The most improved unit.

Oh definately, no more of those silly desert axemen or Middle and Late Kingdom units. The contrast between EB Ptolemies and RTW Egypt is shocking.

I miss the bull warrioirs. :(

As described at the EB website:

"No more Mummy Returns Egyptians"

Anyway, a bit off topic maybe, but I think the most important overall unit improvement is that the stupid rock-scissor-paper system is gone. In vanilla RTW you would for example never use spearmen as line infantry (not counting phalanx units), since they would get slaughtered by practically any non-spear wielding infantry unit. The heaviest of cavalry would get massacred by levy spearmen in a few seconds. The EB unit balancing makes battles so much more interesting and challenging.

For me it has to be the Seleucid 'imitation legionary' unit:

One could argue that the most improved units are the flaming pigs as they don't exist and therefore don't light on fire and promptly die.

IMHO, the true replacement (in terms of price, general role, and relative stats), would be the thorakitai, not this.

but yeah, either way, a massive improvement.

actually, all the units are a step up: better balance, more realistic stats (though as I discovered, the phalanxes are too arrowproof), even better horse archers.

and no more Roman Lin Kuei. those units should have been in a mortal kombat game.

I has a LIST!!!!

First of all lets go to the most crappiest faction crap ever came up with!! GAUL

Chosen Swordsmen, : Arjos/Neitos/Suldoros Massive imrpovements.

I consider the sotoraos and ioasatae much better than the incredibly cost ineffective Foresters

But the most Improved Gallic unit has to be

Barbarian Cavalry:Leuke Epos

Now lets move on to the brother in crappiness, SPAIN!!!

The only thing IMO spain lacked was archers and decent infantry,

so it has to be the Scutarii and Balaeric and Shepherd Slingers. The cavalry has also been a huge improvement.

After that the Greek Cities come in the list of Minor Factions, the cavalry is the only thing neeeding imrpovement here.

Still I say its the Scutari that take the prize

I believe that was the Silver Shield Imitation Legionnaire so they should correctly correspond with the Hellenistic Space Marine variant.

[Greenlizard0.]

Head Hunting Maidens and the Screeching Women, the peasant units, the Egyptian units, ...

I am glad we have a lot better units now.
