Spanish Cavalry in Afghanistan

[Philippe]

The leader of the Bactrian faction seems to have a unit of Iberian cavalry as a bodyguard.

Not likely.

Presumably this was a placeholder unit that never got replaced. Any way to rename it or replace it with something else? Shouldn't the bodyguard just be a slightly watered down version of Hellenistic heavy cavalry?

(I think there may have been a region called Iberia somewhere in the Caucasus, and they may have had cavalry, but it's going to take some quotes from ancient authors to convince me that Alexander and/or the Successors sent a unit of Caucasian cavalry and/or their descendants to the border of Pakistan).

I think this was explained somewhere and is on purpose. Maybe the team should post an explaination on the main page or something (if on purpose).

If that unit you see has a palm leaf on its back, all is right with the world. It is even accurate.

If not, you are correct to report it. It has been suggested that one family member has that problem. Work progresses to fix that problem.

Thanks for reporting that.

Hehe... That Iberia has nothing to do with the Iberian peninsula.

This is a mistake. That unit is just an old placeholder. They should have the Early Baktrian Bodyguards as their general unit. This has been correted for 0.81.
