Sacred Band better or worse than romans

[johne1000]

Acording to spider_posion's unifocial ranking the sacred band get a B and the Romans get an A my opinion is the romans movements are more predicable.[/img]

Spider_poison's unofficial rankings are just that- unofficial. Play with what you like best. He likes the Romans better because they have more bonding options and fewer drafting restrictions. Both the Sacred Band and the Romans all but require Marcus to be effective, and if you get Parmenio too, you don't have that much room left over for other units. Also, if you do get Parmenio and want to use his ability, the Sacred Band lose the flexibility that was once their strong point over the romans.

Which is why I say...
Everybody now...
'Sacred Band Base Move +1'

And, as someone else suggested, Parmenio's effect to be an aura.
For all the reasons you've addressed.

It's almost as if this thread were created just for me, as if people weren't sick enough of me suggesting it.

It's my own feeling that waves 8 and 8.5 will lessen the disparity between the two units. The redcoats will make ... wait a minute, guido is right. I'm almost positive that this is a discussion just made for the books of heroscape, and I've said this before.
