Why doesn't someone make this?
Here is my thought:
Some of us wanted to use the first version of the spartan unit as a merc unit, but it was not agreed to on the whole. The unit was first done by Agart, and I heard someone mention on the public board recently that the skin was included in the build, but just isn't being used. Now in the overall EB plan, that takes up a unit slot that is going to be used elsewhere, but I would think it would be cool if someone made a unit using the current spartan stats and model, but just used that skin instead and made it a merc, available I would guess in Lakonia, Peloponnesos, Aitolia, Krete, and Kalabria. Honestly I think they even made it to Egypt at some point, so the range could be increased, but I wouldn't go overboard really. Maybe Attike, Thessalia, Euboia, Brettia, Mysia, Lesbos, Lydia, and Karia would be a wider range to add.
Anyway, the skin Agart made is much more rich and decorated than the one that ended up in the game (SW's). It would be more appropriate as a "full-time" merc instead of the regular KH unit that we currently have SW's variant as. It seems like it would all work pretty well.
Any thoughts on it? Does the skin match the model still, or did SW change it up and pretty much rule this out?
