    Indeed. There's the Numidians (four flavors - skirmisher, archer, normal and noble cavalry - but dunno which ones Romani can get), the Garamantes in some places, forest elephants if the Romans can get them, and that's pretty much it. You want more "desert units", you head to Arabia...

    You said "Normal" numidians. Did the numidians actually have much in the way of line infantry?

    I really would have liked to see a more standarddized "Garrison" unit the Romans could have used prior to the Marian reforms, although it would probably be a silly enough unit it might not be worth a unit slot :)

    "---, normal and noble cavalry". Notice the comma separation. Their horsemen come in the mundane and noble varieties, remember.

    I know this is OT but I thought it would be the best place to ask, how do you pronounce the name of the numidian noble cavalry, Gldmkt I think it is.
