    My bad. Looks like things have changed since I last played a Romani campaign.

    Regardless, they are Roman units in a Roman military system recruited from Rome's allies. Samnites are different.

    Pedites and Equites Extraordinarii are simply a picked number of the socii that were at the disposal of the Consular commander of the army.

    That said, yes, they do fight in a Greek fashion but similar regional cavalry will be available in Southern Italia in our next public release. They won't be Hetairoi though.

    Then why do they fight like greek heavy cavalry? They're better than a lot of greek heavies, including the Thessalikoi and the Ptolemaioi medium-heavies.

    Edit: ohh, ok, thanks Pillipvs.
