The most improved unit.

[Populus Romanus]

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

[The_Blacksmith]

Easy easy.. The Ptolemaic empire :P

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.

[Moros]

I miss the bull warrioirs. :(

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.

For me it has to be the Seleucid 'imitation legionary' unit:

IMHO, the true replacement (in terms of price, general role, and relative stats), would be the thorakitai, not this.

but yeah, either way, a massive improvement.

actually, all the units are a step up: better balance, more realistic stats (though as I discovered, the phalanxes are too arrowproof), even better horse archers.

and no more Roman Lin Kuei. those units should have been in a mortal kombat game.
