Kings and Conquerors: The Hellenistic Era is a total conversion mod for Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots that aims to bring the Hellenistic period to life.
Here, a Macedonian army of thureophoroi and hysteroi pezhetairoi is set upon by a large skirmishing force of peltastai. These happen to be the three units that are available to Macedon later in the game through reform techs. Unlike the Romans, the Hellenistic successor states start with a strong selection of units, but are hardly affected by the reform techs.

Hmmmm......do the thureophoroi function a bit like the vanilla Immortals, in that they have a ranged "melee" attack? or are they pure light-med javelin troops?
They function somewhat like normal javelineers, though they have a greater attack and more armour than the levied peltastai.
WOOW Fantastic!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
love this
Thank you!
Which reminds me - can I borrow one of the thureophoroi for Age of Darkness? I need the guy with the silver helm.
Yes that's fine. I suppose you'll be using it for an Adrian helmet?
Correct. Just send me the mesh. I will skin the units myself and then .... anyone interested in riggng them can have a go if they want. I actually have 2 infantrymen, you may have found them on DropBox although it cannot be said that they are appropriately rigged.
I'm dying for this mod. It looks so good.
