We don't even know if we're going to have Imperial Units...its certainly not a top priority for the developers. If EB bins all the Augustrian units (as it should in my opinion), then there will loads of unit spaces freed up for other factions. And with the massive amount of factions EB II will have compared to EB I, and the basically the same amount of unit space, they're going to need all the spare unit spaces they can get.

well, if you bin the imperial units than you would have to give rome more specialized units (like some sort of ethnic heavy infantry, and same for other types)

Whats wrong with the Marians? I'd bet about 3% of all the people that play EB actually make it to and extensively use the Imperial Units. Take that 3% and compare it to all the people that would benefit from new factions with complete unit rosters in EB II. I think that speaks for itself.

3% might be a bit high estimate. ;(

Point made then, I think.

It'sa good idea to sacrifice the Roman units for the new factions, at least the team get back something in return like previous cohorts and Praetorian evocata is because the current are fat boys
