This is historically incorrect and also totally illogical. That's why it's all the more surprising that in most games you fight until last man standing.

In the case of morale and stamina unfortunately I couldn't prevent this from being displayed via status bars. If a fighter still has his shield in hand he can use it to block attacks - if not, then not. If he has three spears left in his hand he can shoot three more times.

That's why Roma Invicta only has them when there's no other option.įor example a ranged fighter's ammo is not indicated by a bar above the head.
