Cyrenian Unit Roster & Other Thoughts on post 1.0 Egypt
With the wholesale changes made to Egypt in 1.0, (new culture/new war, etc.) I was alittle surprised to see that Cyrpus still exists. Obviously the inclusion of the Cyrene revolt means the devs think Ptolemy AI can handle multiple front wars so not sure what reason there is for Cyprus to exist since it was a Ptolemaic possession circa 272. If the concern is they would be steamrolled out of Asia Minor by the Seleucids that seems to happen anyway with Cyprus, so why not just give all of the lands to Egypt and possibly create a new starting army for them to contest those provinces. In summary I suppose I'm asking partially whether there are any plans to tinker with the start pos in future updates for any of the factions (so long as Egypt is one of them [emoji13]).
Also, right now playing as Egypt 1.02, Cyrene fields an army very similar to garamantia and the other subsaharan tribes aka glorified plebs. Any chance they're roster might be updated to more the Greco-Egypt phalanx and maybe the faction made playable at some point in a future update? It was a revolt by one of Ptolemy's generals if I wasn't mistaken so it should be Diadoch roster.
This is what happens when overworked law student gets some free time over winter break so I apologize for the deluge of comments. loving the new official 1.0 version but can't help chiming in from time to time with some comments/suggestions that spring to mind as I'm playing.
Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work!

Re: Cyrenian Unit Roster & Other Thoughts on post 1.0 Egypt
During my Ptolemiac campaign, which was a week ago or less maybe. The Cyrenaican unit roster was predominantly Sub-Saharan or Ethiopian with a smaller element being Egyptian. This is something I believe DeI can fix and give the faction Greek-Libyan units which DeI already has in stock. Also do the same for the rest of the minor African factions respectively. That being said DeI are in the process of making new cgi/portraits for leaders which is looking quite good and much better than the default vanilla mess.
