--------------------

This mod contain the following stand alone units:

	*Legionary Centaur:It is unknown if the centaurs learn the ways of the romans, or the romans copy the tecniques of the centaurs. The only well known fact, is that during Caesar's campaing in Galia, a legion of centaurs serve under his command. This legionaries are recluted from one of the last wild centaur tribes in the deep of the gaul forest. As the regular legionaries, they are disciplined, fully armored soldiers, specially good against infantry. They main advantage that this units provide, is that the are almost as fast as regular cavalry, but unlike them, can beat up most infantry.

The Legionary Centaurs trow their pila at the begining of the battle, and then switch to the gladious for close combat.

After arriving the forest near to the city of Thebes, they try to copy the hoplites techniques with little success. However they adapt the hoplite panoplia to their own advantage, using the heavy armors that were already abandon by the humans.

Unlike their human counterparts, the Hypapist Centaurs are specially good against archers. Their heavy bronze curias protect them from most projectiles, and their speed allow them to dodge the rest. When facing the oponents, Hypapist Centaurs rely on two short doble edge swords to do the job quickly.

After negotiatin with them, they where train in the macedonian way, to keep the northen borders of Macedon secure against the barbarian raids.

At Philip's death, and without knowing about their existence, Alexander went to Asia, leaving the centaur tribe behind. It is said that for many years they continue practicing the macedonian phalanx techniques, until the tribe finally disapear.
