    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.
    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)

    Yes, that Corinthian "Hoplite" looks more like an Attic Phalangite, to tell you the truth.
    They look much better now.

    Thank you, Ludens, for the clarification and Bobbin for the pictures.
    To settle the deal between Romans and Greeks once and for all... both Italy and Greece are in deep s*** at the moment. Do you really think who had the biggest spear in antiquity makes any difference?

    Well, the "Install EB .7 something and make a forgotten unit shrine idea isn't going so well- I gave my old RTW game to a friend once I bought the TW Eras set, and I think I'm stuck with an instantly installed RTW 1.5 now, while old EB requires 1.2 to even run. I can't even get it to start, and patching 1.2 over the later install didn't work either. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the added units in this thread as well! I'd like to get a set of the unit pictures, names, and full descriptions, again for curiosity/nostalgia's sake, just not sure how to accomplish it yet...

    I'm pretty sure one of the mods included in Lz3's modpack includes a revert back to the old cohort skin. I've got it installed but haven't made it anywhere near getting imperial units in my Roman campaign...

    You can download the old versions from here

    What i did was install the game into a empty folder so you have all the files. All the UI pics,textures and unit models were in a .pak file so i had to get a pak extractor to get at them (theres a few in the modding sections of the forums). The descriptions of the units will be in the text folder found in the EB directory, in a file called EXPORT_UNITS.txt.

    It's a real pity the Aithiopikon Agema and the Merjoz didn't fit into the EB timeframe.
