Dosidastakeli recruitment?

[Olaf The Great]

That would be a good idea, if it weren't for the fact that the TA model was adjusted so the Dosidataskeli and its Goidelic equivalent could use it as well, and they'll probably go back to the original one.

I actually thought it was the other way around? Eh, doesn`t matter, It's not like I was serious anyway, Iberia has enough great units to fill the gap anyway (they weren't very usefull anyway)

No. The leftmost image is the original Thorakitai Argyres (before the inclusion of the Dosidataskeli), and the second to the right is the current one. Both the helmet and the shoudler protection have been altered to conform to the Dosidataskeli model.

Note some of the changes were also due to historical reasons if I remember correctly.

@Jolt bodyguards from other tribes,...shouldn't be recruitable.Even if only one could be recruited. And if it would be limited this much, it would be waste of the model slot. Unless there is evidence that suggest they were used frequently and are effictively attested. However I don't see that happening. SO I guess we can safely state they won't make it.

The armor they use is Heavy chain mail and a layer of fishscale armor. IIRC.

I agree as to where the unit limit goes, compared to the unit quantity/province of recruitment, but I don't see any problem where a unit of bodyguards wouldn't be able to enter the game, considering it could be a Vascii King/Warlord and his bodyguards, much like there are other factions who depict nobles and their companions.

Maybe there could be the possibility of being able to get them as a merc general's bodyguard in Cantabria? This should satisfy historical accuracy, and curtail the unhistorical spamming of these guys (though I don't really see them as spammable, they were pretty expensive in 1.0).

Just a thought.
