Found a new word in a thesis by the Canadian professor of ancient history, Mathew Sears: Thraikophoitai. This comes from a play by Aristophanes and it means “Thrace-haunters”.

So if you are interested in the Thracians, that makes you a Thracophile but if you go there as well then you get upgraded to being one of the Thraikophoitai!

However if getting to Thrace is not so easy, consider trying one of the five new and very interesting Thracian lists that came with the latest update and/or Wolves from the sea. For the first time, for instance, you can get a Galatian army with good medium infantry- if you use the Thracian army of the Kingdom of Tylis. Alternatively you can give the Thracian cavalry an upgrade by trying one of the two Hellenistic lists. The later Getic list also inludes an interesting mix of Greeks, Davison’s, and Grtic Thracians.The Romans are also represented with the list for the Thracian client kingdom. Lastly you can go for a mixture of types with a Thracian list for the period between the Celtic and Roman rulers.

Interesting tips.
