    Default Unit changes in EB 1

    You are going to add many new units, redo the Sweboz unit tree, but I want to know what happens with old units. Will they remain or will you remove a lot of them? Please, tell some units which will be removed. I know about equites ambakaro from the worst unit thread.

    Well we lumped all horse archers in one unit like all catphracts. Most celtic units have been killed also (because they were overpowered) there are only 2 remaining : spear-warband and sword-warband. The camillan and polybian roman roster have been deleted to make some room. And the hellenic has to drop some units also, no more argyraspidai, thorakitai, hetairoi, prodromoi etc....

    I want elite Pandapadoi and javellin-skirmisher elephants

    Okay I don't really know, I imagine one or two of the less useful/common EB units may have been removed, and I'm sure there are still a few "placeholder" units around. IIRC the team did plan the extra units beforehand though, and therefore do have at least SOME free unit slots.

    Wait for someone in the know for a definitive answer though, although I'm sure they'll be loathe to share their secrets when it comes to unit roster details

    I give you teasers and you want more?

    No wait, that's what teasers are for.

    Well as Spendios said, we have removed many units as we feel that our previous unit list was just too complex and we wanted to appeal to a wider audience.

    I hope you get rid of all those annoying "regional" units. They were so pointless and confusing! I hope Eastern Infantry are back for all Eastern factions!

    Apparently the EB fans are so gullible that they would buy a door from a door-to-door salesperson. Oh so many good ideas.

    Foot, your post showed no signs of joking....that was why it was so great. Your clearly aligned with the forces of evil...almost every other member adds a smilie or gives some sort of sarcastic comment. You are an enigma, friend. Who the hell knows if your pissed, happy, joking, etc., because your posts always look the same.

    You have the eyes and minds of thousands of EB fans on you everyday, and you tease them mercilessly.

    Thank goodness you aren't president (or PM, depending on where you live I guess).

    Sincerely
    A Gullible EB Fan
