    Default Little sneak peek: the choice is yours!

    One of the new units we are introducing in XC are the liby-phoenician iphicratean hoplites.
    These units are meant to represent Hannibal's phalanx at Cannae as well as an evolution of punic warfare.

    So, here's the candidates:

    1) DTW Carthaginian phalanx model



    2) Variant based on the Scutarii model



    3) Variant based on the civic cavalry model



    Which one do you think fits better XC?

    I'm going with the DTW unit. It just seems to fit, my second choice would be the civic cavalry men unit though, just in case you were wondering. The scutarii looks off to me...

    I think Carthage should have shorter pikes then the normal sarissa pike, because for me it just doesn't feel right to play Carthage with long sarissa's.

    So I'd go for the civic cavalry model. Second would be the DTW one, for that scutarii just ain't wel... does not give me the feel.

    They do have shorter pikes, sarissae are quite longer.

    Maraxus DTW-unit looks best. But overall roster-appearance must also be considered.
