Also, it would be nice if people could give us a little support, and wear a sig linking back to this topic or our forum on RTR. We only have these two right now:

We really could use any attention we can get.

But most forums have sig limits

The small banner shouldn't violate anyones signature policy. It's a bit annoying that there seems to be no way to edit my posts here. I messed up posting this last time:

I'm thinking about ditching the Iberian faction in favor of someone else (although I'm not quite sure who right now). They didn't really expand, and I think we could represent them fine by simply using stronger rebels, as we're doing with Numidia.

I have a few ideas for who to replace them with:

-Another Indian Tribe, most likely Magadha
-Bosphorus
-Ethiopian Faction, or possibly some other strong group of Africans
-Instead of using the Bruttian League, possibly make a Bruttian and Lucanian Faction

If you have any other ideas, don't hestitate to give them.

Seems Good, I am going to watch development of this mod!

We have two new loading screen designs (really just an improved logo from the last). I'm not sure which we'll use. I figured I'd get some extra opinions.

I'd go with the black lettering. BTW, this is a great project.

Thanks for the support.

This unit is a Greek mercenary (and was made by Beee) in the service of the Persians:

He fights without much armor, and has a heavy peace of leather on the front of his shield. Both are adaptations to fighting in the East, where missile fire is a more common threat. Because of the lack of armor, the unit is also a bit more mobile, and doesn't get tired as quickly.

Greek mercenaries were the elite troops of the ancient world in many armies, including the Persians. They will be the best, and most reliable infantry available to them. He fights as a traditional hoplite, with the large shield and long spear.
