    One of the things i really appreciate is that now all units basic infantry have sword, or so it seems. All units in the pictures had a sword modeled on their side, but only the sacred band units wield it in their hands (and a lovely kopis no less, or at least a sword with similar design). Is there any confirmation on whether the Liby-Phoenician Hoplites and Libyan Infantry will have swords that are usable and not just modeled? I really missed the swords for Liby-Phoenician Hoplites when I was up against other sword wielding nations like rome.
    Only the sacred band uses swords and spears, the other units have only 1 weapon (the swords of the lybi-phoenician infantry, for exemple, are purely decorative). The reason is that, thanks to the crappy engine, they always quickly switch to their secondary weapon when engaged in close combat, so they act as swordmen rather than hoplites.

This is my first post on the forum so I don't wanna sound like I'm criticizaing you.
    I'm just curious. Thanks and respect to the team and their work.
    They are hoplites with leather aspides in the early era, and they will be upgradable to thureophoroi-like infantry later (with thureos and some armours like linothorax), but for now only the early unit is done.
