I've played with them a bit in the custom battles (easiest way to test them; just edit the "ownership" line in the stat file and presto, they're buyable).

Odds are the game gets kind of crazy if you edit them into it as mercenaries (the text file governing *that* is in the "world" folder or somesuch; just for laughs I also modded in a merc version of the Amazons while I was at it)... the most logical appereance regions would be in the Middle East, and boy, I'm pretty sure they'd throw the Seleucid/Egypt struggle off kilter...

I'll have to take your word for it then. I've long since uninstalled rtw and don't plan on giving it another go anytime soon. They sound interesting if nothing else
