Your standards are your standards. When the hell did you become the arbiter of all that is "historical" or not? Again, might I remind you that you are not on the EB team and you do not determine what is in the mod or not? An "academic reconstruction" would not ever have to attempt to create as many units as we have, and as many variations of as many units as we have - to aid in providing that variation (and indeed, there was a lot of it in antiquity and there is a lot of it in EB but in ways that the engine can depict; i.e., in different units, not within individual variations of soldiers within a single unit), we will sometimes use a texture or a piece of equipment that was not as common or some element from an adjacent or influential neighbor to add to the realism - not to detract from it. That's what is happening here. Is it realistic to insist that every unit wear the same thing or have only the type of weapon or cuirass or helmet that is the most common type for that province and that unit found inside that province? Hardly. Using a common light armor (yes, common), one that is highly degradable in comparison to other types and that in artistic depictions can be confused with scale or patterened designs on cloth, on a few of our variants of a few of our units is not some egregious error. Just a few images in files on my cpu here depicting this type of armor, for those who have read along but haven't seen much in the way of these images:



You already have said you think we are far from historical, so leave it at that and just leave. We will not be changing every unit you think has problems to fit your personal opinion about what is truely accurate and what is not. You have control over another mod now - impose your standards upon them if you like. We knew very well what your participation would result in and I feel sorry for anyone who feels like they must accede to your every demand and opinion when it comes to Hellenistic arms.

Thaatu - "past experiences" that include many from this same user - most of those 186 posts probably also if anyone looked into it. This really hasn't happened a lot otherwise. A handful of other times when there was something serious that needed changing that I am aware of. Probably a number of other times when the answer was easily provided and the people thanked us and the matter was closed.
