You may even be able to change their name so that in your games they are called Nubian Archers (although I don't know what the native tongue name would be).
"The word 'Libya' means Africa, and so the majority of Africans came to be known as 'Libyans' to the Greeks. The major distinction that the Greeks made was when it came to colour. They generally referred to all negroid African populations as 'Ethiopians' and all others as 'Libyans'."

The Ethiopian units cover all the negroid African units in EBI, and will do so in EBII. I believe that, even still, there are some specific Nubian units that were open as regionals and particularly for Saba. I might be wrong.
