The only other thing I can remember us discussing was that there were Seleukid coins found in the grave; however, I don't remember which kings. At the least, the use of a large thureos, chain mail, and iron helmet are common. The only thing I would do differently is use the spear overhanded rather than under.

I'm in contact with him regularly, but I suppose it is better to say that he left the history field for better financial prospects in the business world.

hmm that's sad but at least you could ask for permission perhapse? I personally think it would be sad to not include one of the iconic units from eb. but i would fully understand it if the team would not include them because off stated reasons. i think i've asked the same thing about the heitaeroi kataphraktoi and a team member said they wont be in eb 2 too =(
