[Squirrelloid]

digression: kennydicke, varyags have *nothing* to do with the swiss guard, who derived from the swiss pikemen mercenaries. Technically, the swiss guard is the last swiss mercenary troop in existence, although they are hardly mercenary now.

back on Topic: Burnsaber, this sounds really cool. I definitely support toning Pythium down, and I like the idea of flamethrowers =). I'd give them more than 1 shot so they have tactical uses rather than being a curiosity. Maybe make the sprite have 2 men (1 carrying the fuel supply!) and make the unit size 3. 3-5 shots seems reasonable. It would be sort of like recruitable fire drakes for range, but without the beefy hps.
