I installed the new 0.8 and first of all, it looks pretty great.
The reason why installed it is because I want to replay some important moments in ancient history. As for the rise of rome, no other game then EB suits for that. So I only play custom battles (the ammount of custom battlesites is AMAZING), but I notice that some units lack, like early equites, later principes etc. I know they are in the game, they are just not in the custom battle screen. BUt since there are so many celtic units in it, I wonder if it would be possible to add the missing roman units?

At least I have two kinds of principes and hastati and triari, guess there is more. That was really confusing though before I realised that it was different units for different "reforms" Think its cool to field to different kinds of the same units though since they look different and fight different.

Maybe I missed the principes, but there are only one form of equites, which is kinda sad. ;(

They are in there, if the game installed properly. Here are the positions in my custom battle screen, I hope this helps:

old principes: row 1, position 5
new principes: row 5, position 15

old equites (camillan): row 4, position 7
new equites (polybian): row 7, position 3 (peasant card)

I see. I made a mistake and misclicked on the scroll window. Now I found all the units, thanks for the help!

I've made the experience with 0.81 that not all units buildable by the romani appear in custom game selection screen anymore. There seems to be a limit of units that can maximally be displayed. However there will be a cleaned up alternative edu for multiplayer and custom battles in 0.81 where just the factional units and most common regionals are available for each faction.
