First of all: the ranking system of the Romans you've learned to play with in PAE V since patch 4 will be expanded to the Egypt, Carthaginians, Macedonians, Greeks, Spartans, Sumerians, Persians, Assyrians and Babylonians.
with those new ranking systems (works like unit promotions, but come automatically in almost every won battle) they are new officer units playable and I try to gave them their historical look (skin).

(well... maybe cost for irregulars is illogical for me as well, standing army is cheaper than raised irregulars?)
