    My only extremely minor beef is Hoplites depending on which faction look like they're wearing leather armor vs. lino.

    Most linthorax is cothered with leather to protect it from the wet, and to add that little bit extra bodily protection. However in most cases it is bleached white. The actual linthorax itself would be a rather mucky colour, what with the undyed linin and the glue.

    some Hoplites even have bronze scales in thier Linothorax. In my aedui campain I am training Hoplites from southern italy and they have bonze scales. Its cool when you line them up next to mercenary hoplites. You get a nice view of different shiled designs.

    I like it.

    Could someone please post me a link to the mod that enables a shield wall? I'm having trouble finding it on google and in the forums? Thanks.

    Mine. I'm thinking of revising this one in the near future though.

    hmm, I took a look at those links, and they all seem to modify things other than just unit formations. You mentioned that if I add shield_wall myself to the unit files, I won't have the icon for it? Then how do I use the shield wall in the game?

    EDIT: It seems that Watchman's mod makes the fewest changes.

    You find the unit entry in the EDU and add ", shield_wall" to the end of the formation line. It takes a bit more work to get the proper interface icon though.

    Any reason why they couldn't be - or linothorax covered with leather, for that matter ?

    Use one of the several mods available to give units shield wall, or do it yourself in the EDU.
