i was just looking at a file called battle.txt. Here is an extract:

First, look at the General's, Julius, stats. 'drd 40'? apparently they were going to include dread in RTW, and haven't. Now look at the soldiers. Carthaginian Chariots!! Celt Marauders!! Syrian Archers!! Why didn't they include these in the game, they are so cool!!! But now, look at his....what everyone wants....

Very interesting...

[Ciciocle]

if you look further into that txt, you will find faction illyria instead of greek cities!

[Epistolary Richard]

You'll also find mention of Night Raids as an additional type of battle alongside siege... and also the pants Bob standard bearer!
