Suggestions and fixes welcome as always to make this a better resource. Norse I'm fairly comfortable with as they are my main civ, greek I've just done a little with.

You can find where gear is from (drops, quest, crafted) using https://search.projectceleste.com/ and see other choices there too. For crafted items ask in trade chat if none are on marketplace, same with items/advisors your are looking for. The community is friendly and generally happy to help out.

You can see the impact of various choices on your units using https://unitstats.projectceleste.com/

Astute observations, just sharing a few thoughts...

Hoplite
- Delian Archon, Shield of Solstice, Zahhak Light spear... as always units like these form a front line, but also need to relocate and lead away enemies when they cannot stand up to them (ergo a stampede of charging legendary elephants)

Gastraphetes - Zeus is actually top choice, and more budget friendly... always yields more damage than master hunter belly bow... but an argument can be made for pure damage belly bows.

Hippikon - Scathach's Immortal Reaper, Shield of Rostam, Garshashp's Golden Gorget ... combined these with Riding instructor solon (epic) and hippikons gain considerable damage.
If you are squimish about epics, go Sword of Bellerephon, but I do not believe Zahhak has a place in Greece, and should be used in other civs instead (Persian Immortal, Roman officers) especially since the people who need these guides would not be able to afford it, and it would provide a too minor upgrade for the cost.

cool, thanks, i'll probably hold off on changing it right now, and do a bigger pass once romans are out. I might add another column for excellent choices and move the Zahhaks etc in to crazy rich options column
