The most improved unit.

To be honest i've never tried the nomad factions yet. Till so far only the Diadochi and greek factions and SPQR. Maybe i should give it a shot once :).

Pretty much everything was improved. Though the Iberians show the greatest improvement in my opinion, they had a useless roster in Vanilla.

Praobably Thrace/Dacia. They actually have units that portray them as a unique people that are culturally unique instead of just another generic barbarian faction.

solduros ftw \o also scotomareva rulle

what i deslike the most ? the lack of throrokitai for makedonia :\ it´s a big bummer the absence of those beauty´s and althoug the phalanx can secure a batle line better i like flexibility more

Oh definately, no more of those silly desert axemen or Middle and Late Kingdom units. The contrast between EB Ptolemies and RTW Egypt is shocking.

As described at the EB website:

"No more Mummy Returns Egyptians"

Anyway, a bit off topic maybe, but I think the most important overall unit improvement is that the stupid rock-scissor-paper system is gone. In vanilla RTW you would for example never use spearmen as line infantry (not counting phalanx units), since they would get slaughtered by practically any non-spear wielding infantry unit. The heaviest of cavalry would get massacred by levy spearmen in a few seconds. The EB unit balancing makes battles so much more interesting and challenging.
