I wanna discuss and share our opinions about units. Mostly about their cultural variations, and looking.
As i see in my playthrough, there's a few groups of nation looking. For example most of Asia, East-Asia: China (Han, Ming etc), Mongolia, Khmers, Hawaiian, Indonesian (Majapahit), Japanese, Siam have a plenty similar looking units.
For example, here you can see Ming and Majapahit cavalry, they're look same:
Same about Mongolian units, there's a lancers, but Ming and Majapahit have same looking lancers.
To be honest Civ VII has a lot of cultural variaty of units looking, if we compare with Civ VI. For some nations it makes sense, for Ming and Mongolian, it can be same, it can be similar, but Hawaii has a cool own special unit, why they didn't do similar ones for archers, infantry, cavalry.
It looks weird when you see Mongolian cavalry with this swords:
And the archers looks more Mongolian, Chinese:
I think it would be better if they use Khmer or Majapahit archers:
And the most painfull for me is commanders, for all asian nations same commander looking, exept special units, like special Mongolian commander:
Mongolian commander:
Ming one:
Hawaii:
You can't notice any differences between commanders, bcs they're all same.
And last one. We have quite good variations of units looking in antiquity age, not bad in exploration age, but modern, oh my god, only 3 variations of WW2 tanks, Russian T-34, some German, and US Sherman. The worst part for me, i saw in Britain DLC the Sherman tank, WTH?! Britain had a plenty of own tanks, just add one of them. At least it would be cool to have Tiger for Germans, and this tank that we already have for others, it makes sense that Japan for example use this one.
My owerall opinion is the unit variety feels unbalanced, some nations has a great models, some has just same as other. We have some small details to notice the Japan infantry from Siam, and it's wonderfull, why devs didn't add more little details to make units more actual for their nations.
Here is example of small details. Japan infantry has boots.
Siam doesn't. And it's great. You can easily notice difference between them, not only colour.
