Dime i was thinking that a Draco standart would be a great addition for the new parthian companions. Also if they are to keep the swords can you make them longer?
Looks good! Now you only have to get rid of the ugly bright purple
Looking good. Purple could be a little darker. But still, keep the vanilla look.
I say ditch the purple all together or at least get rid of the neon-purple color .
And maybe make the shield straight wood or something .
i particularly like the Getai archer idea - it's been a while since I have played the Thracians but shouldn't the Bastarnae/Dacian Falxman just wear trousers and a skull cap, like the Vanilla version or the old Scythian Axeman skin. I seem to remember that the only recruitable 'falxman' was that guy with no shirt but a thracian helmet, who seemed a bit out of place.
I'm not sure what thread to post this question. But I was wondering how the plan to reskin the Ptolemies was coming along?
Well, Im done with the actual skinning, now Im just making unit cards. But sadly until mid december, my time is at a premium. Hopefully I can have all the polish done and in DBH's hands in a week or two, hopefully with a few other projects of mine that have been sidelined.
Thanks for the response Maraxus. You do great work and I'm looking forward to the finished product.
Hey just a thought should Iberian cavalry have the hide/ambush ability as I read somewhere that the horses were trained to be silent and to lie down without a man lying across their necks. Infact all Iberian units should have enhanced hide/ambush traits.
Fix the problem, not the blame!

i propose adding a stronger hypaspist-style unit to the GCS. they, of course, get the Sacred Band, the superior version of the regular hoplites, but while the Seleucids get the Argyraspid legionnaires and the Macedonians get the Agema hypaspists, GCS only stays with regular hypaspists? consider this, please.
i dont mean necessarily giving GCS the same macedonian hypaspists, could be something different.
they're awesome but use spears so while they gain bonuses against cavalry they leave a bit to be desired when fighting other infantry. i use two kinds of mobile non-phalanx melee infantry, the hypaspists and the sacred band/hoplites on each wing and i move them around depending on what the enemy is sending and where it is sending it.
when facing things such as rome's post-marius legionnaires and seleucid's argyraspid legionnaires, the regular GCS hypaspists come out short.
Well, GCS are supposed to be quite conservative so no surprises.
We might think about putting some mercs that could be useful for them but no regular units...
Tip: you should find some quite useful units around thrace if you want something nasty against armoured inf...
What about AOR hoplites for the major cities. For example...
-Sparta (already done)
-Athens (armored in farily up to date gear, attic helm, linthorax)
-Corinth (armored conservativley, muscle curaiss, corinthian helm)
-Thebes (don't know about armor, but boetian helm)
-Cretian (muscled curaiss and corth. helm
-Cypros (I have no idea)
-Rhodes (linthorax, don't about the helmet, but the kind triarri have would be nice)
-Ephesus (same as rhodes)
-Byzantium (don't know)
-Bosphoran (scythian style helmet, scale mail to show samartian.scythian influences
-Tarentine (etruscan helm and linthorax armor)
-Syracusian (don't know much about thier gear, but should show italic and carthaginian influence.
-Massillian (the EB model would work well, but perhaps chain instead of leather as weren't the averni famous for thier smithing?)
Or alternativley, doing hoplites by region...
classical-keep the standard non phalanx hoplites and have them recruitable only in areas where they were used (i.e. pelloponessus (sp?), crete, halicarnassos)
Iphakratean-recruitable in the more modern cities like rhodes, athens, and in macedonia/epirus
Italic-recruitable in Italy and Sicily
Bosphoran-recruitable in the bosphorus
Celto-Hellenic-recruitable in gaul and parts of Asia Minor and northern italy (cisalpine gaul)
Successor-A variant for successor kingdoms (Macedonia, Epirus, Egypt, Seleucids)
Eastern-An Armenian/Pontic/Parthian variant showing eastern adaptation to the greek ways of fighting. I beleive the Achaemenids(sp?) did this in the wars with alexander.
Barbarian-could be recruited in conquered barbarian regions. Could be further broken down into Getic, Illyrian, etc.
