Faction Reforms

[Mausolos of Caria]

That sounds promising indeed


On to the mountainboys- ANTIGONID MACEDON


Time of reform: Roughly 220 BC

New units:

Trallian Infantry? I had them down as mercenaries, or can we make reform mercenaries?

Kestros Slingers

Ahem... I can't think of any other units right now? They didn't have Lonchophoroi, neither new phalanxes or cataphracts.

That's okay, the less the better. We only have so much room

[Mausolos of Caria]

Hehe okay

THE KINGDOM OF PONTOS


Date of reforms: Around 100 BC

New units:

Pontic Pezoi
Slave Phalangites
Chalkaspides
Imitation Legionaries
Armenian Heavy Cavalry

[ahowl11]

I will add reform units in after all regular units. Just an FYI. I am currently adding in Carthaginian Faction units.

[Mausolos of Caria]

That's good, I'll just continue writing it all down here so you have the overview Should I split the reforms for the Greeks into different ones, or is that not possible with a superfaction anyway?

[ahowl11]

Go ahead, we will see what we can do

[ahowl11]

Check out the Punic Reform Section..
What do you think?

Seems Reasonable.

[Mausolos of Caria]

Aye it sounds good enough I guess, I'm not sure about the Libyan Lonchophoroi but it woild probably suffice for the infantry reforms.

[ahowl11]

Well currently that unit is not in.
Btw, I implemented the Carthaginians the other day, just didn't say anything :p
I still need to add their Libyan Subjects.

[Mausolos of Caria]

Aye tat's good then, and well done.

SPARTA:

Date of reforms: Roughly 230 BC


New units:

Euzonoi

Spartan Pezoi

Access to new mercenaries, too

Perhaps, like RTR VII, we could also make older units (Periokoi hoplites) unavailable, since the younger generation would be recruited as Phalangites from Kleomenes onwards. Roman and Carthaginian ''Line infantry'' should be similar, while the Diadochs would keep other archers among the Neocretans, for example.


ACHAIAN LEAGUE

Time of reform: 240- 220 BC


Achaian Pezoi

Thorakitai

Neocretan Ephebes (after 180 BC)

[Mausolos of Caria]

SYRACUSE

Date of reform: About 240 BC

New Units: Thorakitai, Roman deserters, possibly Syracusan Pezoi


BOIOTIAN LEAGUE

Date of reform: 250 BC

New Units: Boiotian Pezoi


BOSPORAN KINGDOM

Date of reform: About 200 BC

New Units: Sarmatian Cavalry, possibly Bosporan Pezoi


MASSALIA

Date of reform: About 200 BC

New Units: Thorakitai


AITOLIAN LEAGUE

Date of reform: 209- 205 BC (Philopoemen's reforms)

New Units: Aitolian Pezoi, Improved Hippeis (not sure if we would make a new unit, but the Hippeis/Heavy cavalry were in a bad state before he took over and retrained them. Can we alter the stats of the Hippeis with the reforms? Thus, they would be weaker than average Hippeis (Athenian or Achaian e.g.) before and stronger than the average after them. These are NOT the units called ''Aitolian cavalry'' since they are described as lighter warriors and are a Greek version of Hippakontistai, therefore improved Prodromoi.


Rhodes, Athens & Crete don't really need reforms I think. That's the Greeks done.
