Just wondering , are the hoplites meant to be rated as poor in these two lists? (the puchase block where you can buy 12-80 of them)

Strikes me as "odd" as no other list in any of the expansion packs has its "primary" troop type rated as poor.....

That is very strange, and I don't believe I remember them all being poor like that during the beta...

In the TT IFR book, they are:

Downgrade Asiatic Greek, Italiot or Siciliot citizen hoplites to:

Before 460: (early?) HF Arm Poor Undrilled OF
From 490: (later?) HF Pro Poor Undrilled OF

some later mercenaries/citizens can go to average

Hmm I dunno, a horde of average medium troops is a viable option in a list...(actually very powerful) A horde of poor heavy foot?? Unless you take the ally (which only gives you 12 average hoplites), what do you have? 4 superior hoplites and mediocre (and few) cavalry.....

In the TT list it is optional, depending whether you think they were that bad or not.

If you don't, I suggest you use the normal PC hoplite list.

This might well be a reason to make the Colonist list less restrictive in a future update sinceit is optional inthe TT.
