It must be some indian unit...
Re: Name the faction
Mauryan Nobels?
Regulars would fight without armor I guess.
Nice bamboo bow by the way.
Re: Name the faction
I think this unit is a indian warrior

Re: Name the faction
could it be a local militia unit for some of the regions near india?
Re: Name the faction
Well, it looks to be an Indian archer unit. But is it available to any faction? I think it'll be in the local rebel armies, maybe recruitable by Baktria.
...Or is there a secret Mauryan faction that we haven't been told about?
RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

Re: Name the faction
Indian/Mauryan Longbowmen or Patiyodha if you prefer.
Probably rebels and a unit available to factions that manage to take control of the indian provinces, and choses the right government.

Re: Name the faction
Very nice unit I especially like the bamboo longbow. I guess the unit must be a kind of Mauryan rebel unit maybe available to Bactria.
Re: Name the faction
Mauryan Longbowman

Re: Name the faction
Either we can show the sword in the scabbard, or we can have the scabbard be empty. We cannot have it filled and empty based on what weapon he uses. So we chose in the scabbard.

Cant wait to see next unit!
Re: Name the faction
Your previews and mini-previews are a truly refined form of sadism imo :)
It's not a map.
Re: Name the faction
It's the same unit. Notice both pictures feature a hip-quiver and a scabbard. Unfortunately, like Khelvan said, it is not possible to alter the unit skin depending on which weapon it is carrying. So either it always has a sword in the scabbard or it never has.Mauryan Infantry and Mauryan archers.

The last unit is beautifull, BTW.

Re: Name the faction
Yes, these were Indian longbowmen, defending our easternmost provinces and available to at least Baktria in the Indian provinces should they take them.
Now, this one is a little bit more difficult:

Re: Name the faction
I'm thinking Thessilian Cavalry but that has been previewed so I don't know.

Re: Name the faction
Successor state medium cavalry... I don't know which, because I have little experience with the successor states. However, that is definitely Greek-style armor, with a xyston spear.
Edit: which faction uses the feather and wings on the helmet? That should pin it down.
Re: Name the faction
hm this one was hard.....I also think it's some medium Greek cavalry.
Re: Name the faction
man look at the quality of these units and them compare them to the units in barbarian invasion...
Re: Name the faction
I have to say its Thracian Cavalry
Thracian Cavalry

Re: Name the faction
Thracian companions!
(ya never know =P)
Re: Name the faction
Well, its definately Greek or succesor state calvalry of some kind, the armor, xyston and falcata inspired sword are a dead give away...
I'm going to take a wild guess aand say Macedonian medium calvalry of some kind.

Re: Name the faction
Italian cavalery of some sort? I think so cause of the tunic decorations.

Re: Name the faction
The equipment looks heavily on the Greek side to me, but it could be Italian...where they using Xystons and the like in this period?
