Ptolomaic AOR guide

Only just started this so only one unit done. Probably has some inaccuracies but heres the start. Really need some help on the actualy Areas where units are recruited. A spearmen cannot form phalanx and has short spears. A hoplite has medium spears and can form phalanx but does not have the very long spears trait. A phalangite has the very long spears trait and can form phalanx. Note that in 1.5 Hoplites do not need to press the phalanx button to form phalanx and thus can have the back and front facing different ways and both presenting spear walls. EB is based on 1.2 so hoplites must form phalanx to attack with spears.
V.1.1 added men in unit and Akontistai
V.1.2 certain traits are void on pantodapoi
V.1.3 added a lot more units. Most unfinished need barracks TIER and AOR

I'm not involved much at all in unit development/recruitment/etc., so I can't speak to how much will change in 0.8 vs. 0.74 in regards to unit recruitment (and thus on guides to this also), but I will provide an easier map to use for this sort of stuff if you like:

Perhaps TA is actually a high-Subterfuge spy that someone has inserted into EB? ;)

Or perhaps he likes to think of himself as a Santa Claus-like figure who brings presents to the good boys and girls. :)

A slip by TA!? Pic no longer accessable, hmmm.

good work darkarbiter. You might want to gather them all in your first post tough.


Is Teleklos teasing the fans again? It's not fair I'm much better at doing that!
