Macedonian cavalry is the 'lesser' companions more or less. Remember that the Companions were made out of the nobility, the lesser nobility being the rank and file with the higher nobility being closer to the ruler.Originally Posted by Seleukos
If that warrents another unit I don't know, but directly a mistake it is not.
Royal Pikemen is a bad name as these are obviously ment to represent Hypaspists (well they are mentioned in the unit's description after all).
The Hypaspists you want were reformed into the Argyraspids in India, no longer functioning like that. But since Macedonia didn't retain her own corps of Argyaspids in any significant degree it was obviously decided that a Hypaspist unit would be a good compromise.
Cretan Archers were employed by the Cathies in both of the first Punic Wars, and Antiochus III had a contingent of them at Thermopylae and Magnesia.
So in regards to factions the Mecedonias are aboutthe most accurate there are.
