    That makes atleast 78 units so far. Post if you can find more info about units anywhere, be it trailers, faction descriptions, or posts on the forum.

    Misc stuff:
    The crew on ships can disembark and fight on the ground. It sounded like they would be quite weak compared to normal land units however. Artillery may be able to disembark and fight on land.

    Sweet, we've already got 2 confirmed Pontic units! At least we know the kind of these two units, not their actual names of course.

    You forgot the Iberian swordsmen in the Carthage video. And the Suebic axemen/clubmen are in the same unit.

    They showed Egyptian mercenaries in the recent E3 video.

    There were archers, sword infantry, camels, and elephants. The elephants cost more than 2000 denarii. The camels and sword infantry were ~800.

    Can't create a full unit list, can create a list of units that are confirmed to be in the game.

    Thorax Hoplites - Spear Infantry ??? - Missile Infantry(Bow)
    I really hope this is a mistake.Thorakitai never used bows.

    Plus,in this trailer we see Thorakitai fighting as heavy spearmen,not as archers.

    I don't think that hypaspists are a phalanx unit but more a spearmen unit
    I so much hope you'll prove wrong at that,as in reality hypasts fought mainly as phalangites and in rare occasions as hoplites but always in phalanx formation (except in case of besieging).
