    I'd like to see wardogs, flaming pigs, screeching woman, druids, head hurlers, fire spitters, big macho berserkers, dual wielding stealth ninjas, dragons, giants, big giantkiller robots, daemons of khorne, Sauron, The Emperor and ever other fantasy unit imaginable.

    Also welcome to the forums .

    If CA comes up with silver shield legionaries while there are historical hints that these bad asses walked around I'll be disapointed

    Wardogs and Gladiators.

    Wardogs because they're efficient at catching routing troops and I may need them to cause some routes if things get mad. Gladiators, because it's pretty logical really. Whenever you want to make up your numbers with people you don't care about but still pack some skill, you use them

    Screeching legionaries.


    seriously though, the triarii, Caesarian legionaries (if they are even in the game, that is), and some good ol' auxilia

    edit: also, nobles from the gallic tribes, Epirote phalangites, companion cavalry, oh by the gods there are so many.... Also, here's to hoping the Italic peoples have some unique units (even though they aren't playable........yet!). I would love to see some Etruscan and Venetic units, and hopefully command them in the future! I wander if the Linen Legion made it into the game; they'll definitely provide Rome with a challenge while taking the peninsula

    They're shown in CA's latest video.
    EDIT: Also, their unit card portrait looked pretty sweet as well. I liked it...a lot!
