I am the village idiot organiser at EB as opposed to a modder or historian so I may well be incorrect.

HE!HE!HE! No you're not. You're correct.

AFAIK, all people in a unit apart from the leader and standard bearer are identical and must remain so. Also, there is no way to depict visible injuries in this game.

Each unit in RTW is made of copies of a single 3d model. Each 3d model can have as many textures as you wish. As such, you can have a multitude of looks for a unit but not specifically diferent textures within a single unit. The officers (centurions, captains, standard bearers, etc) are independent and are added independently to the unit. They have a max limit of 3 per unit. So, the most variablity you can achieve is: 3 different officers + unit skin = 4 different skins within the same unit.

This for each of the factions that uses this specific unit.

Hi,

I'll just post this here then :)

Whenever I play RTW the Julii faction is extremely reluctant to spread towards Gaul, while the Scipii and the Brutii occupy their spheres of influence quite happily. Is that a common problem? How will this be addressed in EB, even though I know that the Roman families will get a major overhaul.

If I'm the only one with this problem, please ignore my question.

Well, from my short experience with vanilla RTW, the Julii are the ones that get by the best. They tend to be the Roman faction that expands sooner and stronger. But this is in the release version, so I don't know what is happening with your campaign. I stoped playing vanilla RTW in October last year...

As for EB, the Roman factions will get a overhaul but we're still discussing the many possibilities to modify them. So, it is too soon to reply to your question.
