I have a fix for the persian and yamato, but was unaware of the minoan and choson bugs you have mentioned. I will test these out when I get home.
IIRC AoE had some bug with egyptian war elephants + iron shield? obviously this must have been fixed for RoR as iron shield would have given armored eles.
Basically, the "techage" was poorly implemented (for people who are familiar with AoEd/RoRd) in AoE. A tech was disabled and ES must have presumed that they would not need to disable all the subsequent techs (e.g. centies for persians). These bugs will not affect RM or DM, just scenarios set to post-iron (again, IIRC but DM only goes as far as the iron age?).

Interesting...i never played any campaign in AoE, however, are you sure one isn't Minoan at AoE?

Rasteve,
I am not familiar with any situations where Egyptians War Elephants benefit from pierce armor. Do you know anything more specific about this?
Suppiluliuma,
I have methodically tested each civlization's units to find the post-iron anomalies listed.
Fruktfisk,
Perhaps one would use the Minoan civilization for Athens in AOE to emphasize their superior naval forces.

Rasteve,
Thanks for pointing this out.
To carify: In AOE Post-Iron Age, all Egyptian Barracks and Academy units [either placed or trained] receive +1 Pierce Armor save the placed Legion.

just edited my previous post - re minoan and choson.
on the egyptians - strange how legion does not receive shield. maybe no post-iron civ receives iron shield???

Rasteve,
Placed Broad and Long Swordsman are never upgraded in post-Iron regardless of the civilization chosen [no pun intended]. [You will see that I listed both under the general category of Units When Placed That Are Not Upgraded As Expected.]
Fruktfisk,
Indeed, you are correct.
I was testing Egyptian infantry on my laptop with Phatfish's Late Beta last night. In this version, the placed Egyptian post-Iron Legion does not get +1 Pierce Armor.
I just tested the same thing in AOE, and the placed Egyption post-Iron Legion does get +1 Pierce Armor.
Curious.
