I'm guessing the Corinthian Hoplites were anachronistic, though I'd have liked to have them in my army. That is, if my assumption is correct and they're still wearing the Corinthian Helmet and otherwise equipped like the Classic Greek Hoplites of Marathon, for example.
Not at all. The Corinthian hoplites have been reskinned, given a wider recruitment range and renamed classical hoplites. They also lost the phalanx ability.

No. There is still some unit space left.

Many German units were reconcepted (renamed, reskinned, restatted) because the new German FC was not satisfied with them. The Merjoz was the most notable casualty: two-handed axes apparently were a late Viking/Saxon development, so they really did not belong in EB.
