Just before my thread gets locked again by an over eager admin, let me ask the same question again.

Were there Greek Hopolites made up entirely of gay lovers? The reason I ask this is because I have just watched a documentary on Sparta and they talked about a battle where the Spartans were defeated by a larger theban force. During this battle there was elite phalanx units made up of men who were lovers and they were noted for their extreme dedication to each other in battle due to the fact they were lovers..

As I said in my other post a man in a phalanx had to trust the guy next to him not to run for the phalanx to keep its cohesion as the over lapping shields meant the guy next to you protected you from the enemy.

If this is historical fact wouldnt it make for another interesting unit the Greeks could use in the next EB patch?

Just a thought and a question because I love this game mod and the hard work EB guys have put into this project to make it so historically accurate.

Your thoughts lads?
