This is just me nitpicking, but I don't think Scythia ever had its own hoplite force. I mean, I don't mind little inaccuracies that enhance gameplay and fun factor, but Scythian hoplites seems a bit too much. Maybe just call them Scythian Heavy Infantry and note in the description that they "adopted the Greek fighting style to counter the heavy infantry types of other kingdoms" or something?

to my knowledge Scythia along with many other nation in the CLassical age did make use of hoplites in one form or another. And with Scythian being close to the Greek colonies in the Bosphoros it is easy to assume that they did have substantial Greek influence. However, if you feel that calling them Scythian "heavy infantry" would be more prudent I can fully understand.
Thanks for the complement Gaius!
I got a new unit done, and I thought you'd like to see it. I'll be posting a preview of the full faction on the weekend probably.
The Tarentine Epilektoi Hoplitai
note: I've been held up with school work recently so I haven't been able to upload much, expect some new stuff relatively soon
One new unit, hope you like it, more soon
The Arcadian Hoplitai, with the Greek AP standing for Arcadia
I have to say it looks really nice. Keep up the good work
here's the first in a series of previews of hoplites from the independant polis on the map. (represented by rebels)
Gela Hoplitai
The hoplites from Gela are well-ermed, often highly experienced and more than a competent force on the battlefield. They wear linothorax, corinthian helmets with a tall crest, and their shields bear images of the same satyrs found on Geloi coins.

Leontini Hoplitai
(from Google Maps)
One of the early opponents of Syracuse, this city will be a difficult nut to crack for any Syracusian tyrant aiming at Hegemony.

I like those units but I only have a suggestion to Old_King_Coal.
This hoplite phalanx formation looks pretty cool when you are in the pre-battle and you start it and finally in the begining, BUT if you analize this formation you will see how useless it is BECAUSE:
When you attack this formation from the backside you see that the hoplites turn and fight with their spears looking at the sky!!!!!!!!!!! they don´t get down their spears and fight like the hoplites at the frontside...understand me?
so I recommend you to remove this formation and make them fight with the overhand animation nothing else.
BTW one more time it´s my humble opinion.
yes i understand it isn't perfect yet tenerife, but please note that it is an incomplete project and what you see now is only temporary. So we will be likely changing the spears
oh ! In that case, keep up this good work :)
regards
man, when are you planing to released a beta??
I think it´s time to kill some persians
well probably not for a bit, the mapping is coming along slowly and we'd like to relsease a beta with some of the map at least. Maybe in the next month i think
well december is a good month
we all love december
sorry about the lack of new stuff recently but i've been having a tad of computer trouble (fixed it up now tho)
so, here's some of my more recent work, the thracian heavy cavalry, textures by me and model from Variagmod:
I'll probably have a full faction preview of Thrace sometime soon

But i have put some things together, here's one of them, the Argive Epilektoi, (full faction preview soon)
the corinthian helmet model (not the crest) is from the Variagmod thracians

The latest greek additions are really good.
Except you might want to have symbols instead of letters for most units - like the squid is good - AP for Arcadia....
As for the Scythians... They only had cavalry (limited populations means no massed infantry formations) - and imagine if they had to march all those hundreds of miles across the steppes..
Maybe they had some peasants at home armed with spears or swords and shields only (nothing so glossy as you have)..
But for main units you might want to have 2 or 3 types of cavalry..
The basic horsed-archer (maybe with sword-shield melee ability)
(Optional) Spear - shield medium cavalry
Scyth (axe) - shield armed Noble cavalry (gold armor would be best)
And also don't forget to give them a bigger beard, and for the archers, and foot-soldiers/peasants the classic Scythian hat.

Also check out these units -
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=262012
the 6th picture down in "huns vs. ostrogoths" would make awesome basic scythians
the 4th picture down in "western romans vs. sarmatians" would ba pretty good medium cavalry - except adding armor to their horses, and a better saddle balnket would be better - maybe make their armor bronze, and give them brown clothes instead of red - to make them look more scythian..
thanks for the suggestions, I do try to avoid using letters for shield icons but please note that when i do use them it is based on historical research.
always good to get suggestions, this mod is still in development
