Take heart, Danarchy, 'cause the preview also mentions that ALL the unique units are being 're-jigged' (my words, not theirs ) to make them far more useful.

Cool, I hope so. After posting this, I just realised the Numidian Merc and the Bowman are the exact same unit, except for a difference in cost . If they did add that Enkidu warrior at 2/2/1 without changes that would come out to 3 identical units. o_O

But I bet they'll make the changes they need.
