Hi StrategyM, I just thought I would explain what is meant by Barbarians archers, Greek archers etc.<br>
<br>
The game will have a number of different cultures, these will be : ROMAN, GREEK, EGYPTIAN, CARTHAGINIAN and BARBARIAN. Each culture will have a number of units allocated to them.<br>
<br>
For example the Romans will have (to name but a few)<br>
- Triarii (Pre-Marian Roman Legionary)<br>
- Roman Legionaries<br>
- Praetorian Cohort<br>
they will also have a number of BASIC units, such as archers, cavalry etc. IMHO, having played all current CA total war games, that is all that is meant by Greek archer, it is a peasant unit that has a bow etc....<br>
<br>
In medieval total war as a comparision the English faction has a number of unique units<br>
- Longbowmen<br>
- Billmen<br>
but it all has basic units<br>
- archer<br>
- spearmen<br>
- crossbows<br>
- Peasants<br>
etc....<br>
