I am guessing that most EB players have noticed that there are units that don't match their unit description completely so I made this thread to discuss possible reasons that caused these disparities.
Starting with hoplites: Classical Hoplites, Syrakousai, Indo-Hellenics and so forth are told to have swords as secondaries but none of them really possess secondaries, was this due to problems with weapon switch mechanic? If so why the the hybrids like Hypaspistai and Baktrion Agema had spears as secondaries causing them to be somewhat bugged?
Peltastai Makedonikoi: description gives reader picture that they should have very good stamina but they only have good, odd if you compare them to Antesignani or Ambakaro who both have very good stamina with similar armor rating.
Somatophylakes (Makedonian, Ptolemaic, Seleucid) and Hetaroi: bodyguards have good stamina which seems strange considering that both represent elite units with similar armor, mount and weapons.
Even though I pointed strange seeming things about certain unit stats I did not intend this thread to be one where fans could come complain that their favorite factions units are mistreated so let's keep all sorts of bashing out of here.
Also I'm kind of hoping that answers to these questions could be given by forum members who are not part of the EB team, every answer they give might delay release of EB2 (maybe not directly but every question answered is always less time to some other activity).
Hoping for instructive discussion.
