With the changes to units in HTTT, and the ability to westernise your military separate to your tech group (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10516221&postcount=25), are there still differences (even slight) between the units of different tech groups? I'd assume that there are, otherwise why westernise your military?

I am interested because if, for example, Eastern cavalry is still better in the early-mid game than Western cavalry, there might be some advantage in waiting to westernise an eastern nation's military until the optimal tech level.

Perhaps I should just be patient and wait four days to see for myself, but if someone could tell me, that would be nice :)

I was thinking the same when I read Brother Beans HttT AAR as Byzantium. Best to wait with the military westernization. If it should be done at all.. I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying that they also made the units quite equal.. Or was that only for the 3.2 patch?

no, the units are not similar.

if you westernise, you have a long period of adapting your military to become western as well.. which is not entirely easy.
