Kingdoms unit profiles at the .com ?

[Callahan9119]

I've just been browsing the official website for Kingdoms, hoping there were more videos where the first two came from. Sadly, no, but there ARE a bunch of unit previews, some of which look damn cool, and some are just... weird. To me anyway.

For example, the Byzantines are apparently going to get a sort of primitive flamethrower unit. Basically a guy with a big sack of Greek fire strapped to his back and a handpump. Do you guys know if there's any historical basis for those ? I know the Byzantines loved their Greek fire, but I thought it was only used in naval warfare, and maybe the odd siege machine ?

the chinese had a primitive flamethrower, maybe byz imported it, or maybe it came free with 5 orders of silk, the picture i saw even had that dragons head on it, but it was connected to a big barrel, dont see how it would be carried by one man, or with any speed. i read it was mostly used in castle defense
