[PATCH] rome_infantry_spearman created advanced by default

[s0600204]

In the production entities list for rome_army_camp, the rome_infantry_spearman entry is suffixed with _a rather than _b.

What this means is that Roman Spearmen trained at a Army Camp start off as 'advanced', whilst at the barracks it is trained as 'basic'.

Could this be on purpose since triarii were veterans?

No, the the rome_infantry_spearman_b is also a Triarius.

No, the the rome_infantry_spearman_b is also a Triarius.

I know, but it could have been left at basic for early game balance, while the other one got advaced as a bonus/flavor. Just guesses though, no clue if I'm right one this.

The spearman trainable in the barracks is also advanced class. At the civic center no spearman is trainable.

Your explaination makes sense, prodigal_son.

Okay, so this might be intentional.

If it is, then should the file template for the _b variant be deleted (as it is not being used, except as a dependency for the _a variant, which can be altered) or retained (in case of a change in decision at a later date)?

Hello maveric, as you can see in the discussion above, the choice of advanced unit has been done on purpose. You can propose a patch for removing completely the "basic" version but I am not sure we want to do that.

If nobody has another opinion on that I guess we can close this ticket as wontfix.

Thanks for wanting to contribute! Don't hesitate to look into other tickets ;)
