cutepuppy I find it incredible that you can deduce the number of units per faction from the preview of 5 or so units.....

With that silly thing on their head, they look like Turks to me...

Nice lookin unit...not a terribly exciting unit but hey...

Where are the Varangians?!?!?

Woodsmen would need a pretty big axe to cut down trees and chop wood. They could lose the decoration and I agree that he should probably look more caucasian, apart from that I think he looks OK

Yes, the axe should be pretty big, but this axe is almost as big as the man himself. Such an axe is simply too big to cut wood with.
A lumberjack's axe is not this big, the large variety would still be fairly short yet have a larger head. It can be used both onehanded and twohanded.

One type of lumberjack axes.

Even if this is too small for a medieval jumberjack axe, it would indicate that the given axe here is far too big.
