Re: POST HEROIC!
Good question. Its certainly not in EB 1.0/0.8x, so I had a look at the 0.74 version but couldnt find it either. Perhaps "old" standard bearers? A pike hypaspist that didnt make the cut?does anyone of you know what this unit is? i saw it on the EB site and i think it looks great.

The phrygian helmet/muscle cuirass/sarissa (?) combo is pretty sweet, indeed.

Re: POST HEROIC!
The unit looks like cavalry to me. Perhaps an older version of the Thessalikoi Hippeis? Hippeis Xystophoroi?

I was playing with mercenary Thessalonian cavalry last night and I think they looked like that. Or very similar.
Re: POST HEROIC!
Well as for Heroic victories: just had one. And in proper heroic style the game stopped working.

Have less than a 1:1 ratio in probability for victory and totally annihilate your opponent.

Wouldn't it be funny if you ambushed an enemy army with an army of 20 phalangites? Then you can literally form a sarissa phalanx box that encompasses the entire enemy army. Then you can slowly crawl and surround them... XD
