You can clearly see that there has been a huge amount of work put into this Mod, and its simply great. Everything looks so authentic, and it somehow makes a better job at presenting an ancient world than Rome II does, with its neat graphics.

However I wish I could give it 10/10, but the battle gameplay just does not work for me at all.
80 percent of the units are "skirmishers", not in the actual sense, but they all have javelins to throw, and quite a few of those. As I cant put my units on melee mode in Medieval II, like in the newer Total Wars, my warriors just stand there for 15 minutes throwing javelins, while getting javelins in their face.

This was actually done in ancient times, however the problem with this is simply that if the enemy charges at one of my units, I cant do anything, but stand there and throw javelins, instead of rear charging the enemy, and thus easily destroying him.

Even the damn cavalry is mostly just throwing their spears at the enemy, not allowing me to use the usually used hammer-anvil tactic.

It`s probably to late to make any suggestion on how to solve that issue, but why not put the units on melee, while they`d throw their javelins on will, so if they stand still or so.
That`d make the battles way better and interesting in my opinion.
