Eee, Bosporans sound like a fun campaign!

What sort of unit selection will the new factions have?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

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
God, Family, Baseball, Friends, Rome Total War, and Exilian. What more could I possibly need?

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.
