Er... no it's not. There is a difference between the hoplite and noble hoplite.

But the pic looks almost exactly like the hoplite we've got now! Only lighter skin and some sort of Hindo-Buddhist design on his breastplate. Even the helmet is similar! I'm confused!!!

Depends on when they get done. We have a lot of cool units that haven't been drawn out since we have enough information on them. There was a particular one that Paullus showed us based on a grave stele. We thought it was so cool that we gave it immediate priority to be completed. In fact, it's already done.

The Indo-Greek Noble Hoplite is being worked on, but there are some tricky things coming up with the model that we're using. I think they have been resolved though so that is good news.

Do you mean the Baktrion Agema or the Indo-Hellenikoi Hoplitai?

The Baktrion Agema and IG Noble Hoplite are on the same model using the Merc trick. Different units, and different areas of recruitment.

Okey, yeah it's kinda like the Arjos/Solduros thing, sweet! Will the IG be on higher MIC level than the Agema?

Heh, you'll have to wait until the next release to find out.

Oh, that reminds me - when the next release comes out, will you make a massive Readme Of Ownage and a thread to go with it, listing the changes from .81a v2 to .9/1.0? So that we don't miss anything
