  1. While it would be interesting to have gallic wars I realy hope that we wont be fighting Cartaginians with post-marian legionairs, I'd rather see some nice Camilian/Polibian Hastati, Principi and Triarii =/. And if you include Lorica segmentata (since there's going to be people always asking for Hollywood-style legionairs), please keep it only as a optional late upgrade..

  2. Mare Nostrum? Because the Punic Wars started as a fight for sea suprepremacy. But since we dont have already Romans there cant be Punic War....

    Alalia - Battle between Greeks and Carthage (allied with Etruscans) that probably influenced the destrution of the Iberian Tartessian civilization at the hands of the Phoenicians as revenge for helping the hellenes, leading to Carthaginian Hegemony in the west (before punic wars and the rise of rome) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Alalia

  3. Still, I simply don't want them in there, they kind of ruin the style.:P

    I understand you, playing with KH (the greek states) faction in EB I never used them as I prefered the good old hoplite style. But they are quite usefull and one of my worst nightmares in Multi Player (as tough phalanx flank guards).

    Nice units, what is DD?

  4. lol. Anyway, I think the Chalkaspides would work nicely. The Thoakritai look too Roman to me, and I'd like an Hellenistic feel. (though the definition of "Hellenistic" is pretty much "let's throw all cultures of the Ancient world together and see what we get".)

    Not all thorakitai looked like romans, they were more like versatile heavly armored troops with thureos (oval celtic shields), celtic chain mail/ eastern scale mail, thrusting spear and javelins, who could skirmish, act as shock troops and also fight in a very effective (hoplite style) phalanx, a natural development from Thureophoroi, a mix from hoplites and peltastai with thracian and celtic influences, roman influence came only later.

  5. To balance out things, the Seleucids should get an Champion Infantry Unit too. The Chalkaspides (bronze shield pikemen) are already in the game. (though I think they were the Elites of Pontus rather than of the Seleucid Empire)

    What about Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou? =P

    Or even normal Thorakitai if they arent ingame.

    Or some elite regional archers like Syrians.
