We were polishing up the new unit window and thought it might be interesting to share since it shows off a number of new features in the game.

The stats you'll see are largely unchanged from the previous games with the exception of new Charge Strength and Charge Block. In Rome, charging is no longer limited to just cavalry vs light infantry. All melee units can potentially charge, but the success is now based not only on class, but also any bonuses they have.

Which brings me to the blue numbers you see next to a couple of the stats. These are the net bonuses the unit has from modifiers such as their stance, native faction, general or officers.

The last things on the page are the small pencil next to the title and the arrows underneath the portrait. With these you'll be able to customize your units both to add flavour to the game and also help you keep track of your units.

Clicking the pencil allows you to change the name of the unit - this won't be available for special units in the game like Caesar, but will work with anything you recruit yourself.

The arrows under the portrait allow you to change the unit's skin (model/texture) on the 3D map. There won't be many options for this at launch, but eventually this should fill up through mods and extra content.

I'm especially happy that the legions, whilst having low charge ability have a high charge resistance, so they'll be standing fast against hordes of light infantry. :D

The numbers in this shot aren't final, but you have the right idea. Legions play a hybrid role in the game where they've got high enough attack strength to use them offensively, but they are also well enough armoured to resist a charge (including from most cavalry if they're in a battleline stance).

Generally we're hoping that if you've got a balanced army, your legions will hold the battleline like the phalangites in Gold while you bring your cavalry around to flank. However, one of their key benefits is that legions are flexible enough to also fill in as skirmishers or limited ranged support when needed.

GiftGrun is right, crossing out the number was supposed to clarify that the blue number replaces the original. But thanks Alexander for the observation, that is the trick with gui design - not everyone interprets things the same way and its helpful for us to get some different perspectives
