    WHAAAT!?!?! Are you absolutely sure about that? When were they removed? Dosidataskeli were the main reason I wanted to try the Lusotannan, even though I have never tried a barbarian faction before in either RTW or EB (I'm too civilised!). Mainly this was because of the fact that I am a traits person, and in RTW, the so called "barbarian" generals had a lot fewer traits to gain. It was practically impossible in RTW to get a barbarian general who had 10 influence and management, which was actually quite easy with the Roman generals. Now that the traits system has been changed and now I might actually try a barbarian faction in EB. I looked at the units and decided I liked the Iberians the best, but without the Dosidataskeli it won't be nearly as much fun!

    What about the Dubosaverlacica (Ebherni Armoured Shock Infantry)? Are they still in the game? Why are the Dosidataskeli out of the game while the Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou (Hellenic Elite Spearmen) are still in it - the Seleukid counterparts are even more heavily armoured?

    Also, how can I put back the Dosidataskeli in the EB campaign. I know that they are ahistorical, after all, the first time I saw them (I wasn't playing EB then, I was just deciding which mod should I choose RTR or EB) I thought that there was no way such a unit was historical. After all, the unit is unrealistic as well as ahistorical. How can a man fight and move in that much armour without tiring after a minute of combat anyway? The answer is he cannot.

    Lastly, who are the Dunaminaca and Goildic heavy infantry? I couldn't find them in the online EB units list. Could anyone post picture/unit stats?
