Is there a list of which factions are more/less complete?

I installed EB last week, and I've been playing Pontos (obsessively, 12 hours a day, until my eyes bulge and my fingers ache). I just read in passing that their "unit roster isn't finished yet". I think I might wrap up Pontos soon -- I usually stop when I figure "I should win from here if I don't mess up". So I was wondering if there's a rough list of who's finished and who's not so finished in current EB?

Looking at the units I would say all are more or less 'finished' (in the sense that they have enough units to be playable and fun and can stand up to the neighbouring factions) apart from the following:

Pontos
Saka Rauka
Sabyn

I do hope Pontos has a really incomplete unit roster as the unit roster now is really boring. It is like taking any sucessor kingdom and taking away half the units, and given 2 galatian units and one Katputaka cavalry.

I like the unit list without redundancy. It makes admin simpler. You can merge depleted units, send them all to the same barracks for retraining etc.

I started games as Carthage and Armenia for a quick look, and they have three units of spearmen that all do essentially the same thing. If you take losses to 1 of each you can't merge them down to 2.3 and send the 0.3 off for retraining. It's a pain in the proverbial.

You'd sound like you'd love Post-Marian Rome. One unit to rule them all.
