back in the EB time frame? ... i cannot recall any units in the game that have them as part of their armor or decoration.

look again, my friend. there are quite a few Hellenic units that have them, mainly Spartiates and Epilektoi.

There are quite a few EB units with them, IIRC, but there is almost no evidence for their use during the EB timeframe. Still, this is really just an unimportant and nitpicky issue.

There is a thread in the EBII forum about the color of Spartan shoes. Nothing is small enough to not nitpick.

@Watchman, if you're reading this: Did bracers affect the armor/defense values you used or are they purely aesthetic?
