Foot, what I think he might be referring to is the way that EB has a seperate unit for celtic swordsmen, spearmen and axemen, which would not the the way it was in RL. That's what makes the axemen stand out so much because they are the only unit to represent those warriors within the heterogenous celtic warbands (not referring to vanilla one) who used axes, while we have several units of different kinds of warrriors who use spears (because they are levy, professional and bodyguard, etc.). This is all based on the engine limits. In the perfect game, one would not recruit descrete units of spearmen, swordsmen and axemen, but instead call out the whole of the tribe's warrior who would be armed with a variety of arms and armor, rather than all armed the same.
