Having played this mod on and off for a really long time, I had never gotten around recruiting or even zooming in on the eastern infantry equivalents of this mod, because, you know, they're useless for anything other than pushing rams (which the cheaper peltast guys with axes do equally well) and serving as arrow fodder (ditto). Until I noticed their equipment in some old preview on the .org. And I am rather surprised by their 'heavy' appearance.
As you can see they appear to be wearing armor.
I am not sure if that is historical, or just included for variety?

Gawd I hate it when tons of people look at my idiotic delirium yet no one bothers to answer.
