    complete unit list with descriptions and pictures. Look at the Eastern Infantry, can you say pyjama party?

    There are all the other playable factions as well.

    I don't think that those are all the units, and the Generals Cavalry is very dodgy... a light javelin throwing General?
    Oh, and they shouldn't have onagers. Steppe peoples (I'm including the Parthians in this), tended not to be good at seiges. At all.

    Um...
    "General's Cavalry

    This general has a bodyguard of loyal and heavily armoured cavalry to accompany him onto the field. Armed with lances, these men are superb shock cavalry, able to deliver a devastating and almost unstoppable charge; they are then equipped with maces so that they can fight effectively in continued hand-to-hand combat. Like all general's guards, this unit is best committed to the fight at the point of crisis, when the general's inspirational leadership and the combat power of his men can tip the balance. "

    I meant the picture.
