I've just seen a picture showing a flaming pig. It's similar to the other unit descripton's pics. It seems the pig doesn't care too much about the flames on his back.
Found this picture in a traslation of Gamestar's preview in the Celtiberos page.

In page 8 of this pdf you can see the picture showing this brave elite roman unit.

I have mixed feeling about this flaming pig thing. Ok, they are fun to use and were even used one time or two in real history, but it is not like the Roman generals always went around with a herd of pigs and a lighter just in case they were ambushed by elephants...

On that ninth page you get to see that Greek soldier who looks like he's wearing Roman armor.

Yup he is a 'Silver Shield', a copy of the Roman Legionary. The description says so too, visible even through the Spanish (which I can't understand).

WOW That was possibly one of the most unreadable sentences I have read in a long time... When not intentional of course. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Actually Roman armies (and others) did march arround with animal herds (including pigs) not like the troops pulled up to micky-dees after a long march....
