Well, to be truthful in game is only a generic version of unemployed varangian unit.
Those proposed are specific hellenic elite unit - equipped by and loyal to emperor of Byzantium.

Hp 》 35
Att 》15

Either aoe 1 or heal bonus 1.0 would do good.

Re: Varangian guard
Well heavy means not large health pool but a heavy armour. 0/2 is pretty low and att 15 is well woth bonus against light foot. So elite could be medium armoured.

Re: Varangian guard
Yes, Heavy foot melee means heavily armoured. It can be medium foot melee.

Re: Varangian guard
Real armor is represented by both hp pool and armors. In game armor is just stable non-removable reduction of damage. In game armor sometimes represent e.g. great agility in melee or against projectiles, great block or parry ability.
That's why under specific conditions light infantry can have higher armor stat than e.g. medium. In game hp represents overall residence of a unit on battlefield.

Re: Varangian guard
Large axe? I thought a spear would be also good.
Swords should also be an option.
I don't like him having Aoe damage. Maybe single target but a lot of attack?

Re: Varangian guard
that's the point, not the damage, much better to do regular damage to a bunch of units, plus it comes with an excellent bonusQuadrupoleStrat wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 4:29 am Large axe? I thought a spear would be also good.

Re: Varangian guard
Well, the current image of the varangian mercenary looks like a depiction of a byzantine varangian. If someone could find a significantly different image to base this version on, I could try, but I couldn't find a unique image myself.

Just change a detail like the axe or something.
