EB's Removed Units (Nostalgia thread, not "how to get them back")

[mlc82]

Is there any place to see names, descriptions and pics of all the units removed from EB over the different versions? The Yuezhi units, those German guys with the 2 handed axes "who were trained to run alongside the cavalry as shock troops" or something like that from v .8 or so (the pic of them still pops up on the main EB page sometimes)? Just wondering for the sake of nostalgia, as this mod easily ranks as a favorite game of all time for me, and I'd like to see which units I've either forgotten or missed entirely, as I didn't find EB til it was v 0.7 something or so.

Edit- here is the Sweboz unit mentioned above, pic from EB.com:

They are the Merjoz I think.


I always like the Ethiopeian axemen.


Oh...and of course the Corinthian Hoplites.

Why were they taken out?

I'm guessing the Corinthian Hoplites were anachronistic, though I'd have liked to have them in my army. That is, if my assumption is correct and they're still wearing the Corinthian Helmet and otherwise equipped like the Classic Greek Hoplites of Marathon, for example.

Were they removed for Saba units?

Maybe I'm just overly caffeinated at the moment, but I'm thinking of downloading all the old EB versions I can find and installing them in a new RTW install to create a "best of the forgotten EB units" thread... You can still download some of the older versions here:

Remember Pontos's old bodyguards? they were truly awful, kinda like a heavy skirmishing cavalry that would die against anthing it fought.

didn't know you could download the old versions, downloading 0.72 right now.
