A big advantage of a simulator is that it would improve our ability to balance the units, nations, and PD. I'm playing Pythium MA solo right now and I'm pretty shocked how strong its PD is compared to other nations I've played. The AI is clearly underestimating it. Is the Pythium PD too strong for the cost? It's hard to say without a more rigorous test and that's not too practical at present.

The manual lists it as Velites, 2xAlae Legionnaires, and Hastati after PD 20+. Do they have something else in addition? Slingers?
I think any third types of units received in PD under 20 aren't included.
It doesn't sound that powerful, though. Lots of chaff, albeit with a slightly better morale than is usual, and some good infantry as well. Tien Chi gets 3 Footmen and 1 Imperial Footman after 20+, but that isn't good either. Marignon gets Pikeneers and Crossbowmans, and Halberdiers after PD 20+; that's much better IMO. They get ranged units AND infantry. Then there's Mictlan, which gets Jaguar Warriors!
