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

I don't care much for the redundancy, because I buy troops based on their pretty factor ("This guy looks awesome, I'ma buy some" kind of thing), so mine all get slaughtered to a point where it isn't worth retraining.

Well, that's fair enough. But I wonder: if you are interested in appearance over gameplay, why not play Medieval 2 with its slick new graphics instead of a realism-oriented RTW mod? I don't mean this sarcastically, I'm curious.

Uh, what are ya talking about? Some EB units look fantastic. And M2 looks like the artist was on LSD.

My computer can't run it, and with EB, why would I want to? I also like the EB time period much more. And also, I'm a fan of history and a slight stickler for accuracy at that, and M2 wouldn't help me there.

Don't get me wrong, I go gameplay over appearance more often than not; I should've elaborated, as I do hire troops on stats a lot, but when I have a variety to choose from to fill a stack, I pick which one looks cooler (I always have a constant number of hastati, principes and triarii, I just try to fill up my stack) since it doesn't matter, as I'm using them as meatshields for my prescious faction troops. "Iberi Milites or Iberi Caetrati? I'unno, the Caetrati look kinda' bitchin' with their sword thing, so I'll get them."

Then I try the others and eventually pick my favorite. I concluded that the Samnite Heavy Infantry are BAMFs after losing a few units of the spearman version and having all of my heavy infantry version left.

God, I always type more than I need to
