Promotion ability of Hastati doesn't seem to work. I tested it on map editor, i killed multiple peasants using him and he didn't transform to principes.

@Endru1241 How's this for a Light Hoplite?

I also had this one. But realized that it has a skirmisher pose. You can use it also if you like.

[Endru1241]

Promotion works with proper percentage, but what I haven't checked is - weapon effect is never used, when target dies.
So hastatii can be promoted only if enemy survives the attack to tell the story .
Damn it - back to sqaure one, I guess.

As for image - there is a point of my version to not have a bronze breastplare - it's an indicator, that they used linthorax or no armor.
This single piece of metal under arm is from one of the images, where I saw short metal stripe of armor on hoplite cloth-like linthorax.
Here's the image:

Oh, i see. I'll make it like that then. Thank you.

[Badnorth]
