    Because I wanted to have a faction that didn't have horses. Yes I know Syracuse were famous for their cavalry, it was a game play decision.

    The decision was also based on Syracuse not having much part in the first Punic war. Having been sieged and surrendered to the Romans, Syracuse was an ally of Rome and served as their base on the island. It would have been difficult to portray that and, not wanting to give them any advantage I didn't include cavalry.

    You could give them a light mobile unit, like the militia cavalry, as they were constantly used in greek warfare to lighten up the enemy ranks a bit before the hoplite confrontation. well at least they can recruit mercenary cavalry out on the field. Right? Havent played the mod in a while so correct me if im wrong

    I don't think there is any merc cavalry on the island.. Probably, what I should have done was make Syracuse unplayable..
