To make it quick and easy : There are so many changes between EB1 and EB2 units that you can count, re-count and calculate in every manner you want you will not be able to know how many new slots are available for EB2.

And if you ask to know what this number is we won't give you an answer nor an estimate.

Buhahahaha

But that would depend on how you have worked on the EDU. Did you start over with a totally blank EDU and are working your way up to 500, or did you import the units from EBI and have begun to "whittle" down the unnecessary and lower priority units to make room for the new faction units? (Yes, I know all the units will be "new" in that they will look different then from EBI because of the improved graphics and variability models.)

in everywhere i read about thracians they talk about thracian infantry and very much about them. In eb there is only thracian pelatists, and elite infantry and bastarnae. no normal thracian infantry.

the thracian peltasts I'm afraid are there for a purpose. you can even look at their secondary weapon if you don't believe me.

but not all use javelins and skhirmishing. some used only swords and shields and was infantry (like in vanilla rtw)

In an ideal world it would be possible to give some members of the unit javelins and not others, but it isn't. Besides, more Thracians would have had javelins than not had them so it doesn't really justify using another unit slot and you don't have to use them as skirmishers in any case.

i diddnt mean that. but the infantry wasnt skirmishers even though they had javelins, most of them. If they was using skirmishing it was in a much smaller scale, but that wasnt a part of their main use, it was only their fighting style.

If playing as thracians it cant be mostly skirmishers in the army. it has to be infantry.

you mean like these guys?

haha, or galathraikioi. really, our thracian roster is rather robust. there'll be some alterations for EB2, but i'm not sure i see anywhere that we'd need to add any units for the thracians.

Bastarnae aren't Thracians, and the Thracian peltasts are what you would classify as generic Thracian infantry.

Thraikioi Doryphoroi..? Literally means Thracian spear-bearers. Or spear-armed, can't recall. Something with spear.
