    There were no newer units for the Brutii or Senate but there 3 for the Scipii

    Another type of Roman Cavalry i'm guessing, would have to make into roman colors Maybe?

    We should make this an AOR unit, maybe as mercenaries

    Isn't this already in Rome Total War?

    This I believe is Eastern Legionary Auxilia Maybe?
    This unit brings up the Lorica Segementata issue. Maybe we can make a Lorica Hamata Legionary available across the entire empire, and the Segmentata Legionary available only in Rome.

    This seems to be a different skin for Legionary Cohort Maybe?
    See above, and the Legionary would probably have to lose the green leggings

    Here is a version of Praetorian Guards but it brings us back to that debate Maybe?
    I don't really like the Praetorians (as a unit), but they should be in our game. I would also have to check the historical accuracy of those units

    For the second batch of units

    Some Roman Hoplites.. Did the Romans use Hoplites at this time? Maybe?
    No they did not. Although mercenaries and auxiliaries may have used Hoplite formations

    These look nice.. Some Syrian Archers YES
    Only late in the game, perhaps as AOR unit.

    And the Generals looks alright

    We are not doing that. We are sticking with Polybian units.

    And maybe the Romans could train Auxiliary Phalangites or Auxilliary Hoplites in Hellenistic areas. But then that brings up a whole host of issues.

    Well we will have to credit the author for his work, and try to change each unit as well.

    Also, most of these units are Phalangites. For Phalangites, we need to have a small shield (or peltast-type shields) , and two hands on the Sarissa. Also, different units will need to have different types of hemets (so some have the basic cone helmet while others have the Phygrian helmet

    Quote Originally Posted by ahowl11 View Post

    These seem to be marginally more historical than the RTW Phalangites, but the shield is too large. The phalanx formation also seems to be smaller than the phalanx of the other pictures. I don't think we should have this without much changing.

    A New type of Phalanx Unit YES
    We should definitely have this, if with a bit of reskinning or resizing

    Macedonian Armoured Hoplites NO
    You are correct, we should not have these units without major changing.

    I believe this is Allied Pikemen YES
    The helmet looks good, but once again the shield needs to be smaller
    This Looks Like a Palace or Royal Guard of Some sort YES
    These were the Hypaspists (sp?) and they would not fight as Phalangites (they would have pretty much different armour as well). The helmet is good, and we could use it for the other troops.

    Edit: Second batch of troops.

    Macedonian Companion Cavalry YES
    Maybe, the helmet/armour/weapon appears to be alright. We could use the RTW unit, they look very similar.

    This Unit would be Elite Pikemen YES
    We could use them, but they would need lighter armour. I do not think the Phalangites fought with heavy armour. This Unit would be Elite Pikemen YES

    Thracian or Illyrian Infantry? YES
    Maybe, if those factions were semi barbaric, they might have used mail or no body armour.

    The rest can go in

    The first three units are historical but were obviously from an earlier time frame, so they would be good for Vanilla RTW but not for HRTW. The last two can be used for fantasy mods

    Seleucid Empire Next

    The legionaries look good, and the rest of your choices are correct

    Edit: For Carthage, Hannibal did use Roman armour for his soldiers due to the amount of dead Romans. But we should not have Carthaginian Hastati.

    I think we should have the Carthaginian Scutarii, since Carthage did use Iberian infantry. However, they should only be AOR units.

    This also begs the question, how far do we go with the AOR system?

    We would have to change it for sure...the shield and armour look weird.

    I'm not sure, but we have to change the phalanx style to a different one. We might have to change the rest of the equipment though

    Archers! Don't they look nice? YES
    Don't we already have Carthaginian archers?

    Armoured Spearmen. Good unit for Atropatene, needs its own UI YES
    Its in phalanx formation so we will need to edit that.

    For the next set of units.

    No immortals

    We could have archers, but we also need slingers

    As for the cavalry, we could have them, but i'm not sure if they were around when the game starts. The Parthians had very heavy cavalry, and light cavalry, so since Media became part of Parthia, the horsemen need less armour. The other cavalry could become a "medium" cavalry rather than a heavy one

    Yes, and we might need to slightly edit the helmet plume colour.

    The helmet needs to be changed, but we could use it.

    This is more of a Briton unit, but even then I doubt the historical accuracy of head hurling units

    Gallic Chariots. I like it, but they need UI. YES
    No, I believe only the British used Chariots. In Gaul, chariots were more of a battlefield transportation

    Correct, on all counts although the armour of the Gallic cavalry will have to change--either no armour or mail.

    Most of your selections are correct:

    1. Keep in mind that Briton Cavalry would be similar to Gallic Cavalry
    2. Briton Noble infantry needs to lose that helmet
    3.I don't think Armenian Cavalry is correct---an axe?

    I like the idea of different auxilia, though they need hamata. I think allow training of both segmantata and hamata legionaries anywhere, and instead give pro/cons. this might include cost, armour, speed, and such. I don't like the Praets. Though..... Maybe make the praet the general. Rome didn't use hoplites during republic/empire. They got rid of them in the kingdom/early republic era. No assualt infantry? D: I wanna shoot at the chariots though. Roman chariots? I don't believe rome hadd chariots, except maybe as a special thing, like for generals. Rome did in fact have elephants, but general only used them for shock and awe against northern barbarians. So I think it should be a mercanary unit from the far eastern provinces. We should have different cavalry for rome, but no legionary cavalry or "roman cavalry". Maybe an auxillia cavalry named roman cavalry, but generally citizen cavalry was only to skirmish, and not effective.


    sorry if I'm breaking in with already stated info, or if I'm bringing back dead thoughts, I'm still reading up on the mod
