Thanks

First up on the cavalry list are the Getic Lancers (Thrace own Campus Getae, lets give them some Getae horsemen
). They fill a similar role to Macedon's light lancers, albeit with a weaker charge. Their shields make up for that difference though.
The second addition is the Thracian Noble Cavalry. I kinda cheated a little here, they are just the General's Bodyguard guys. Excellent shock cavalry, recruitable from a level 3 stables (Hippodrome?).
I'm removing the Greek cavalry, since that spot is filled by the Getic Lancers. However, Getic Lancers will be recruited from a basic stables alongside Militia Cavalry. The second level of stables will add some horse archers, as yet unimplemented. Then finally the third level will add the Thracian Noble Cavalry.
That gives the following roster:
Barracks:
- Thureophoroi
- Thureophoroi
- Falxmen
- Thracian Hoplites
- Thureophoroi
- Falxmen
- Thracian Hoplites
- Getic Warriors
- Phalanx Pikemen
- Thureophoroi
- Falxmen
- Thracian Hoplites
- Getic Warriors
- Phalanx Pikemen
- Thracian Elite Hoplites
- Bastarnae
Stable:
- Militia Cavalry
- Getic Lancers
- Militia Cavalry
- Getic Lancers
- Getic Horse Archers
- Militia Cavalry
- Getic Lancers
- Getic Horse Archers
- Thracian Noble Cavalry
Range:
- Peltasts
- Peltasts
- Archers
- Peltasts
- Archers
- Thorakitai (Ultra-heavy peltasts)
The elite hoplites are those pictured earlier in the thread, they are similar to armoured hoplites belonging to the Greek Cities. Thracian Hoplites will be similar to the standard Greek hoplites.
I am happy with the (deliberately) varied infantry roster, that represents the blend of barbarian culture and Hellenism that vanilla failed to capture.
Maybe I will turn this into a "fix factions failed by vanilla" mod
