Sword Armed Thorakitai (using Ptolemaic Basilikon Agema) plus some other things..

Looks to me like he has a beard. :P
If you can do that model-changing thing on Dunaminca so that it looks like a Hellenic Legionary, I would be very grateful.
Don't worry about the Unit Card, I'll probably make it the easy way (i.e just use the Pontikoi Thorakitai unit card)
Oh and if you do these changes and send the modded unit to me how would I make it work in the game? i.e Replace the Dunaminaca model with the modified one you make?


Sorry if I ask too many noobish questions BTW.

Ok... here's what I came up with what do you think? I could get rid of the plumes easily if you don't like 'em.

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Wow... That looks awsome! Yeah I think the unit would look better without plumes.
Some minor things: (sorry if I'm asking for too much )

Could you remove the beard, change the shield so that it have an Argead Star as a symbol on it, and maybe change the chain-mail-tunic so that it looks like the Pontikoi Thorakitai's tunic. i.e more grey-ish.

Thank you so much for doing this! I really appreciate this.

note: stupid question, is this a separate unit or is it Dunaminaca re-modelled?

[Teucer]

Ok... here's version 2

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Perfect, Thanks!

[Teucer]

now comes the hard part... where do you want these guys recruitable, and what sort of stats do you want them to have? I'd probably go with either the pontic thorakitai stats or else the samnite infantry stats, but you could create something from scratch I suppose. If you intend these guys to be Makedonian legionaries, then you might even go for the polybian hastati or principes stats (but I'd take off at least one shield point since these guys have a thureos rather than a scutum). If you let me know where you want them, I'll see what I can do about coming up with the right changes to the text files. Meanwhile, I think I'll be using the original version as an Ibero-Hellenic shock infantry for my 'Epeiros in Iberia' game...

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Hmm.. I've roleplayed some pretty heavy Roman influence on Makedonia and would I would like this unit's stats (but with that shield value reduction you proposed) as well as AOR to match that of the Cohortes Reformata.
These troops are going to represent the final form of the Makedonian Thorakitai, I think their name should be "Thorakitai Kopidophoroi" , "Swordbearing Thorakitai", or Koorteis Makedonikai (maybe a bit to roman-esque).
