Eee, Bosporans sound like a fun campaign!
What sort of unit selection will the new factions have?
-
They should be! For the first version, they will have reskinned vanilla units.. here are some details:
Bosporan Kingdom- Mixture of Greek and Barbarian units..
Greek: Militia Hoplites, Levy Pikemen, Phalanx Pikemen, Archers, Peltasts, Slingers, Light Lancers, Greek Cavalry, Militia Cavalry
Barbarian: Warband, Axemen, Skirmisher Warband, Archer Warband, Spear Warband, Barbarian Cavalry, Scythian Horse Archers, Scythian Nobles
Nabataean Kingdom - Eastern and Desert Units
Units: Town Militia, Eastern Infantry, Hillmen, Desert Infantry, Bedouin Swordsmen, Nabataean Guard, Peltasts, Slingers, Archers, Bedouin Archers, Arab Cavalry, Arab Light Cavalry, Horse Archers, Bedouin Camel Warriors, Bedouin Camel Archers
Illyrians - Barbarian with some Greek units
Barbarians: Typical Barbarian Roster
Greeks: Militia Hoplites, Peltasts, Light Lancers
Unique: Illyrian Pirates, Illyrian Skirmishers
There will also be reskins for the other factions..
In our next version there will be many entirely new units!

I'd change the pikemen of the Bosporan Kingdom for hoplites... I doubt that they were sufficiently influenced by the Hellenic kingdoms to change the traditional hoplites for pikemen, and I doubt that it was convenient for their geographical position, their enemies and their social organization...
And the same topic, will you retain the phalanx formation for hoplites?
Sorry for just bursting in, but I'm just curious about these topics...
-
you know I feel the exact same way.. It seems like it would be much more fitting if they had access to Hoplite units.. Im surprised I never thought of it before. Thanks for noticing as well!
In our first release the hoplites will keep the phalanx formation, but for the next one we are going to implement the "over-hand" fighting style
-
No prob, just expressing my doubt over a what seemed quite curious... and about the animation, you can try using the javelinmen animation, the only issue is that they will fight with their spearbuts, but does as a good replacement.
-
true, but we are implementing signifierone's animations, so you will get the new fighting style for the romans,etc as well
