Seems genious and then we would have free slots for Burning Pigs, Arcanii and Rocket launching Velociraptors.
Your objection would have validity if the game allowed an unlimited number of units and the Sabean army was as well documented as the Roman or Hellenistic militaries. Two practically identical units for the same faction are pointless unless the recruitment range/area or level/type of MIC differs.
