Do Imperial Legionary Use Javelins?

[Seeking Solace]

I wish I was able to view their equipment to tell. Do they have any stacks of javelins?

[Brother Bigot]

No

[dulany67]

no

i think you want the imperial trained and imperial vet. I want to say the principies have them too.

[Khamal]

They have maces and swords
(There are mods that let you edit the troop tree's, you COULD make them have some ;) )

The menavlion unit has the javelins.

Press N check the encyclopedia, check the units stats or go to party menu right click a unit check it's stats and equipment.

Empire Unit definitely use their javelin but not all of them due at higher tier infantry units transition to heavy armor spear unit and loses their javelin.

Tier 1 unit doesn't use javelin. I believe empire have their own dedicated javelin units they are noble units but in higher tier they become heavy cavalry.

Showing you really don't need to upgrade all your units to higher tier.

Imperial legionaries don't have javelin, they lost that in exchange for better armor and a spear.

Imperial trained infantry is the only imperial unit that have javelin.

what bothers me is that the legionaire has a spear called "Pila" it looks like a pila but you can't throw it........... the pila was a throwing weapon used by rome, and the turks confused it for a basic spear? when latin for spear was Hasta instead. but here is the kicker, it says in multiplayer the pila is a throwing spear and yet here we are with pila's that can't be thrown despite being told otherwise. gg 7 years of development. rant over

spnpccharacter.xml to see troop items
spitems.xml to see what those items actually do.
(melee/thrown weapons you then need to look up crafting components unless you have a copy in game to check)

Actually you are able to throw the Pila. Press X while holding the Pila and it enables the weapon alternative mode and allows you to throw it, just like pressing x while holding a javelin allows you to use that as a spear without thrwing it.

why doesn't it have the throwable tag then, i know its throwable in MP you also get 2 of them. tbh i never tried pressing X with them in SP because it lacked the throwable tag
