My take is that the "regular units" have nothing to do with what culture they've been placed under, for the simple fact that more than half of them look Egyptian, including one of the ones under the Norse header. If you look at the screen shots, the Greek culture has a cat in the Greek/Egyptian battle shot.

oooh, i was under the impression that each civ got ALL theyre own units. So i guess well be seeing egypt using Greek hoplites, and Egypt using Norse ships. Thats not cool!

I don't think that's the case. I just think CGW didn't bother lining up the regular units with their civs. The Egyptians and Greeks both have types of catapults in the screen shot, but they look quite different. There's already been a screenshot released that has both Egyptian and Norse boats, which do look different.

And those aren't ALL the units anyway. You think each civ only has 3 land units??? Duh.
