Looks like an older model for some Roman unit.

[Strategos Alexandros]

Isn't it the 0.8 Marian legionary?

hmm... cant'be, and im quite sure is not from 0.7x too...
could it be somethink new?

[Andronikos]

Isn't it a foot unit general or centurion or how to call it (I mean that man which makes the additional 2 men with standard bearer)

[Geoffrey S]

That's been there for ages.

[Obelics]

how stupid, it's a capitan i think... i didn't recall that...:oops:

EDIT: ok im not sure anymore, i dont think it's a capitan...
i dont know, boh?

[Watchman]

He's got those "pinion" thingys at the shoulders, and those were Officers Only weren't they ? And the kinky-looking thing hanging over them privates only came to use during the Principate IIRC.

I'm betting on either late-period infantry officer, or one of the late-period units that have since then gotten reskinned.

He is the Romans army icon on the map when the army has no general.

Yeck! Trousers! How barbaric.

ah! you got it Sdragon, great eyes, thanks! but im a bit deluded too:embarassed: i thought it was somethink new the EB team was preparing for the legionaries... I must be sincere, i dont like very much those big faces, in the new skins for imperial units... so i hoped they were adding new heads...

ok never mind:shame: i will take the big faces!

so wise!

[Watchman]

There was also "Do not show your fruit", but if you ask me that sounds vaguely perverse. :beam:

[Obelics]

ahah! yes, i dont want to show that to the monkeys...:laugh4:

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

That's not a current or future unit model.

[NeoSpartan]

i will take the big faces!

there was big and good discussion of this when EB 1.0 came out. I "believe" it was explained that yes the heads were indeed a lil' out of proportion which is what made them look big. I "believe" a new model will be introduced but... I don't know :shame:

thanks, i thought i was the only strange guy, that didn't like them... while every other one thought they were very cool... now i feel much better:2thumbsup: hope they will consider to adopt a new model in the next versions.:beam:

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

It's been done for 1.1.

[Obelics]

It's been done for 1.1.
AH! Thanks! That's a great news!

Nobody responded to my comment on the trousers.

May I ask why EB would portray Romans as wearing such an abominable item of clothing? :clown:

[Watchman]

They nicked them from the barbarians, obviously. :beam: IIRC trousers sort of became synonymous with the miliatry, which also over the centuries developed a whole lot of other "barbarian" affectations.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I don't think they are supposed to be actual trousers. I think they are some kind of... for lack of a better word 'leggings'...

[Watchman]

I'd say "breeches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeches)" would seem to come pretty close. Might count as some form of hose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_%28clothing%29) instead depending on details though.
