    yup...so 4 spartans is pretty reasonable...

    i do not think that the argraspides as strong as they are in EB..should be present at all...there were no immortal argyraspides left after the diadochi wars IMO...but then again any and all of my readings in this era are EB and ye olde' wiki so...

    and yes i think the KH had good cav and the maks cav had deteriorated as the true hetairoi, skilled warriors as they were, were significantly lesser...the reasons they lost to romans..but of course maks should have more cav than KH any time

    EDIT : i guess this could be a nice 2vs 2 battle(right wing and left) but of courese we could add some units to make the scope larger (it is currently 21 units vs 28)
