    Default Special Units for all?

    I would like to talk about the 'special units'. I dunno if some are available and for whom...They are nearly all available in a custom battle.
    What about...

    • Spartans


    • Myrmidones

    Am I able to recruit them in the right city or are they just for one or two factions?

    The Spartoi aren't Spartans. You can read about them here.

    Any faction can recruit them if they own the right city and have the right buildings. Currently there are quite a few special units scattered across different areas of the map, and we're planning to add more in the next major release.

    @Spartan198
    oh..I see..that's a great difference...but their look reminds me of Spartans too So I could recruit the Spartoi in Thebes? I had a look at the EDB and the hidden resource is 'spartoi'...is that a city? If I remember it right hidden resources were always cities in case of other mods.
    And last but not least:
    Where may I find the Myrmidones? ('hidden resource myrmidones'?)
    @Zenith
    I really would appreciate some special units..Odysseus would need some help! Thanks a lot for your job

    Spartoi are recruitable in Thebai. The name 'Spartos' does not refer to any city (see the Wikipedia link posted above). Myrmidones can be recruited in Alope in Phthia and on the island of Aigina near Athenai.

    The House of Laertes does get a special unit on Ithake and Kephallonia, the 'Ithakesioi Epibatai' ('Ithacan Marines').

    Hey by the way great mod guys; I'm curious as to if The house of Tydaeus has any special units; if they don't how about the warriors with white shields (don't know if they were in the exact literature but I do remember in something I read that before they set off to Troy the Argive and Diomedes pleadged to bring back Helen and they took up white shields). Thanks before hand, and again gret mod.
