So, how come Makedon can't recruit Thorakitai?

[Reverend Joe]

Is there a historical reasoning behind this, or is it just an oversight; or did you run out of model spaces or what?

And if it's one of the latter two, is there a way of allowing the Makedonians to recruit Hellenic/Seleukid Thorakitai, or would it cause problems in-game?

The reason I ask is because I really want to play the Makedonians, but I am bothered by their lack of Thorakitai; they just seem like such an essential part of the battle-line, especially in later years.

They went for Hysteroi Pezhetairoi instead. Only Makedonia has Hysteroi Pezhetairoi.
I think Makedonikoi Peltastai are great in that "Thorakitai" role. More expensive, true but also more versatile.

but you can mod it in fairly easily i think.

In EBII at least the Seleukids will also have the Hysteroi Pezhetairoi as well. The main problem right now is that we ran into model limits and used the Merc Trick.

Seleukids! Hysteroi Pezhetairoi!? My favourite faction just got even more awesome! Completely of topic, but you guys need to make Steles for all the changes to existing factions. Especially the Seleukids .

Yeah, but... how? I got no idea how all those files work.

So the Seleucids also adapted their armour due to wars with the Romans? I know the Macedonians were involved in a lot of wars with them, but seeing the size of the Seleucid empire, did they really make an entire empire-wide reform for the Pezhetairoi?
