That interests me as well.
Also, I'd like to know why such late elite guard units aren't 100% armored on the torso. I don't think it's a matter of cost. The team felt that some of those fighters...

Thank you.

This thread was buried deep. Deep.
Well done on the new Arverni and Aedui units!

Some questions:
1. Are they FM units or regular, recruitable units?
2. Are they available from the start of the...

When will the Bosphoran cavalry be available? From the start? After a reform? Twitter says it's the early version, interesting.

The Astur-Cantabrians! Good work!
The flat shield boss with a cross symbol is interesting.

Thank you. It looks like it stands on friction alone... I want to try it!

The late version is awesome, thank you! Looks like my Carthaginian armies will be full of troops from the Iberian peninsula!

I'm interested in how those belts buckle... they're different than...

The Illyrians should get reworked - at least get rid of the mutant faces I noticed :D
...

The new Ligurian slinger unit is excellent! Well done!

Just the other day, I was reading about late medieval militia equipment. Residents of certain islands were obliged to own a sling, a sword, a...

Interesting change. I notice that the bronze swords are gone too.

New Gallaecian infantry look nice :)

1. They're spearmen now?

2. Will there be a late version?

3. What kind of belt are they wearing? I am not asking about the baldric.

Late Lusitanian Cavalry are on Twitter :)

Preview a new unit or release the patch. The magic of beer comands thee!

Thank you Trarco! Those stone figures are beautiful! They must have been quite a sight to see in their prime.
I can imagine such vests stopping some cuts without being cumbersome to wear. It's...

Late version looks great! Well done!

I read the English Wiki article, it did not give me the info I looked for. The Spanish version is better, mostly because of the pictures. I guess the answer lies in regional academic articles, just...

My question specifically excluded it's-the-weapon-you-have-atm type scenarios :)

Why wouldn't one use it in melee? Because there might be better alternatives. Someone please correct me if I am...

One more question. Some troopers in the middle version seem to be carrying soliferra in melee. How often was that done aside from improvisations prompted by emergencies?

What are those thin leather vests they wear? Are they armor? They're very interesting. I'd like to see what they're based on.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

Is this about the Sakastan or is something new about to be previewed on Twitter?

Do the Sakastan horsemen replace the existing Saka horse archers or are they a new unit?

Your Ilieis will make a fine addition to my collection.

Well done lads! Well done! Keep it coming!

We need to get him back! Assemble the A-Team!

I couldn't let the thread stay in the 2nd page, now could I?

Something?

"Finally, evidence strongly indicates that swords were secondary weapons, which further
suggests that melee combat was not the primary aim in western Mediterranean armies."

He's right about...

I haven't had a chance to read on the subject. Does Strabo specifically use the word "linothorax" when talking about Iberian armor?

Thank you!

So, some of them elected to fight without body armor?

Props to the team for the Late Celtiberian champions!
They are lighter than expected, though. Were Iberian elites noticeably less wealthy than their Gallic counterparts?

Thank you Trarco!

Blessed are those that preview new units.

Roma, there's a very special thread for such suggestions. I know the guy who made it, he's cool :laughter:

Btw, why are they wearing mail from the start of the game? It doesn't make sense.

Release the late Lusitanian units, damn you!

There are more possible answers. Like I said, they could have started using the helmet earlier, or the unit will be remade.

I believe that the Iberians will get the Montefortino around the time Carthage currently gets it. We will see.

As far as I know, the Gallaeci are a Celtic people in Iberia, not Celtiberian one -...

Question regarding the rise of the Montefortino helmet in Iberia.

I have noticed that the current Callaeci infantry have Montefortino helmets right from the start. However, the remade...

These look like regular spears. Weren't falarica supposed to have very long speaheads?

Can I read about them somewhere? The only throwing spears of similar length that I know of are the atlatl and the medieval fletched javelin, but they have stabilisers (feathers) and/or are thrown...
