C&D's GREEKS: roster expansions and megapack

CYRENAICA
As hinted in the intro, we that that the Cyrenaic Pentapolis was enriched by trade, but that all Cyrene supplied to their spartan allies in times of need was... two triremes. Cough. We can assume that military strength was not its strong suit. In addition, they probably had to rely on natives to bolster their decent greek manpower which was although limited. We have therefore expanded its roster by giving them native african auxiliaries (spearmen, mounted skirmishers and melee cavalry) on top of a limited greek pool of light hoplites and buffed thureos spears. The key to overcome heavier armies will be mobility and coordination between african and greek forces. Also, elephants. To balance out the 'lightness' of the roster, the garrisons have been buffed from the egyptian mess that they were.

Vanilla units' additions:
- Light, Citizen, Thureos Hoplites
- Carthaginian Citizen Militia (placeholder for richer citizen hoplites)
- Greek Pikes
- African Large Shield Warriors and African Skirmisher Cav
- Thureos Hexeres and Tetreres

New Units:
- Pentapolitan Thureos Spears:
Your bread and butter infantry unit. Buffed thureophoroi accustomed to african warfare. They replace the standard land thureos spears.
- Pentapolitan Cavalry:
Advanced skirmisher cavalry, with decent defensive stats and very choppy melee capabilities that make them deadly against anything short of hoplites or thorax swords comparables. BarracksIII.
- Cyrenaic African Riders:
Sword and board melee cavalry, slightly superior to the Aetopian and Arabian cav. Still untrained but killy. For all your quick chopping needs. BarracksII.
- Cyrenaic African Skirmishers:
Replace the lighter african skirmishers with the BarracksIII research, for better armour and slightly better stats. Still untrained.
- Cyrenaic African Metoikoi:
Your practical shieldwall. Replace Large Shield Warriors during Hellenisation and packed with better armour and stats, plus ShieldScreen ability.
- Lybian Tribal Axemen:
Your odd troop. They are deceiptevely choppy and stealthy with non existant defensie stats (warhammer 40k orks would be proud of them). Use them wisely. Auxiliary Barracks III+, capped at 15 to simulate a limited manpower without putting in an AoR.
