Convert Throwing Lances to Roman Pilums

Make throwing lances damage be reduced to 35 pierce (this will be new highest pierce damage weapon thrown), but get triple damage to shields.  This offers a useful weapon for team support in getting rid of OP shielders (huscarl), but without the excessive damage of the current model.

Interesting suggestion, would completely change their current role from anti cax/2h tincan to anti shielder.

Could be a good idea since I don't see a whole lot of throwing lancers anymore.. and since I am in a Roman Clan I love this idea.

EDIT: Although I do not know how the community would feel about having that triple shield damage.  All I would see is moar QQ less Pew Pew.  ALSO chadz ADD SOME ROMAN ARMOR

It's not always about winning. It's about spinning.

I love you.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

I don't know about removing throwing lances entirely, but I would love to see pila in the game.

Great idea overall. It would add a whole new depth to how throwing weapons could be used to support. Also, roman armour + weapons? Heck yeah!

If this were done, price should be dropped a lot. 547g repairs is WAY to much for a weapon that is only good for helping out againist shielders.

Could be nice.

I use balanced heavy axes now to bust shields and skulls. With sufficient PS 44 cut damage will do the trick regardless of armour. Usually 1-3 hits to kill anyone.

The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)

I'd love roman Pilums but why convert them? Just make it two different high tier throwing weapons. Will give more variety and I also see why the lances should disappear.

ewww i dont belive this would be good at all, i need 24 str to throw lances? and there 5p weaker then jaivs and throwing spears?  my stack of 2 is 35p means i have to use both to kill a man, so i need 24 str to have a mid/low range weapon that can 2 shot people, if they have a sheild am fucked.... must use 1-2 to brake a sheild... the round sheild has 300hp, so i need 2 to brake it? then am left with none O.O

if they want to fix the throwing isseus i would say just raise the PT cost of all throwing by 2 for low teirs and 1 for higher teirs.
maybe weaken or change how javs and throwing spears work, but lances shouldnt be messed with, you get 4 javs but 2 lances.
