With the axeman it looks like it could be a new barbarian unit, a new unit in the tech tree, or possibly a UU of a new faction and they made it a barbarian here just for kicks?
The thing I find interesting is that the swordsmen next to the axemen have been damaged but not the axemen. Maybe they are a throwing axeman? It's hard for me to identify the character model but it looks like they could be either a native american unit (huron?) or possibly african? Unluckily, these are weak points in my historical knowledge but I've read there were tribes that used throwing axes often from either choice.
I haven't seen a thread address the axeman specifically, so I apologize if this is a repeat.
Looks like multiple conlusions from others on this thread:
1) A Barbarian replacement for archers.
2) An Alqonquian/Shawnee/Cherokee UU with possibly Tecumseh as their leader. Would be kind of like how they combined the Celtic tribes with Boudicca as the leader. Cherokee could be in the Civil War scenario so it could be likely.
3) Other tribes like Powhatan or Apache.
All of these seem possible. We need more over analyzing!
