what version of the game do i have to use this with as it is out of date fir the current one

"even though sparta defeated them in the peplo war" - learn some history, pal. "Sparta" (actually: pelopponesian league...!) did not win against "Athens" (actually: Attican League (for some odd reason wiki calls it "Delian league"; I don't think that is consistent with Thukydides...); but not as graven an error as the other one) by a superior navy; they actually weren't up to snuff, even with their allies. Many times they just transported their navy across land, to flank the superior athenian fleet... their strength was and always has been their land troops! - bonus fact: they got the help of the behated Persians at some point... so much for the great defenders of freedom ^^

So, yeah... Athens, at that time, had a superior navy (probably the strongest in the world?), Sparta, for the most part, didn't have any navy... the pelopponesians in general feared and tried avoiding sea-battles with the superior Delian/attican league, like the latter tried avoiding land battles with the former!

outdated / unplayable; any alternative?

athens should have marines. shame. even thoughb sparta defeated them in the peplo war :/

Cataph, can you make a mod that give the grand campaign Athens access to its Armoured Hoplite Marines from WoS?

is this a historical unit?

Woot! Many thanks!

Already done, check my workshop. ;)

This is really cool. It's nice to have some dedicated marine troops, just for the feel of things. Any chance you could make a Carthiginian version, perhaps with falcatas instead of spears? I know they historically preferred ramming to marines, but still. Either way, keep up the good work. ^^

Finally, ive been looking for this for ages.

YES A MARINE UNIT!!!!!!!!!!

We could assume they employed some cretan archers but that would be a bit overkill, since the only faction fielding elite archers on their ships is the Seleucid Empire, and they are known as cheating ****s worldwide. :P

never mind it worked second time i tried!

btw could you make an mod with missle marines, not overpower but somewhat better than the commom achers wich look like farmers?

If that's the out-of-date sign, it's basically harmless. Working on my pc, let me know if the game is actually looping at startup! And if that's the case, please state what other mods you are using that might be incompatible.

it doesnt work, there is an ! sign
