I fidn this a bit of a tough call...
in my Mak campaign I had the choice...and what a weird choice it is....
Peltastai are ~30mnai more expensive. and thureophori have 1 def point more....
Bút there are probably some many, many "hidden stats" like ammo, range and probably attack"speed"...
I know the basic difference between a Thureo. and a peltast. (at least, i thínk I do) but when having just enough cash to choose between the two, wich O wich.....
Peltastai are better skirmishers, more javs, longer range.
Thureophoroi are better better in melee, more defense.
more defense? 1 point!
that's not really that much? or am I missing something?
As you said about the possible hidden stats, I dont think the unit card always tells the whole story. Theuroporoi in my Baktria campaign are really versatile medium infantry. They have always held my flanks and never let me down. I would never trust that kind of job to a peltast.
