IIRC they haven't ben added to the edb yet. Presumably they will be for 1.1, or do it yourself. Non save compatible, btw.

They should have an entry in the DMB and ownership in the EDU, so it is only a matter of adding their recruitment to the EDB, which is save game compatible.

And yes, they should be in for Epeiros in 1.1

Culturally Epeiros is the same as Makedonia. Northern Greeks both, who stood guard while the rest of Greece was having a golden era, civil war etc.

One of the reason Phillip sought out the hand of Olympias, was to insure that at least one flank of his would be secure. Fighting the southerners, on the one Paionians and Getai in the other, he needed one flank secure and possibly some reinforcements should things go wrong.

In return, once he got powerful enough, he sent Alexandros of Epeiros (his wife's brother) troops with which he united all of the renegade tribes. This process continued under Pyrrhos, who is the first "King of Epeiros" whereas all prior to him were the King of the Molossoi, and leaders of the Epeiros alliance.

Epeiros at the time is probably the most neglected of native hellenic states. While under the same pressure as Makedonia, Epeiros didn't have its moment of glory (directly that is) as people tend to forget that Alexandros was half epeirote. (mom's side). Southrons would play their petty games, calling them barbarian one time, then go beg for an alliance to improve their standing and call them Leaders of the Greeks.

Can anyone post a noob-proof guide on how to add Hypaspistai and Pheraspides to Epeiros?

I'd really like to use these guys, to help out my Chaonion Agema.

How often do I say this?

Just check the scriptorium.
