The faction symbol for the Samnites may change, but the swastika was a symbol used in many places throughout the world.
We have another unit to show off. This time, it's Alexander's Agrians:

These light troops were some of the best in the ancient world, and the elites of Alexander's army. They were the first foreign troops to be fully accepted into the Macedonian military. Drawn from the rough North of Macedon, these troops were incredible in all kinds of terrain. They were indispensable during Alexander's attack on the Persian Gates, and his Eastern campaigns.
When Alexander would break from his army, he would always take Agrians along with his Royal Guard. They often served on the right in battle with Alexander's elite Companions and Hypaspists, serving at times almost like Hamippoi to the Companions. To earn such positions, they must have greatly supported Alexander, and had nearly unbreakable morale in battle.
These units will be small in size, but of great ability. They will be equipped with two javelins, one of which can doubler as a spear in close quarters combat. They'll also carry swords. They are extremely versatile, and can fight as strong light infantry to protect the flanks of the slower phalanx, traditional skirmishers, or even as hamippoi to the Companions.
