    What do you mean with "Etruscan elements" exactly?

    Well I've never heard of chemical elements that are specific to the region, so I'm not sure what he means with elements either...

    Haven't you heard of Etruscium? It's slightly radioactive and decays over time, producing Romium. Tends to react violently with Punicium and Gallium too.

    Units or something related to their assimilation by the romans (about this last one it just came to my mind the new "peoples" buildings)...

    If elements of civilization is wrong, which word is more suited? (English isn't my first language)

    Well.. You have just answered your own question.
    Their culture is assimilated with early Roman culture. So yeah, the Romans will be portraited as Romans.

    I remember of Etruscans fighting aside the Boii and Senones, and even involved during the Social War...
    In EBI it was like they never existed...

    The answer is yes. More details will follow in a preview or a release in the future.

    IIRC when the Etruria region in EB I rebelled, the rebels were called "Etruscans". I don't know how else they could be represented by the game enigne. IMO they were not any different from the Oscans, Samnites, Romans, or any other Italian people that was part of the SPQR in 270BC.

    Probably we'll get some information in the province description.

    Well they wouldn't arm themselves as Hastati and Equites for example...
    There was even a Cohors Perusina ^^

    There is one Northern Italian unit that is composed of Celts and Etruscans planned, and another already done is Gallic with Etruscan influences in it's arms and armor. You could refer to it as Gallo-Etruscan.
