Preciselly. I hire them in droves with Aedui, i'm currently sacking Greece, but they are too light to fight on exposed positions in front lines. They get mowed by javelins and arrows. Standard thureophoroi are far more useful as movable flank-guards. Illyrioi are best kept in reserve, because they are fast as hell and are excellent at killing cavalry that gets too close to your lines and makes a stupid charge. And do Megas' crazy manouvers.

It's cheap, sturdy and extremely versatile.

BTW, it's 251 BC, go north! Dalminion and Segestica, mines, money, and yes, getai. but it's worth it! Also, i may be a rusher, but this is too slow, Hellas is not yet yours?

251 BC? tsss, you should be in Bactria by now... XD
