Its very unlikely that Gastrophetes will appear ingame. Their only reported use in classical literary was several decades before our time and there is no indication that they were anything but a specialist weapon with little military significance. Unit slots are slim as it is and to spend them on a specialist unit such as the Gastrophetes, who would have limited recruitment potential, would be a rare choice. That is not to say they never will be in, but they had been discussed in reference to EBI, but the decision was not to include them.
