Theban Sacred Band

Description
hello and behold my third unit mod, by request, the theban sacred band.

Very reliable heavy swordsmen, who will fight to the end for their commander.

As was requested by ioanniskotsi, They are in custom battle and in campaign, for the factions of athens, selucid. epirus and macdedon. And can be recruited from The Royal Barracks. Their abilities are shield wall, testudo, and rapid advance.

They are tested and fully compatible with most things, as they are a brand new unit, and are also compatible with my other unit mods, found first in the comments page, or of course just click my name :)

Any advice at all is welcomed, and any suggestions will be considered!

It is a big story and none can tell for sure..The Thebans we a mix of 3 tribes...Kadmioi were Ionians(from Kadmos)..Minees(Thessally..an Aiolian tribe of Hellenes) and Boiotians an other Aiolian tribe)...now to our bloody business..the Lakedaimons were not tanned..nor the rest of ancient hellenes Lakedaimon and Makedon are the same tribe..they were pure white which utterly categorized them to Hellenes and not Hellenes or Aristocrats and lesser men..The Omoioi spartans were all pure light..they were Dorians descend from ancient Fthia in central Hellas who were cast out from KADMIOI to northern Hellas and took the name MAKEDNOI(oh yes Makedon are relatives to Sparta).....So Thebans were white like the pure Hellenes as they come from Deukalion one of the founders of Pelasgians-Hellenes So dont put beards ,,lighten the skin, long hair and prime (sacred band were athletes) and pretty for sure..

@ dimitili - And may i ask sir, what was the complexion of the Thebans, was it more tan and grizzled like Lacedaemons? or were they more cut and prime, pale and pretty, like Macedonians and Athenians? So i know what skin types to give them

Well i was born in Sparti, a municipality of Laconia, Greece. It lies at the site of ancient Sparta. That tale is very close to me, its cool to see so many folks who know our history as well
