Fairly New to EB - Some questions

[Fluvius Camillus]

Well most of your stuff has been answered already so I add some stuff.

1. Most elite units can be recognized by their name, they usually have elite or royal and sometimes noble. A unit with heavy in the name is usually not elite but a level lower (still very strong).

Apart from that it is quite easy to guess. Sacred Band for instance is easily catagorized.

4. Sauromatae all the way, I did a custom battle test, one group of Sauro BG (heavily upgraded) against 2400 gallic swordsmen. I think the Sauro's barely lost half.

But really, a good cavalry commander can use Sauro BGs to wipe the enemy off the face of the earth. Also the ultra armoured late Hayasdan, Pahlava and Baktrian fms are near invincible in the hands of the player. Saka late BG is just almost as good as the Sauro, only thing is they don't shoot arrows.
