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.

Not at all. The Corinthian hoplites have been reskinned, given a wider recruitment range and renamed classical hoplites. They also lost the phalanx ability.

No. There is still some unit space left.

Many German units were reconcepted (renamed, reskinned, restatted) because the new German FC was not satisfied with them. The Merjoz was the most notable casualty: two-handed axes apparently were a late Viking/Saxon development, so they really did not belong in EB.

Its a shame that they take out these good looking units...(damn i love 2 handed axes)

Sometimes a (fantasy unit)isn't that bad

Isn't there a way to get them back?..(with very small letters...axeunits)

Notice the awful head and the woody limbs of the last version.

I hope that this big head and the fact that they are taller then all other units will be fixed. But that means to change the unit model.

I think you mean the one on the right side (never played Romans long enough to get them)? He is a great progress over the one on the left. For me the limbs and head are ok. And I would accept the woodiest limbs and most awful heads if they had no longer the wrong helmet and feminalia from the old left guy.

Playing the Lusotannan campaign I miss the super heavy ubar elite dosidataskeli a little bit. But the decision of the EB team to remove them was ok.
