Can I suggest to add the mounted elephant archers?

[Fabri]

I would like to suggest just a few notes about the one of the tribes of Iberia, this is the Cantabrian. My resource is the text of Estrabón. First is about de "color":

Vístense todos de negro con sayos, de que forman cama, echándolos sobre jergón de hierbas.
- Estrabón

That means they usually wear black tunics, and also;

Parécense a los celtas, a los de la Thracia y Scitia.
- Estrabón

He says that he are similar to the celtics from Thracia or Scitia, actually in the current days exist the theory about the celts from the north of Spain arrived to the peninsula in the very first migrations from beyond the Rhin. Which make them a bit different than the rest of tribes from the south of Iberia. So I guess that a good way to represent it is mixing some units from other non-iberan celts.

Saldy this is the only picture I found:



Notice that the guy in the middle wear some kind of mask, in the the descriptions of Estrabón he also says how some cantabrian warriors wear this kind of helmets.

Iberian highland tribes are know to wear black tunics by choice, in contrast to the lowland Iberians, which wore white. Both would commonly decorate the tunic with a coloured band around the edges, as your picture shows, with reds and purples.

Indeed Fabri, the poor Iberian are very bad in vanilla. A shame as they were so great in EB ... We will work on them very soon after we will have given some love the the hellenic factions.

Here to help if needed Historical info, that is.

I've posted a lot already on Magnar's mod forum, have a gander, ought to be something juicy in there for you guys.

If you need feedback on some already done units, or units in planning, point me in the right direction, I love helping out with this kind of stuff.

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

Thank you very much Splenyi for your help and support. Indeed we will need some help facing the huge amount of unit we are adding atm. We already translated much of them but a QC help will be appreciated when the beta pack will be over (to be honest we wait the dlc release in order to see what it brokes in the current packs).

Not want to point any trouble, but most images look like they are copyrighted ones. Perhaps it would be wise to include "Courtesy of" and maybe a link to the site they are from. Just a head's up, coz moderation's pretty strict about this.

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

Will be done sir !
