    Default The most improved unit.

    Hello all,
    I was just wondering which EB unit people consider to be the most improved when compared to it's vanilla original (or the vanilla unit it replaced).

    You may like a unit more because its stats are more balanced (companion cavalry), its recruitment area is more accurate (Marius era legionaries) it is more historically accurate (all British, Gallic, Iberian, Irish and German units) or simply becuase it looks better (Parni horse archers).

    What are peoples' thoughts?

    1. Slingers
    2. Phalanx
    Phalanx is made very powerful, but maybe as a balancer light forces are quite good to.

    Cavalry are no longer on motorbikes that look like horses. That's a vast improvement, IMO.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    Indeed. The Greek hoplitai units are many, many times more enjoyable to use now that they aren't in the restrictive phalangite formation.
