I loved MTW, it was fun, challenging, and made you loose tons of sleep (who needs sleep anyway?), but what I hated was that there was almost no unique units. All you had was spearmen, archers, hobilars, steppe cavalry, swordsmen, etc, etc... In Rome, there was a lot more that was unique, and although culture groups shared basic units, each faction had many special units to build. I hope this will be the case in M2TW. I for one don't want my army to be facing an enemy army of exactly the same troops. M2TW should be even more unique like that than RTW.
What do you all think? Are you for or against unique units?
