Macedonian Legionaries

Description
DESCRIPTION:
As a big fan of roman legionaries and legions, I was pretty disappointment by the ease of roman campaign in spite of my best modding attempts to giga-buff the AI.
I am also a big fan of Macedon and therefore I decided to play both of these at the same time! This is a unit of legionaries recruitable by Macedonia. They are based on the unit of thorax swordsmen and they come from the same building, however they wield the famous roman scutum, gladius and pilums and they are trained in the roman style.

Note that is unit is not historically-accurate, but I imagine it as a sort of "what-if" unit.
I tried to balance the unit to be better than normal legionaries, but worse than the armoured legionaries.

The unit is able to utilize the attacking/defensive testudo and shield wall.
Of course the unit benefits from appropriate Lord/Hero skills and technologies.
Because I yet only used this mode playing as Macedon, I am not yet sure if the AI can recruit this unit, but i think it can.

COMPATABILITY:
This mode is save-game compatible, also should be compatible with pretty much all other mods i believe. But if you play with major overhaul mods it might not be properly balanced.

If you encounter any bugs, just comment/message me and I will try to solve them.

@GG01
For uploading the mod, it is import to have a png image with the same name in the same folder as the mod you are uploading(Rome II data folder). Preferably 256x256. The folder will probably be this one unless you changed it manually:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data
I hope i helped.
