Egyptian vs. Babylonian Units...
Anyone notice that their two special units are exactly the same? Except graphics of course...

I noticed too. I think it will help make the special units more balanced. If the Babs build their special unit, it will be more powerful than a standard unit, but the Egyptians can build their special unit and stay competitive.

Babylonian about 300 before or after Egyptian (depending on New or old Empire  )

Babylonians Archers are more expensive than Egyptian War Chariots. The disadvantage of Chariots is that they require Horses to build.

ahhh even more info! thanks 
i had a feeling that chariots might require horses...so do archers require any resource or are they just shields?
hmmm i if i had to bet i'd say chariots cost 20 shields and archers cost 30 shields right?
and babylonia bowmen and egyptian war chariots cost the exact same as their normal counterparts correct?
btw do spearmen/hoplites require any resource?

i still think the babylonian archer should be 2-2-1, or 3-1-1.

You mean Iron Working wasn't developed yet.
Iron ore was not invented.

They are still identical once they are built.
Also, an archer being more expensive than a chariot? Apart from the material, a chariot usually had an archer on top of it...

A difference between bowmen and chariots could be that the bowmen unit has a ZOC?
