If you read the Fallen Angel's description you will see why he is the PERFECT fit for Pythium. For those too lazy to load the mod(cry) here it is:

A divine being in human form, the Fallen Angel is winged and armed with a flaming sword that destroys undead beings. Angels are surrounded by a radiant aura that intimidates cowardly beings. During the age of the Pantokrator rule, contact between mortals and angels was forbidden. However, during Pythium's violent split with Ermor, one defiant angel came to Pythium's aid in their darkest hour. Despite Pythium's reverence of angels - or because of it - the Fallen Angel was permanently cast out of the heavens. Even after the Pantokrator's sudden disappearance, it still wanders the mortal realm. Legend holds that the Fallen Angel, regardless of the cost, will always come to Pythium's aid.

Ah. Normally a "fallen angel" is a term used for angels which have been corrupted by evil and cast out.

I am fairly certain that Arco is based on Greece for the first two eras and based on Greece/Mesopotamian culture in LA (Representing Alexander's expansion.).

Adding Hannibal as their starting hero reminds me of a football team picking a kicker that was predicted to go in the third round of the draft rather than picking the Running Back everyone expected to go in the first round. It's true they are both football players, but still seems like a strange choice.

I suggest Wong Fei Hung for Late T'ien Ch'i.

Legendary Chinese martial artist, and doctor.
He should be given a very high defence, air sheild (deflecting arrows by hand), heal (he was a renowned healer), And the kappa bone breaking attack (give him 4 attacks per round 2 kicks and 2 punches), He shoul dhave a high leadership(he was a militia drillmaster)

the only problem, he lived in early 1900s.

I know. What a twist!! I intentionally made him fallen in the description because, even though he did what he felt was right, it was still against Divine Law, making him fallen.

My original description fleshed it out more but Xietor had to change it up a bit since it would have screwed the unit up making it mute like I had written him. That and you can't just name something Nameless.

Maybe I'm reading too much Neil Gaiman.

I will scrap the Hannibal name and use the title "Elephantarch." which si what Alexander called his Elephant commander. Alexander hated elephants, so it would be out of the question for me to use Alexander as an elephant commander and trainer.
