[Sauron the Great]

A javelin armed unit, like a Gascon Irish kern would be good.

Based on the fact that cities play an important role in Rome TW then we can use terms like Bordeaux Militia, etc when describing unique units this could also help with Longbows as it will allow for Flint and cheshire archers.

[Sauron the Great]

Yeah that would sweet. Would the archers be individual units or just get bonuses from those cities, like hobelars could get a bonus from London.
