What is the point to them? Why can't I just have a UU without having to build anything? And doesn't it make assimilation meaningless?

Without cultures you don't have UU's:confused: That is the point. In C2C you have to develop your culture in the same way as you have to develop everything else. Admittedly we have only gone about half way to a full cultural development system. A full system would see all of the current cultures (and religions) gone.

Without assimilation on you don't get the base culture of the conquered city. Very important if you want to build the cultures belonging to that base culture.

What do you mean, all cultures and religions gone? I don't understand.
 
You start with a tribe and as you develop you make decisions about your culture and religious practices these lead you to end up with a unique that has unique UU's based on your geography actions and choices. However this is a very long long way away.
 
OK. Another question: can I upgrade my Atl-Atls into Sacred Bands when I'm capable of making them? Or are they doomed to be spearmen?

EDIT: Forgot to ask, Arabia took Thebes, which was originally Egyptian, but a while later I noticed that it didn't say "Egypt" anymore. Is this a bug or something else?

The culture units can upgrade to more advanced units but they cannot be upgraded to by existing units. Thus you cannot use the old exploit of upgrading UUs into other UUs.

As for the Atl-Atls they can upgrade into an Archer or a Javlineer, not a Speaman.
