Makedonian Unit Roster Questions

[gran_guitarra]

I am currently playing a Makedonia Campaign and had the following questions about their recruitment:

Where can they recruit Taxeis Triballoi and Thraikoi Peltastai?
I presume that the latter would be in Byzantion and the settlement directly above it, but is there anywhere else? I also cannot find the Taxeis Triballoi, even in the settlement marked as being the Triballi Tribe!!!!!! I've been building regional MIC's though, so if they are in the factional someone please tell me.

What Galatian units can they recruit? Obviously the shortswordsmen and heavy spearmen, but what else? Can all their Celtic recruitment options be recruited in Galatia?

Where is Massila? I'd like to try out their hoplites (even if they don't seem to be anything truly special.

I noticed that they have Samnites and Lucanians available in custom battle. I can recruit them in Southern Italy with the proper MIC's right? Those would help greatly when I move to conquer Italia.


Why are the Agrarians so vulnerable to missiles? I lost 11 of them (between two units) in only two volleys of arrow fire. By contrast my Pheraspidai only lost one person. Granted they are uber armored and elite, but the disparity seems quite strange. Especially with Theurophoroi (who have better armor and lethality) available in more places.

What kind of Regional units can I expect in Getic territories?
What about actual Gallic territories, such as Mediolanum? Would I be able to recruit, say, Neitos (I love those guys)?

Thanks in advance

Both Taxies Tribalii and Thracian Peltasts are in Byzantion, Tylis, Naissos, Serdike, and one is available in Kallatis but I forget which. Taxies Tribalii are in the regional MIC all other thracians are in the factional MIC for Makedonia.

I forget how many Galatians Makedonia gets, but they get a good amount, in both Tylis and Ankyra.

Massilia is in Gaul, but only KH, Aedui, and Arverni can recruit the Massilian Hoplite.

Yes, Samnites etc in SItalia. As for Dacian or Gallic units, I don't know. I've never actually crossed the Danube or headed west with Makedonia. I always head east.

I have an older build, but you can recruit Triballoi at least in Naissos, Serdike, Tylis with a Local MIC4. In Ankyra you can get Kuruathoroi, Leuce Epos, Lavotuxri. In Dalminion Illyrioi Hippeis. And Agrianikoi only were a sole breastplate, nothing much.

you can also recruit the tinodatae (sp? the naked guys), as macedonia.

In Ankyra those units are with Regional MIC?

Just asking seeing as im playing a Makedonia campaign its so fun. Epeirus, Ptolemaoi (sp) and Arch Seleukia have formed a triple alliance against me! Im almost at ankyra and I need some easy to get fairly good non-pike melee units. Seeing as it takes ages to run Hyspastiti and Pheraspidai from Pella/Demetrius.

I can make Silver Shield Pikemen(Agryiasipidai?? hehe no idea how to spell their correct name) and the Reformed Heavy Pikemen from Pergamon which is good but Theuropodoi (sp) arent quite good enough to take on the elite of AS and Ptol. Those Silver Shield Thorakitai absolutely rape....

Trihemiolai are your friends. They cost only 100mnai more in upkeep but have stats increased by 50%. Thraikioi Peltastai are also good in cutting through armor and you can get them in Byzantion I think. (Factional MIC).

I've seen them being raped by Agrianians themselves... These guys rock in cutting armor, but in a hail of arrows they get pierced in droves...

Yes.

Where are the Trihemiolai from?

I havent got Byzantion yet. Pontos has that and im not quite ready to go to war with them just yet. They have a few full stacks around. Though when I do I will be recruiting the Traikioi Peltastai a fair bit.

Haha I had two units of Pezhetairoi guarding a street in a city one behind the other and the Silver Shield Thorakitai raped them both losing about 10 men themselves They were the last unit I killed off and only got them after everything else had routed and could surround them.

I dont usually like the Agrianians because they die too easy to missle units and I can only get them in Pella at the moment which sucks. Dont know if you can get them anywhere else.
