Ancient Greek Faction

Is anyone working on one of these?  The Greeks were the first to implement technology into warfare so it would seem fitting to have this faction in the game.  If I can figure out what is needed in a tech tree, I'll be making one.

This faction should be able to use the Phalanx, not in the number of units but a scaled down playable one, using maybe a 6 or 8 troop unit, something like the turtle formation from the Romans but without the structure, a group of six to 8 that is only one unit, The Phalanx.  I'd use this in the faction.  The worker in this faction would be a Hoplite who, like mages could also be somewhat effective as an army unit.  The Psiloi would be the cheap, lowest army unit, like the stickfighter from the Indians faction.  This is all I have for now.  I need to do some research on buildings of that era.

Elim, please hold off on making any Ancient Greek stuff, Mark has worked very hard and I know that he has built at least a good working XML structure, and I'd like to do at least some of the 3D art, so this project is kinda covered, although I haven't talked to Mark for a long time.........

It looks like someone is making it already.  I'll have to come up with another idea.

No, this is covered Elim!

I'll be PMing Mark sometime soon to check and see how it's going.

You can't possibly expect something done in a week, we're going to focus on quality, not speed.
