Hello guys!
I've been playing DeI for quite a while now and one what I noticed is that pike units of Epirus lack unique look apart from the tunic colors compared to rosters of other successor states.
Devs have a lot on their plate with 1.1 coming out, so I would hereby like to ask if there is anyone interested in adding a little variety to Epirote infantry units?
My ideas are:
-add some of already existing linothorax armors from Antigonid phalangites;
-add painted helmets without any crest;
-add a few more unique shield patterns.
So that phalangites look something like this:
-add pilos helmets to highlight the fact that Epirus wasn't as rich as the other diadochi states;
-add helmet featured with Scipio character model:
Elite units such as Hypaspists, Royal peltasts and Companion cavalry could also use some love.
I suggest:
-A mix of bronze cuirasses with linothoraxes;
-colored helmets as suggested above BUT with crests and olive wreath as on the image below;
-maybe slightly brighter tunics (possibly with some patterns).
I feel that this would make Epirote army truly distinct on the ancient battlefields of DeI ! What do you guys think?
