    So true.

    It is a mixed blessing: we have power enough to change the game, but power enough to break it.

    I think the dismount option is not a big issues afterall, as you may question it yourself...

    IF
    Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi dismount into TAB (logic)
    Hippakontistai dismount into Peltastai (logic)
    Eqvites Romani dismount into Triarii (logic)
    Hetairoi Aspidophoroi dismount into Peltastai Makedonikoi (logic)

    then
    What are Griphanvar dismount into? Dosodastakelli?
    Hetairoi dismount into? ? ? ? Hypaspistai ? ? ?
    And Ysaninu Aysiramja into...... Nothing equal?

    I still for the life of me cannot see why this would warrant the programmers taking anytime to do. It seems like it would be way more of a hassle than any benefit it might produce.

    1) A carbonated drink flavored with artifical sweeteners.
    2) The Seleukid super heavy covered in chainmail elite infantry.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    3) The sound of you, facepalming, because no one gets this...


    Seriously, I might consider the cheating thing. The problem is, to know all the internal names, plus you can only do it with full units, otherwise it would be REAL cheating...
