Javelins effective against shields

Have you ever wished that javelinmen in Rome 2 could effectively skirmish?
Or that all those precursor javelins or pila actually did something more than deal damage?


This mod adds contact effect to all javelin projectiles that applies a temporary penalty to enemy's:

• Missile Block Chance - making javelinmen more effective at attacking shielded targets, even from the front (Such as when using them as a screen for your frontline, as they were used historically)
  
• Speed - enabling javelinmen to more effectively skirmish against melee infantry
  
• Shield Defence - giving melee units with precursor javelins an advantage in combat after charging

All in all, this should result in javelin units being a bit more versatile, having more use than just devastating flanking.


This mod will apply the effect to all vanilla javelin projectiles. If a mod uses a custom javelin projectile entry, it will not get the effect
