Fire lance and cathapract (greek unit in the beta), should be the first units to be replaced/removed when they will rework china.

Chinese really had Cataphract.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mythology
First sentence: "Chinese mythology (simplified Chinese: 中国神话; traditional Chinese: 中國神話; pinyin: Zhōngguó shénhuà) is mythology that has been passed down in oral form or recorded in literature in the geographic area now known as Greater China."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_China
"The term has also been used in reference to Chinese irredentism in nationalist contexts, such as the notion that China should reclaim its “lost territories” to create a Greater China.[13][14]"
"In the 1930s George Cressey used it to refer to the entire Chinese Empire, as opposed to China proper.[15] Usage by the United States on government maps in the 1940s as a political term included territories claimed by the Republic of China that were part of the previous Qing Empire, or geographically to refer to topographical features associated with China that may or may not have lain entirely within Chinese political borders.[15]"

Everyone at some point had cataphract, it simply was basic armored cavalry introduced for the first time by Persians.

Thing is EE screwed everything up as usual when they introduced the unit lol.

They'll probably hire the guy who did the TOTD art to make poor quality versions of the male and female god portraits to look less powerful, iconic and especially for the goddesses: beautiful, replacing them instead with ambiguously brown (with Egyptians being Nubian black for some reason) snarky (take that proud boys!) hideous fat people...

I guess...
It's weird to me. The norse vikings in the game are caricatures too, but no one thinks this is insensitive to me and my people. Will no one ever consider my feelings???

I'm not a particular fan of wokeism and the general over-sensitivity towards anything that could be deemed even mildly inappropriate but this is a pretty silly comment. Norse people haven't been singled out by other cultures in terms of slavery, exploitation, colonization, institutionalized racism and so forth.

That being said, it's not like they don't try - Sweden tried to ban certain runes/nordic symbols still used by Asatru and pagans in an attempt to combat racism.

In the mission Union the clansman's daughter you save at the end of the mission has an rather ugly portrait and the description mentions she has a nice personality. If the game was released today I'm sure it would spark some controversy.

I hope at least the Greeks will have a homosexual military unit, in order to bring representation for LGBTQIA+ characters.
