The KH faction descriptions explains it more thoroughly, but the short answer is yes, though the alliance fell apart pretty quick. I can't answer your question regarding Thermon, but they weren't part of the alliance and they weren't subject to Makedon, so making them independent seems the best solution.Quote:

Nice peview. Looking forward to it :2thumbsup: .
Thermon would be under control of an Aitolian Koinon in 272 (the politics of plunder is a great book on them at this period). It is perfectly represented by being a very difficult to capture city/province that causes conflicts if any other faction besides KH takes over it (it had ties with the Athenians and will cause a war to break out between KH and the attacking faction).
As Ludens said, the faction description and history on the website answers these questions about the start situation of the KH, and unless there are specific questions outside of that there is no use repeating any of it here.
TA: Thermon's not that hard to take though, considering all they have is a few phalanxes and lots of skirmishers. In fact, that's the problem with lots of Eleutheroi settlements: they seem to be garrisoned by skirmisher armies.
Having to fight a full stack of peltastai really kills the immersion for me
Maybe there should be a series of few militi units created for different cultures to garrison their towns?
At night I dream of my armies of Saka Cataphracts with Bactrian Agema defeating and burning Rome to the ground... I am crazy aren't I?
Only a little. :2thumbsup:Quote:

According to our Saka people they probably did use Greek troops.Quote:

Carthage made extensive use of "barbarian" soldiers from Iberia and Gaul. The number of Celtic and Iberian soldiers fighting for Carthage was actually greater than Carthaginian citizens in most situations. A Carthage expert would know better than me, but I think that the Carthaginians themselves, with the exception of those in the Sacred Band, only served in the military during emergencies.Quote:
