CYRENAEAN ARMY PREVIEW
The following preview uses pre-existing DeI units (all credit goes to their authors); the plan is to use them as a baseline and then heavily modify their look. At the very least I hope to add unique shield symbols. I've added commentary on planned changes below. As always, feedbeck would be greatly appreciated! There will be at least one more additional Libyan units, but I'm still researching the topic. I've added population classes to each unit:
I. Kleruchoi
II. Politai
III. Laoi
IV. Xenoi
Big thanks go to KAM 2150 and Ygraine, who helped me put this roster together!
