There we go, they did not exist, meaning the mod is not historical.
>But this is what I'd like to call "Historical Fantasy" meaning that it DID not exist, but it COULD. Yes exactly, they added duplicates to make more gameplay variety, nothing to do with history. >Which there already are a couple of units like, but they added it because of more stat options It isn't historical, the names are made up with no basis in history. Of course the name matters when you're claiming the mod is historical. >Again, why does the name matter what so ever?, The fact is that by appearance the units are also total bullshit, they wear totally unhistorical assortments of armour, often which never existed in that part of the world and there is no historical record for. The names are the historical element, you cant just say IGNORE THE NAMES ITS STILL HISTORICAL EVEN IF WE CALL IT THE MAGIC SPEARMEN OF ZEUS >The unit names are completely irrelevant, just look at what the actual units are, spearmen with hellenic-type regalia >Dude you can't just look at the unit names and judge it all from that, you're not supposed to take the unit names 100% seriously they're mostly for flavour, It doesn't break immersion that some units don't exist but COULD are in the game, because after all you are not playing an exact script of history, you are carving an own path in it by doing different choices from what historically were made. Therefore, it is completely acceptable in my opinion. And I'm sure there are several more units like this oneīut this is what I'd like to call "Historical Fantasy" meaning that it DID not exist, but it COULD. Some units are in fact historically inaccurate all around, like arena gladiators being an army unit or like the immortals for Persia, which only were active 400 years earlier than what it is in the game, and their armor is completely fantasy-based. But who actually cares? They obviously add it for more options regarding their stats. The last 4 you named are literally just the same unit with different names, sure. Which there already are a couple of units like, but they added it because of more stat options The unit names are completely irrelevant, just look at what the actual units are, spearmen with hellenic-type regaliaĪgain, why does the name matter what so ever?, they are literally just.celtic "Sword killers". If you actually break it down and put the unit names aside, most units themselves are not historically inaccurate Dude you can't just look at the unit names and judge it all from that, you're not supposed to take the unit names 100% seriously they're mostly for flavour,
