    Default Has the Unit Compare not been updated for 1.1?

    I ask the question because of two things I've noticed.

    1) Some of the stats are wrong. For example Keltohellenikoi's defense in 1.1 is higher than that listed on both Unit Compare and the Unit List.

    2) There are quite a few units missing which are in 1.1 (but might not have been in 1.0). Bruttian pezoi for example are missing.

    3) There's still units in there which have been removed - like the Dosidataskeli.

    Now I understand that's a lot of work involved in updating it, but why include it at all if it's wrong? The Unit Cards were taken out of the 1.1 Recruitment Viewer for this very reason (as I understand it), so why wouldn't the same apply?

    Just a minor point on the Unit Compare, why is it listed by native name, rather than the English? Unless you happen to already know what the unit you're looking for is called, it's very difficult to navigate.

    No, it's still version 1.0, as is the Unit List. I think it's being worked on in light of the upcoming website update.

    You can use the search fields to look up any unit by name, both native and English. It's case sensitive, though.

    EB Unit documentation was generated for 1.1 version. I was convinced that I was working with final version of files but it turned out I wasnt.
    I was unaware of this until after release.

    Sure they are few units missing and maybe few errors but this are very rare.
    You dont withdraw whole book edition because it has few errors (and all books have ), and thats why EB unit documentation released with EB 1.1 is still official 1.1 documentation. Its in most cases correct.

    Unit cards are totally outdated. You will rarely find accurate data in them, thats why they have been removed.

    There's still units in there which have been removed - like the Dosidataskeli.
    No. I dont think so.

    Dosidataskeli are still in EB. Sure they are unrecruitable by default but they are still in code and since documentation is documenting EB edu it has them.

    Just a minor point on the Unit Compare, why is it listed by native name, rather than the English?
    Unit documentation is not using English names or Native names, it uses EB unit names exactly the same as in RTW:EB.

    In unit documentation you can search unit but whatever part of the name you want (and EB unit names right now consists of unit name and english trnslation that is in brackets ).
    What do you want more?
    You can search for "Goidilic Shock Infantry" or "Ordmalica" and you get the same unit.
    Or do you have problem with them being sorted alphabetically?

    Updating current EB documentation is not high priority right now, although I do work on EB documentation system.
    I did not plan to release update of documentation until next EB patch.

    If you cant live with it you can always freelancer my work. I charge 10$ per hour so you can have brand new unit documentation for your RTW mod of choice by tomorrow for around 30$ (with fixed text encoding ).

    Fair enough, just seemed incongruous.
