Description
As in regular BFME, units in the mod will be given an officer to designate their reaching Rank Two - however, these officers will be unique to each unit type. This is the officer for the Ekdromoi, who fights with a sword rather than a tall spear like the soldiers he commands.
Hmm, I'd recommend different armor. This guy is wearing a triple-disc pectoral made by the Samnites in Italy. Of course though you can take some artistic license.
Nice catch! We're making unique "captain" units to represent veterancy for each different unit type a la the banner carriers in the vanilla game. The Ekdromoi don't have much armor on their own, and rather than slap linothorax or a bronze cuirass on their unique captain we decided to use something a little more special. Maybe they were all mercenaries on campaign in Sicily and picked up some gear from traveling merchants? :P
