Thanks, but I don't think we are the smartest guys around , (even though some of the guys in the team come pretty damn close!). What we are, is passionate about history, and making a great without compromising an iota of historicity each of us on their own sector.

I love civ 4 and will be sure to play the Baktrians. If you want I can give you a list of their cities to use.

If I remember correctly it was your list I used. I created a Baktrian cities thread while I was creating the civ. As I was have a hard time finding ANYTHING related to the Baktrians. Infact the most I had found was from the work you guys produced. And then it really only helped for the UU. That gave me something to work with. The Baktrians that I have added are pretty sweet though. If managed correctly they are a financial powerhouse. And the Baktrian Agemata gives the players a great and versitile unit for a great many roles. But personally they arent my favorite to play with. Personally the Thracian civ I created just before are my persoanal favorites. They are aggressive and financially sound a pretty good combination. But enough of my shameless plugs If you do want to play as them you will need Civ4 Warlords with the 2.08 patch. Let me know what you think.

For anyone interested the Seleukid civilization I was working on is complete and is available here. Thanks again to Keravenos and everyone here who suggested an option for me to add. It was a really big help!

Nice to be able to help. Just one observation. Thorakitai argyraspidai had every inch of their body covered with armor. Not the hand which held the spear as it would have to be ready for quick motion, but just about everything else.

What you need to do is draw some scale in the feet between the "skirt" and the greaves. Then it will be A-OK.

Other than that, an excellent unit of a great civ!

Texture is fine, yet for some reason the legs appear too thin. I mean the leg from the waist down to the knee is in its widest. They don't look that way to me. Previous "upper leg"=from waist to knee, was thicker/wider/stronger, even without the armor. With the armour on it should have been "thicker" still. Right now he doesn't look like he has the muscle (upper leg-wise) to carry all that armor and shield.

Hey, you asked for criticism. I think I owe you to tell my honest opinion.

-Seems that the same goes for Baktrioi Agema as well. If it is a game issue, please disregard all of the above!

I will be sure to play both civs. They are fantastic!
