I know myrmidon are just (the "just" part, more or less) ant people, but I think they're also supposed to be the ultimate soldiers in terms of discipline. I mean, they're crazy, you tell one of them to fight the whole Abysian army, and he'll be out there. You tell on to jump, he asks you how high, what angle, and whether or not to take wind resistance into account.

I thought it could be something unique about myrmidon, to set them apart from all the other elite, slow infantry.

Just a thought.

"myrmidon A faithful follower who carries out orders without question." - Dictionary.com

And as Scott rightly pointed out, they're half-ant half-man. Thus formerly mindless beings that were given a brain. An interesting way to simulate this would be to give them 30 morale.

And, since ants come with some natural protection, probably raise the Myrmidons' base prot high enough to give them the natural equivalent to a 'full leather' or 'full ring mail' armor - that should be around ~10 I guess.

That should be enough to make them a very distinctive unit on their own.
