I think this because the Indo-greeks had coinage with the elephant on it like that
and the Indo-Sakas had coinage with the hippocampus (i think) as their kingdom was along some river in India and I guess the king wanted to show his recognition of the need for proper river defense/etc.
but I could be very wrong...
No.
Wow, I completely missed this preview
Well, if I may ask.
What is the reatic phalanx?
And what are Persian Hoplites?
Raetic Phalanx to begin with.
1) Result of the Cross-over of Roman/Celtic/Greek influences in some Alpine region...
2) Similar to the Mori Gaesum: "Greek" formation with less discipline but better swordsman skills.
3) Lineothorax, Celtic Thureos, not noble. (As opposed to the Mori Gaesum; who are nobles.)
Persian Hoplites: are the result of Achaemenid attempts at incorporating various aspects of Greek warfare in their own military.
Due to various reasons the Persian Hoplites ended up as:
1) A light version of the post-Peloponesian War hoplites.
2) Lacking the spirit and superior discipline of their Greek counterparts.
3) A mix of Persian and Greek influences.
They were very disciplined compared to most other Persian/Armenian infantry; but were still no match for properly organized Western infantry. They are reliable infantry, nonetheless, and can provide your army with a key element in siege/assaults; and are always good for added punch. You should however not try to rely on them as a substitute for heavy infantry when you play as Armenia or Parthia - your best bet remains the archery with a core of heavy cavalry.
Elephant icon - could be Numidia
Ichtyocentaur - as on the shield of indo-greek noble hoplit from unit arts development thread, so i guess Indo-greeks
Units - awesome
Is that no to his theory, or no to his saying that he might be very wrong?Quote:

In the meanwhile; you could enlighten yourself by flipping back a few pages of this thread... :bulb:
I think faction symbols can't be changed during a campaign.
Awesome review guys! Very cool indeed, but about that Epilektoi Hoplitai, in the current version of EB it is a pike phalanx unit, you say that it's the new KH BG unit? What use is a pike phalanx general? Or are you changing them to overhand phalanx?
I love those new units BTW. Especially those axemen, their hat looks so cool.
Erm, well... these Easter Epikletoi are sort of completely separate from the 0.8-ish Epikletoi. Those will continue to exist, albeit under a different name.
So, are the BG Epikletoi pike or overhand?
Hoplites old school. ~;)

Well, who said it was for EB itself?
:inquisitive: I thought the preview was for EB factions....I assume you mean those symbols will be in EB2, which leads me to believe that the indo-hellenic kingdom (not Baktria....if I'm not mistaken there was one based more in India) is one of the chosen factions for EB2. I know you won't answer that, but that's my best guess.:2thumbsup:Quote:

Yeah I just read that on Wikipedia, and realized that I was wrong. Maybe Bactria in EB2. Regardless, both faction symbols are pretty sweet. :)
I think the answer to what they are and what they are for are already said in this thread somewhere. I remember the questions being answered at some point.
Something with the late-period project, I guess.
:egypt: Ive discovered it!
Why the eb team are never straight with us.
