Mercenary drapanai?

[Rodion Romanovich]

Afaik the drapani have pretty lousy stats though... die like flies to missiles, and are worse than most regular line infantry. Not my taste for spearheads, but maybe useful as weak flanking troops... To each his own, I guess.

They aren't merc they are used to have rebel drapani and bastarnae since they share model.

I did a test in CB. Drapanai against the mighty Seluecid TA (The armoured ninja dudes) I waited till they came close and charged at them before they get to throw their javelins (they eventually did after engaging melee) I routed those nasty armoured spear men. (then I did a test against Cohors Impretoria. Lost badly )

I played 2 campeigns with Getai but soo far I havnt been beaten by any opponents (not fighting the horse archers) with 4 units of Drapanai. I dont think any unit (except misile units) can beat the Drapanai around the Dacia region.

...although I can't personally understand why not just use the "rebel" slot for the reb Draps and the Merc one for the Bastarnoz... ATM the result is one somewhat superfluous unit entry.
