I feel honored to be mentioned, Sebidee as the big bulk of the research was pretty much done by Marshall and Rex. I am happy I could help you with this and look forward to the next expansion...this time I will join you guys in the research though...if I find the time.

Other than that I really gotta try the mod out later...I'll try to get a cultural victory with Pontos as I already completed a Pontic campaign with a military victory.

Dude you helped with testing and that's really useful. These things are a joint effort! I would change the name of the mod to Sebidee's and Rex's and Marshall's and Chocolate's Pontic Expansion but I'm too vain

Again, great job, Seb! I really love the effort you put behind every unit

And, by the way, is this going to be translated for the UPC Project, as always? I can only wait

Yes it is, give it time

They are waiting for the full Emperor edition to come out before they make any updates.

Hello, I just thought I would give some feedback about this mod.

Cappadocian Noble Cavalry has the same armour statistic as Cappadocian Cavalry, but the Cappadocian Noble Cavalry in the game are shown as having better armoured horses: The horse armour covers the whole head and neck. This added weight from the armour would also make Noble Cappadocian Cavalry heavier and thus do more damage in a charge, but NCC actually have a lower charge rating. Perhaps make the unit have an armour level of 75 or 80 and a charge bonus of 40, but increase the price 1000 or so?

Secondly, I think that the statistics of the Apple-Bearer spearmen are a bit inaccurate given its purpose. As a spear-armed defensive unit, it should perhaps have shield-screen instead of shield-wall. "Use the whip" seems misplaced as well since it increases damage, but the Apple-Bearers are meant to hold the enemy in place, not slaughter them like a sword-unit. The addition of "Form a Square" and "Use the Whip" also seems unbalanced since the unit only costs 1060 but still has the "Encourage" passive ability - it is too cheap for all its special abilities. Lastly, I think its melee defence is too low and thus makes it inefficient as a defensive unit. Perhaps remove "Form a Square" and "Use the Whip" abilities, raise the melee defence skill to 50 and increase the price to 1100?
