No Cacti in Hellenistic Times

Hi,

I know, this will seem a bit nitpicky, but as an historian of antiquity, who has taught this to young students, I feel I have to report this
Before the time when ships visited the Americas on a regular basis, there have been no cacti in Europe and all of the parts the EBII map spans. (Except maybe one kind of cactus, that does not look very spectacular...)
Unfortunately the "Balearic Slinger" stands inbetween some very nice but also very wrong prickly pear cacti.

I do realize, that this is rightfully no priority-issue, but I thought I write it in here, so that maybe when there is more time, small errors as this could also be corrected.

Best Regards,
Mabruk

Actually, it's the "African slinger". But yes, not sure how that slipped through. On the plus side, you won't see any of that vegetation on the battlemap.

Weird we had new unit cards made quite a long time ago to remove cacti from them. I guess this one must have slipped through the nets or they haven't been inserted for some reason.
