Make units from different cultures look different

The only negative, which is ever so slight, is for beginner players who may have a hard time figuring out "wait, what the heck is that unit coming towards me?" But everyone knows it wouldn't take much to click on the unit and see that it's basically the same warrior as yours, except culturally different.

One solution would be to keep the names constant and have all the units look similar. Like, the skin colour changes, but the basic shapes of the weapons and armor stay constant across all units. That way it's still easy to recognize units at a glance but still allows for that cultural variation.
 
Good idea! :goodjob:
 
You could have a set of standard graphics that a beginner could chose to use.
