Splendid tweaks, sir!
Apologies if this is already here somewhere but while going through the old Poly backup files I found a ToT medieval units pack by the legendary Harlan Thompson. Looks nice although sadly he saved it as a Jpeg *face palm*.

Play with me.
I kinda liked BeBro's units better. 
Used some of his units for quite a while before Fairline made better versions....Mainly his naval units.
He still posts on Apolyton BTW. at least i think it's him.

Is Poly even still around?

Just several users and a troll.
The OT is the only part that gets any activity.
They do however have a much larger roster of smilies

Poly is like a lost kingdom...Now overrun with goblins.
It's very annoying posting there as the security system is a joke. Basically it constantly flags your posts as spam if you have a few links in them no matter how many years you've been there while at the same time it'll just happy let any spambot sign up and trash the place. I get notifications about comments in my many project threads there (copies of the ones I have here) and it's rarely a legit human account sadly.

My antivirus says Apolyton is listed as a, "very unsafe site that may contain trojans, worms, and other malicious software and/or launch attacks on my computer."

Sounds like a nightmare. I'd advise people to seriously not post there, unless on a very hardened browser.

Sounds like a sad end for what once was the pre-eminent Civ site. It brought together the community for the first time, and was the happy host of Scenario League for many years.

Poor/ green hoplite levy: each man was expected to equip himself at his own expense, a shield and spear being the minimum to stand in the ranks of the hoplites. Any less and he would have to join the Psiloi.
Seleucid Cardace: The Seleucids continued to employ units of Cardaces from Media Atropatene until the battle of Raphia when five hundred Lydian javelineers and a thousand Cardaces fought under Lysimachus the Gaul. Changed the shield device to a Seleucid one.
Ptolemaic Machimoi were ancient Egyptian low-ranked soldiers during the Ptolemaic dynasty (323–30 BCE). 30,000 picked Egyptian Phalangites, known as the Machimoi Epilektoi - raised to offset the Seleucid advantage in numbers, fought well in the battle of Raphia, but revolted later on.

Greco-Bactrians and Indo-Greeks. Or how you take Afghanistan and keep it for two and a half centuries -the Indo-Greek kingdom lasted for 50 more years in the Punjab. In AD 10, it was the last Hellenistic kingdom to fall.
On this note, infantry from the Punjab (Pentapotamia) in Indo-Greek, Kushan or Indo-Scythian service.

Sorry asking always more yet,

have you considered proposing a declinaison of some of these units to equip them with a mino (or another local word for strawcoat) we could decline to other similar yet differently colored unit ?
Just spent the morning checking if it was already drawn in vain.

While scanning fantastic units working on the TES evolution, just got a flash in mind :
With a very little tweak using great work from @CurtSibling and @Catfish I shall thank a LOT, here's a try of an ashigaru with a mino.
Only gave it a quick try to keep track of it :

An Akaviri, maybe?
