Which Roman (or mercenary) unit is least used by the AI?

[Rottweiler]

Hi,

I have not played EB for a long time and it's time to start a new Romani campaign with 1.0. However there is one unit I want from vanilla-RTW and AFAIK there is no room for new units in EB. So that means I have to replace one EB made unit with vanilla one.

The question is: which Roman (or preferably mercenary unit) is least used by the AI(when I'm playing Romans) and thus more suitable for replacement?

There are still 30-40 slots avalible, IIRC.

They are being aved for the new factions in EB2 (as M2 has the same unit limit as RTW)

Now, confess, which unit is it?

?!! Well, that's great news if it's true. I had to do same thing(replace some skimirshers with wardogs) years ago with RTR mod because I was told that unit limit was reached. I assumed then that EB has as many units.

Even better/worse: dogs! :laugh4:

I use them only to kill fleeing enemies. I also plan to drop their unit strenght/numbers 50% and make them weaker alltogether, so that they are basically useless in actual combat. They will be just luxury units for certain lazy generals who want to release the beasts and just watch the fun, instead of chasing a running enemy by themselves.
