Syntagma? Taxis?

In the Antigonid era, Hypaspistai weren't used the same as they were with Alexander or the Seleukids. Rather than Hypaspistai, use Peltastai Makedonikoi.

were they a reserve or something like the praetorians?

You're telling me! I've still got about 20 factions to do, with all reforms!

Cheers. msot of that I already knew, but thanks none the less. Linking in to this, I was thinking of using some of those foot companions and sticking them either on the right wing, or behind the hypaspists. Thoughts?

Che Roriniho, I was working on a manual for a while, if you would like to use any of my material or ideas they are yours. Unfortunately, I had way too much stuff going on in RL to work consistently on it and I sort of got burnt out and moved on to other things. It is also outdated, particularly the installation section as it was written for 1.0. I have a wiki here:

If you need help doing any writing (or editing; I have been told that I possess half-way decent grammar and spelling), I'm more than happy to help. But, I understand if you want to endeavor it alone; I've learned all to often that too many cooks spoil the stew. Sometimes, it's easier to do it yourself. Feel free to PM me though if you need anything.

Thanks very much. I'll get it to something approaching a readable state, then start a thread on it. Currently it's very much in Alpha, but if all goes to plan, expect more in a week or so. I will PM you. Just, when I have something for you to work on (currently it's just a 4 page list of formations) and Army Composition, but eventually it'll be an all-singing, all-dancing EB-fest with a section covering jusst about everything. Then we'll have to do it all over again for EBII
