errrrr do thracians even wear cloths..............

I beleive they wear clothes. Even the naked fanatics wear clothes. But only a rag sort of thing. Much like Thracian warriors..

The militia cavalry saved me a few times in the early game, two units of htem working together can really devestate the AI. Thrace has a difficult run in the first part of the game (Pontus, Scythia, Dacia, Macedon, The Greek Cities and the Brutii all can attack you within five turns), but if you can tech up their later forces are pretty brutal. Phalanxes plus heavy shock troops = bad for just about anyone.

The Canadian/American story is actually a myth. Check Snopes.

It's funny, though.

My favourite elite unit is my general.

Ride to glory! I know you all are immortals, it just takes time for resurruction.

Though I would really, REALLY like if I would have a general's bodyguard unit as a group of elephants...

Imagine: AN ARMY OF (GENERALS) RECHARGABLE ARMORED ELEPHANTS!

I have got to give credit to my parthian horse archers time after time they have slaughterd the poor pikes of the egyptian and selucid ranks. I salute them !
