Pergamum hoplites or pikemen

[DedlySerious]

just a quick question i have not been too lucky finding sources but was pergamum a successor state or not and if it was should their infantry (barring the awesome pergamum hoplites) be phalanx pikemen instead of phalanx hoplites i know this is being addressed in RS2 with agema phalangites

[General Brittanicus]

Im not sure, but i thought that pergamum was what was left after whichever successor state that controlled asia minor and syria collapsed. So if i didnt make that up i guess they were indirectly a successor state just not under th name of the kingdom of pergamum. I dont know what there infantry would have been though.

It is ruled by the Attalid dynasty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attalid). Pergamon is the successor state to the Lysimachian Empire(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimachus), a successor state to the Macedonian Empire. It stands where the legendary city of Troy once stood, and it was a Greek City-State until Macedon took control.

ok thank you for the replies i did some reading and im not sure of the historical accuracy but i changed pergamums basic infantry to pikemen
still undecided to give them either seleucid silver shields or pontus bronze shields
