Excluding any link and content hiccups (of which lately there have been many), you should always use buildings as a base. So grab the tier 4 barracks of your culture of choice, and to the right you will see what units it provides as a garrison and what units it allows to be trained. These vary per faction of course. I usually go to the core unit production buildings to see what I can expect to field, then check out the requirements for these buildings (technology is my primary concern) and take it from there.
Apart from duplicate icons, missing content and bad links, my main #1 gripe with the encyclopedia is the lack of easy unit to unit comparisons. I want to compare Foot Companions to Silver Shield Pikemen for example. I want a quick and easy matching of the unit stats so I can judge which is better (on paper).
