  1. What would count as "proper" it is said (on Wikipedia and other sources) that the Seleucids used hellenistic merc cav. The Tarantine cavalry from Tarentum were famous cav mercs and where used by all greek and hellenistic factions sans the Ptolemaics. I think it would just diversify and hellinize the Seleucids more, instead of using an exact copy of a persian unit. While the Seleucids did use Median cav, Tarantine cav would make it more diverse.

    If Tarentines are mercenary, then add them as mercenary. Median Cavalry can be their regular javelin cavalry. ;)

  2. I created http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/3488 Maybe I will have time to look into it for A20. Feel free to take it if you know how to do it :)

    For all of those that want to try it I submitted a working patch :)

    Your latest patch work perfect as described! Only 4 more thing to make garrison point work perfect, in this order:

    1. Selection ring must be at feet (or at prop coordinate, whichever) instead of on ground.

    2. Unit garrison on top wall gate should not prevent passage of unit (or keep door open). Unit obstruction should be ignore.

    3. Maybe remove silhouette for visiblegarrison units on parapet.

    4. Select wall or fortress you see the visiblegarrison troop health bars too.

    Hmm, I think it would be better to not have restricted class. Think about it: If I just want archers then I have to restrict everything except archers. Should be allowed classes instead IMHO (because those would probably be smaller subset), unless you have good reason to do it that way and I'm not thinking through.

  4. According to research on the Seleucid army; Grecogalatian mercs were a HUGE part of a Seleucid army. Thracians, Bactrians, Galatians, and Cretans were a large portion.

    Yup. Thats more accurate.

    Seleucid can have these for mercenaries (as in Delenda Est):

    Thracian Swordman

    Arab Skirmisher (very very large contingent in Daphne Parade)

    Cretan Archer

    Dahae Horse Archer

    Galatian Cavalry

    Train them from capturable mercenary camps on map.

    Bactrians, Medians, and Persians, especially the Hellenized, made up a lot of the heavy cavalry, Companians and Cataphracts. Medians and Persians also provide light cavalry.

  5. So, not Romanized Swords?

    Romanized swords part of Daphne Parade, is champoion infantry at Fortress. Daphne Parade is when they make their big debut as part of tentative reforms of Seleucid army. They are the men in their prime and as big as the Silver Shields regiment (which is now 1/2 the size it once was which make me believe the core of Romanized Sword regiment come from the Silver Shields, the men were previously Silver Shields). I think they should be special, so should not be regular citizen-solder. I'll keep them as champion in my mod. ;)

  6. Well, all of the Seleucid cavalry (minus the Hikkapontensis Polites) are VERY eastern in appearance. I believe that is not very accurate. While there were a few Eastern based units (which is why I suggest you keep the Dahae horse archers) the Seleucids were still very greek. I more greek roster would be appropriate. This is also why I suggested the replacement of the Thracians with Thorax Swords (Thorakites) and the introduction of the mercenary Bactrian Hoplite, because the Pikemen, Legionaires/Swords, and merc Hoplites were quite important in Seleucid armies.

    The Seleucid in this game represent Battle of Magnesia, Battle of Raphia, Daphne Parade.

  7. Basically the Insula is the "house" for the Principate Romans. It cost 250 c74X0Gq.png and 100 2YUlRAW.png, and gives 25 Fo3YSzo.png. It covers 2x as much ground as a Republican Roman house, being 2 Republican Roman houses wide (but same depth, so the footprint is a rectangle).

    Here, show the footprint:

    The 2 story part of Market looks very mich like how a Insula can look.

    Here is great reference:

    Need at least 3 variation.
