Hello. Though I'm new on this site and I'm only 17, I have been thoroughly interested in classical history for most of my life. I happened to find this site by accident in my own quest for Rtw realism. Coincidentally, I had just been making an interesting list of things, units, used in history that are not prevelant in the game and should be. I humbly present my list of historically accurate units to which I can add inumerable details should they be requested.
