In that case, let's hope either one of them was an old screenshot from an earlier version.

You can see they selected a unit, called Portuguese Arquibusiers and it's period is late.
So you see all the units. Select them and you see what period they come from. Like this you can me a multiperiod army. With Normans and Musketeers, or an Early Period Army, whatever you want.
So these 30 units really mean 10 units per period (when they have 3 periods (which think)) Some units will overlap maybe, and you can get very cool and different army selections (as Late Period units will cost more I think, as they should be better)

WOW THATS LIKE 10 UNITS OF CAVALRY DUDE

if you look beyond that description bar on the right there's about 10 different units of cavalry if you count them.

i dont see the point of having polish knights, there are only 2 differences between them. the first one being the fact that the polish guard have 2+ armour, and the second one being in the abilities at a glance section, the knights have may charge without orders but the guard dont, only for an extra 100, id gt the guard anyday, its like praet and urbz, the praet cost "slightly" less but urbz have 2 more missile attack and 1 more attack and 1 defense.

most images i've seen of polish knights had them equipped with an open-faced bascinet helmet. if a 'polish knight ' unit was included in the game at least make it look different.

also the lithuanian cavalry needs to be redone. mounted lithuanians used javelins and carried pavises for defense.

I've compiled the unit stats for known M2TW Polish units here:

I noticed this: http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/pol_hussars.jpg

Hussars
The first Hussars are thought to have been Serbian nobles seeking refugee in Hungary. The tradition of hit and run tactics of the Hussars found a fertile home in Hungary where they become influenced by the Magyars and the Uyghur Turks. Very fast, these elite lancers are equipped with light mail or brigandine armor and armed with...

Can somebody explain this, please?

I know that Serbian nobility and ordinary people emigrated from Serbia to Hungary after Ottoman conquest in 1459, but Hussars and Serbs? I only heard and little read about some light cavalry called “Gusars” in time of Depotat (first half of XV century), but my data are really obscure.

If you ask me, i would choose Polish Guard over Polish Knight anyday.
if you look closely at the ability at a glance section we can determine that:

for only an extra 100 florins you can get the same knight with 2 extra defense and an improved stamina rating (which is important), Stamina will determine how quickly your unit will become fatigued and you can upgrade the defense but you cant give abilities so yes polish guard
