I included bot factional and regional units.
If you count just factional units then the average count is probably around 7-8.

So you won´t be able to recruit units from other cultures and use "allied armies" like in EB1? =S
Or some factions (like AS) will use lots of regionals while others (like the 6 unit one) will recruit their factionals everywhere, kinda like the difference between Persia and Babylon in Rise of Persia (RTW mod)?

The basic recruitment mechanism hasn't changed from EB1.
Hope that clears things up as I see I've created some confusion.

"The Europa Barbarorum Wonders Project" is still active, right? I made three suggestions today and I am about to make more.

I'm getting a new-old gaming rig at the weekend - it's a hand-me-down desktop. It's Core 2 Quad 2.3, 4GB RAM, with a Nvidia GeForce GT 640 (1GB) graphics card. Will that be adequate to run M2:TW (and thus EBII) on it? I'm mostly concerned about the 2.3GHz processor - is that fast enough?

CPU is related with unit size mostly. If you get lag in big battles, you can always set unit size medium or high instead of huge.

Don't worry about CPU, RAM has far greater impact and as long as you have 4GB you should be fine. I have a i5 SandyBridge laptop with GeForce 555M (1GB) and experienced this when half of my RAM failed just recently - with 2GB the game was unplayably slow on the strat-map, but OK in battles, with 4GB RAM it goes smoothly on max settings everywhere.

The project is not dead, but it is currently dormant, i.e. we are not adding more unique buildings right now, but for further releases we might - either as buildings as such or by adding the appropriate descriptions and boni to already existing "province" buildings. In any case I find the wonders thread a fascinating read and enriching per se, your last ones? CanOmer, not the least, so keep them coming!

The only setting that really matters to me is unit size - it's Huge or nothing as far as I'm concerned.

OK, cool.
