Reviving Units of Antiquity Series
Added 2019-08-22 20:46:35 +0000 UTCI wanted to let everyone know that I am currently working on reviving our series on the units of classical antiquity. Which topics would you like to see us cover?
Ideas List:
-Immortals
-Sacred Band of Carthage
-Silver Shields
-Numidian Cavalry
-Baeleric Slingers
-Falxmen
-Gallic Heavy Horse
-Germanic Warband
-Cretan Archers
-Agrianian Axemen
-Briton Chariots

I think we will definitely be covering heavy cavalry units from the steppe and the east. Thanks for the suggestions

2019-12-29 20:30:19 +0000 UTCWhy don't you focus on Sarmatian and Alan cavalry specially their Cataphracts that inspired the Knights in medieval Europe and had a profound impact on European history? Also it is better to do an episode on heavy cavalry too and how they were introduced in the ancient worlds and which kingdoms used them extensively.

2019-08-23 14:25:46 +0000 UTCI agree with Dro Brush. I would love to see gaul/celt/germanic units. Even the falxmen I like a lot in that list.

2019-08-22 22:58:34 +0000 UTCI feel like Rome gets too much love. I would rather see a focus on lesser known units

2019-08-22 22:45:33 +0000 UTCFor that I recommend you search Kings and Generals. They did a similar series for both Roman legions and their auxiliaries. They also did the same for the Greek and Macedonian armies.

2019-08-22 21:35:03 +0000 UTCThanks! I was thinking of maybe adding something on war dogs and elephants. Eventually I'd also like to have episodes on individual Roman legions.
