4 land units like he posted spearmen, skirmisher, swordsmen, veteran / noble sword.

+ 2 cavalry 1 skirmisher and 1 noble would be enough for me.

Kartvelians had shock lancers, skrimshers and archers cavalry. also had battle chariots. Kartvelians Infantry were Spearmens, Skrimshers, Archers and Slingers.

in game is Colchian skrimshers/axemans( nort-west caucasians), Colchian hoplites, Kartvelian Skrimshers/Swordsmens. Chalybean phalanx(khaldians) and Caucasian late period shock cavalry.

I want reworking this caucasian units According to history and archeology:
1.in nort-west caucasians unit add iron plates square and kartvelians unit iron plate oval shields, delete hoplon shields, stay wooden square shield. add Colchian sword, delete axes.colchian axes add only add for light colchian skrimshers/axemans

2. Kartvelians unit iron plates oval shields delete and add in north-west Caucasians unit. add new wicker and leather covered round shields -with big bronze shield boss from east georgia. delete all hellenistic helmets, helmets with horns

and add new bronze plate helmets from kamarakhevi and varsimaantkari , maybe some warriors add eastern or urartian type conical helmets. add kartvelian clothes with kartvelian ornaments and colors.- Dark blue, burgundy, brown, various tones of gray. add caucasian animals fur . delete all knemids. fix wrong warriors native name-Kartvelni mehomni is wrong name, Meomarni Kartlisani is correct name.

also fix wrong native names - kartveleni and zaneni, correct names is Kartlelni and Egriselni , chaldians correct names is Chanebi

3.in khaldians unit add long pants and clothing for all warriors. add flax armor with wicker lower body flax ropes. unit texture is low quality-fix it

4. in Colchian units add north-west caucasians hoplon shields, add flax armors similar khaldians.add iron scale armor. unit textures is low quality - fix it

i think many colchian archaelogical materials is ignored, but colchian materials used for north-west caucasians unit

also, I want add in game :

1.early period Kartvelian Skrimshers/swordsmens cavalry.

2. late period Kartvelian Shock lancers/swordsmen , Skrimshers/swordsmens and archers/swordsmen cavalry.

3. early period Colchian light skrimshers/axemans .

4. early period Kartvelian medium spearmens and light archers /axemans infantry .

Wow! Impressive list! I agree only three unique units for a Colchian/Kartvelian it's not enough! Three cavalry and four infantry units are just fine, not too much.
Are you making 3D models for them or you leave it to EB team?
Just curious, since you are good in archeology you are probably have plans to extend Hellenistic roster, as well? Poor Hellenes, all of them have same slinger , archer and skrimsher units!

I do not know 3D , I hope the team will make these units. Because historically these units are a reality.
