I love the variation in the panoplia which gives the overall visual experience a whole new level. But still, I'm a bit concerned.

Well actually Hoplitai have none recurring colors, they are not equipped by state! Their regional appartenance appears on the shield, each symbol corresponding to a region or city, but certain are simply used in the whole hellenic world...

Actually the better way to distinguish yours from the ennemies ones is : Ennemy's direction facing Hoplite are yours, and those whose slaughter your soldiers are not yours!!!
