Baktrian recruitment of "pure" hellenic units.

[MiniMe]

Why shouldn't they be as good as lonchophoroi?

EDIT: On the whole I agree with you, I'm just looking at it from the opposite end: I think Lonchophoroi should be improved, their 8 armour seems rather low.

Well, I don't like that current Prodromoi are very good in melee. I like them very, but if they were some kind of agile fragile lancers and thus unique, I'd like them even better.
As per Lonchophoroi armor... If that would be raised, who'd care about recruiting Hetairoi? Not me. In my current campaign I use Lonchophoroi extensively and their 8 armour seems to work fine.

No, but I did hear some movie/game adverts making a lot of noise, though.

thanx, now I know I'm not insane
