I realize that EB is trying to be as historically accurate as possible so it is inevitable that some factions will have superior unit selections.
I was just wondering how EB, or rather IF EB, will try to make the factions balanced against each other on a skirmish battlefield. I know in vanilla there are some factions that are completely outclassed by others.
For example, comparing the Seleucids versus the Aedui, it is not difficult to see who has the superior unit roster. I mean, cataphracts, Companions, pikemen, hoplites, elite spearmen, chariots, elephants (I suppose these last two will be included) against the Aedui's not so up to par noble cavalry, lightly armored shocktroops, and slightly less than Hellenic quality phalanxes... Not much of a matchup in skirmish is it?
I mean it is okay if they are not balanced. It really is. For one I would perfer historical accuracy over compromises made to balance.
