That helmet thing was some sort of "disdain of death and danger" issue, wasn't it ? Meh, the things warriors come up with to dispel the fear of death...

I can kinda see why they didn't want a 2.5m doru, though. I mean, where the fig are you going to put that thing when you need to use the bow ? The about two-meter spear the Persians favoured (of Assyrian lineage, I understand) oughta have been a pain enough already...

The bow was just circumstances though, wasn't it ? The more advanced and powerful designs concoted on the steppes simply hadn't spread that far yet.

Hang on hang on HANG ON!

Zarax are we really getting baktrian archer-spearmen? If they are more heavily armoured then the persian lot I could have a new best friend in the east!

Although if this is a wind up

Err, we're talking about different mods olly.
The unit I was talking about is featured in XGM, not in EB
