for someone who plays traditionally as hellenes the "scythians" will be used to protect the flanks and harass the enemy into a head on engagement (steppe warriors to screen the advance of the phallanx and then perform the flank operations)

the bosphoran kingdom is like the takashilas a new learning experience on how best to use them what are the weakpoints and the strongpoints and pretty much wich way offers less resistance aka as where to expand
Hmmm I'm really exited for the bosporan kingdom. I like to play with the diadochi the most and scythian horse archers are one of my most important units in my macedonian campaign.

So i have thought of some new questions hahaha.
what is the actual source for the Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou? as i am buying some books on the seleucid empire (my favourite diadochi) like: From Samarkhand to Sardis: A New Approach to the Seleucid Empire, The Roman War of Antiochos the Great , The Seleucid Army: Organization and Tactics in the Great Campaigns i would like to know if there is actually a book where some of the evolution's of the Hypaspistai are explained. Also in Rome TW. EB and all other mods of Rome + rome 2 the seleucids have armored elephants. is there actually something written about that? I've only ever seen 1 relief where an armoured elephant tramples a Galatian warrior. and where do we know if this is an elephant of the seleucids at all.
