Has anyone tried any of these yet?I think i read on the com that they have killer morale? Maybe these are the RTW version of ghazi inf?

it's really annoying that there are no unit descriptions. I have no idea what I'm shooting for in tech buildup.

velite glads (brutii) are pretty awesome.

12 attack, 7 charge, 14 def, excellent morale (+6 bonus i think?), and best of all... 2 hitpoints!!!

armor is low at 7, but they're pretty awesome shock troops, especially since roman cav are not so great.

the other glads aren't as useful. they're slightly better than velite (14/4/14 and 12/7/14), but by the time you get them, you're better off getting the ihgh level roman cavalry (level 4).

Imagine they'll be necessary in desert combat, however (assuming fatigue operates in the same fashion in RTW)
