EB1 units?

[Famine0]

Many EBII units represent the same men as the EBI units. But that doesn't mean their equipment hasn't changed. EBII units wll generally speaking have less armour for example.

On the subject of EBII units: without every soldier having the same skin anymore, how will we see a difference between common units used by different factions (thureophoroi, greek classical hoplites, phalangitai,...)? For example Epeirote Sphendonetai were green, Makedonian slingers were pure white with a reddish brown shield, AS slingers had a red hairband and a greyish shield, etc etc

Armies back then were rarely uniformed. Aside from occasional emblems on shields, cultural differences (armour styles, dress styles, etc.), and ethnic differences (skin/hair colour), it will be rather difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

it will be rather difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

And that is how we like it! Makes commanding an army that much more difficult, which is certainly required given that we will still be dealing with a largely under-developed Ai.

If you look at this preview, you will see that those units will differ from eachother. Though not much.
