It wouldn't be for nothing. It gives you the option of training heavier units for more cost or lighter units for less cost or a balance in the medium units. Gives the player options. 

Looks really good! I doubt the apron (parablema) would have been added to the aspis. I guess you didn't switch the sword not to have everything on the left? One possibility is to rotate it a bit backwards. Also, I guess the game in general assumes that swords hanged from belts, when they did so from a shoulder strap, as in the picture I posted.

Thanks! Glad you like it     All done: All the shields, armor and helmets are defined in tropaion_post.xml (so it's basically a small tropaion). I've added all kind of spartan shields: We can easily add or cut out any asset to match historical accuracy tropaion_0.28.1.zip

@lilypoppy I'll go through Richardson's commentary to refine each scenario. He states that Appian thinks Carpessus is Tartessus, but "it is often assumed that Appian here means Carteia, on the bay of Algeciras, close to Gibraltar". This means that Carpessus/Carteia should be in the south of the map, and Tribola in the north:   Also checked A Historical Commentary on Polybius, by F. W. Walbank, but there's no more info regarding the Titthi and Belli, while in Hispaniae, also by Richardson, it's stated that "might be that there was a division between those of the Belli and Titthi who supported Rome and those who sided with the Arevaci", meaning, maybe not all of them were pro-Roman (there are contradictions between Appian and Polybius anyway). Finally in The Decline of the Roman Republic, by G. Long, I find: "The quaestor of Vetilius was with the troops which fled to Carpessus. Appian says that he applied to the Belli and Titthi for five thousand men, that he received them and sent them forward against Viriathus, who killed them all. The quaestor himself kept quiet within his walls waiting for help from Rome. We cannot understand how a man shut up in a town on the south coast could communicate with people in the centre of Spain, and receive troops from them. If the Belli and Titthi fought with Viriathus, it may have been in their own country and in self-defence. Appian's narrative is here unintelligible". Trying to follow Appian as closely as possible (not to overcomplicate ourselves), I'd leave things mostly as stated before, assuming that somehow the Titthi and Belli are at the scene already, or arrive after being called upon before these events, or just after but a long time has been compressed. I'm thinking then, as I said before, to "move the Titthi and Belli colonies closer to the Romans", but maybe instead of colonies they should be rally points from where their armies will enter the map after triggered.   That would be great, thanks a lot! I have no problem writing whatever needed.
