GAMEPLAY ISSUES
Balancing
There are a number of improvements that have been made to the Balancing of the game, which will change the way that the game is played.

Spear bonuses against cavalry have been increased (they were previously hard coded and are now moddable, in addition to mount_effect)
Braced spearmen (standing ready) now reflect part of any attacking cavalry’s charge bonus back on the horse
Adjusted most units’ charge bonuses to improve play balance (especially for cavalry) in response to charge code changes (which fixed an issue for higher bonus values)
Reduced archery attack for some elite units
Reduced secondary non-phalanx attack for stronger phalanx units
Adjusted incorrect shield attribute for several units (to reflect models)
Fixed Egyptian desert axemen armour
Fixed bug for early and late Thracian and Scythian generals

Strictly for RTW. You have BI, so do not use this patch El.
