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.

Yay, cheers guys

It isn't possible to somehow revert RTW 1.5 (it installs as such directly off the cd) back to 1.2, is it?

Were they ever used in EB? I think they look better then this one.

I'm not certain although it might have been a wip model as that looks suspicously like a hypaspistai shield on its side.

Also I'm pretty sure these guys were never in EB.

Irish Hammer Infantry???

Goidilic Ordmhornaght to be more precise, they're still in the game and can be reneabled with a tiny edit to the EDB.txt

How about the freakish looking bugged skin ninja unit that I remember fighting in Thermon :P

No, the skin got lost (IIRC the skinner disappeared and never submitted his work).

That's sad, this skin really look better (more realistic to me) then the overdecorated vanilla like skin (sorry to say that this way).

I don't think, the current skin is overdecorated. Bear in mind that Indian cataphract elephants would be like a Ferrari or Rolls Royce among Hellenistic monarchs: THE compensation for every shortcoming they might have had. They were like the crown jewels of the army. So one may assume that they were quite decorated to inspire awe in the enemy and to show off with one's treasury.

Who were these guys??

[A Very Super Market]

Well, it says on the website that they are Teuton Mercs. Dunno what that really means, though.
