Hmmm. Well, since I seem to have the only serious idea of a patch, let's keep this one going.
Let's see. You said:
"Kick and bite? Really? This would make rax units even more useless"
Okay, cavalry trample no longer affects enemy units once enemy researchers tower shield. Also, trample affects ALL UNITS, siege and academy units included. Trample amount doubled against hoppers, and 1.5x vs. phalanx and centies.
"axeman have no use past the tool age, better to make swordsman better if anything...slingers the same, although a nice bronze upgrade would help civs like greek vs archers"
Agreed. All swordsmen-line units +3 attack. Axemen +3, slingers +2 attack after Alchemy. Also, slingers +2 attack in Bronze(no extra bonuses in Iron)to any civ w/o impies.
"camel already has a bonus vs infantry (damn cav charge)"
Actually, they don't. Objection overruled.
"jihad is more a mp tech, and is only useful for flooding the map with towers and forward buildings"
And when your vils are crumpled by an ele charge(along with your towers), call me.
"if you did that then you would give assy slingers and compies, greeks impies (wasn't it only sparta that rejected the use of archers?) etc"
I'll give you that one too. However, Assyria slingers fire 10% slower. Also, all civs get slingers.
"legion rush, i assume you are refering to a dm strat. eles are only used in dm games as a rush, the next thing to do after a ele rush is to siege (hcats etc). if you legion rush you dont need to use war elephants (as the enemy cats will chew through eles)"
Generally, anything backed by eles goes well, assuming the other unit gets to the HCats.
That's ROR patch 1.0d v2. How do we like this?
"Preparation is not prevention. Just because you know what's coming does not mean you can stop it."

Something to remember: always know where you're going, but never forget where you came from.
