I've also noticed some inconsistencies here and there while playing the Romans:

South Gallic Mercenary Spearmen actually carry swords
South Gallic Mercenary Light Cavalry have a Charge Bonus of 1, while their faction counterparts have 25+

Numidian Skirmishers have a Charge Bonus of 15, while most other infantry unit I've seen so far have a bonus of 1
Misthophoroi Hoplitai also have a higher charge bonus for no apparent reason, though I can't remember what it is

I'm only assuming because of the pattern I've seen so far that all infantry are supposed to have a charge bonus of 1 ... is this true? I expected that the infantry of factions described as "ferocious," such as Celts, etc., would have a higher charge bonus than other units.

As a general note, I would like to comment that EB 0.8 rocks my world. I was skeptical, as playing .74 was too bug-riddled for me, but was very, very pleased to see the results of all of the EB team's hard work! It is appreciated!
