I've decided to divide all units into six groups, that differ slightly from the original unit types.
Light infantry: lightly armoured spearmen, swordsmen and javelineers (skirmishers)
Heavy infantry: heavily armoured spearmen, swordsmen and axemen
Missile infantry: slingers, archers, stone throwers etc (usually no armour)
Light cavalry: horse archers and lancers (raiding units) with little or no armour
Heavy cavalry: armoured horsemen, fighting with swords or lances
War Elephants: what they sound like
In vanilla, each culture group has its own set-up of names for their units. The same goes for my units, in fact I've decided to let every unit have a name in the primary language of their culture group. That means there are no "champions" or "warriors". I'll give you a few examples in the list below.
