    Default Re: What to do with the Epeirotes?

    Great thanks, but I'm sorry I might have to change ancient greek as I don't have a soundfile for
    "Phalangitai Thessalikoi".
    Wiki gives regions of upper macedonia as units of Philip II phalanx: Orestis-Lyncestis, Elimaea and Tymphaea. That would be an alternative but then I'm lacking the needed skins. Well an ox for Thessaly isn't perfect either.
    I'll just see the use of Pezhetairoi as an attempt by the Macedonian king to show Northern Greece is becoming a unified nation. Also whereever large forces of professional phalangites would be recruited that would probably have required some social chances with the resulting class identifying with the Pezhetairoi of Macedonia.

    Quess I'll go with:

    Phalangitai Deuteroi: Lewy Phalanx found everywhere in the homeland regions.

    Pezhetairoi Makedonikoi: Phalanx unit mostly recruited from the traditional areas in upper Makedonia. Or what's left of them.

    Pezhetairoi Agrianikoi: Phalanx unit based on Paeonians imigrating to Macedon during the Galatian invasion. Again according to Wiki bull is one of the few surviving paeonian words. So I quess it's a better fit then Thessaly. And the Koinon Phalangitai is the best looking phalanx of the game.

    Pezhetairoi Molossoi: Phalanx unit founded by the Epeirote King and taken over by the Makedonian King.

    Misthophoroi Phalangitai: Freelancers or soldiers from states with cash problems having entered longterm contracts with the King of Macedon.

    Hysteroi Pezhetairoi: Veteran Phalanx based on Pezhetairoi Agrianikoi

    Chaeonion Agema: Veteran Phalanx based on Pezhetairoi Molossoi

    Argyraspides: Veteran Phalanx based on Pezhetairoi Makedonikoi

    anyway I can't claim to do very realistic modding:
