Thank you for your replies, gentlemen.
I suppose the purpose of the Thorakitai hoplitai is to simulate the shift from classic hoplite infantry to the more mobile thureophoroi and thorakitai
In any case, as you probably have understood, I'm more interested about the single battle than about the unit itself.
No intent to bash the EB developers here, so I ask, out of genuine curiosity: may we conclude that the part of the battle described in the unit description is "invented for the sake of narrative"?
A reply from a EB developer/historian, if he has enough time of course, would be appreciated. As well as yours, guys.
