here. Today as an AoEI exclusive, these units will be explained. You will notice the large elephants from the screenshot, these are unique siege units which are able to shoot arrows from a distance and ram it's head in melee attacks. Hannibal is also seen in front of the ranged elephants. He sports a powerful demoralizing attack which causes triple damage. Hannibal is one of the many heroes included in the mod along with such others like Leonidas. You might recognize the pike-wielding units in the back. Those are Carthagian phalagnites. Though not as sturdy as the Greek phalanx, the phalagnite is faster and due to it's long sarissa pike, it is possible for multiple rows to engage the enemy at once. Notice the shields show the famed "Crescent moon" which was the symbol of the Carthagians back then. The celtic warrior is also shown here, which is another wonderful addition to the pack. Hopefully now you are back on the edge of your seat awaiting this mod, you can expect the mod to be out in the near future.
