During the making of my RomeUnitGuide, I came across several oddities:
*The Britons are the only faction with stats for just 1 type of general. All other factions have 2 types: early, and normal (late).
*Although the Dacians and Scythians have 2 types of generals laid out in the unit description stat, they are the only 2 faction which don't have a specified picture for the early general (normally this picture will never show up, because the portrait of a family member is always used, but all other factions have these pics, so it's a bit odd)
*There are LOTS of pics not used. A greek one (heavy cavalry, looks like the macedonian cavalry), several numedian and spain ones (including pics that look like Iberian Infantry for Numdia, Sacred band Cavalry pics for both (called Royal Cavalry as picture)) and many more.
*There is one picture which is in the wrong folder: in the gaul folder there's a picture which is even called "Dacia_archer" or something like that.
*Several factions are messed up in game. The City Barracks from Thrace can produce the Phalanx Pikemen, but the Army barracks amazingly can't. Spain can have onagers in custom (and are defined in the unit file for campaign use) yet there is no building that can make them.
These were things I remembered and noted down. Some of these are pretty serious I think (especially the last point).
