Hey, since I'm a big fan of the etruscans in general but their roster in DeI is a bit lacking I decided to take matters into my own hands and make a few new units.
This is not really historical, as about half of the units are 'late' ones that are more of a ' what if Rome never conquered Rasenna ' thing.
I took some inspiration from this guy who has some sources too for anyone who is interested and speaks italian:

So here are the units:
Two-handed axemen, which were historically tasked with striking the spears of the enemy hoplite formation. By the start time of DeI they were not in use anymore but I think they're a fun addition, especially with the rosters present in italy.
Reformed etruscan swordsmen; a 'what if'-unit. Similar to the AOR unit in italy but with more etruscan equipment/looks.
Etruscan mounted skirmishers; Basically Hippakontistai, just with etruscan equipment/looks.
Etruscan citizen cavalry; similar to their greek counterpart but equipped with a few javelins like the Etruscan noble cav.
Etruscan axemen; an alternative to the ensiferi italici. Similar stats but a bit more offensively oriented.
Reformed etruscan axemen; an alternative to the reformed etruscan swordsmen. Similar stats again but less disciplined and more offensive.
The mod will need All Factions Playable:

There's two versions:
One to use with just DeI and AFP 4TPY:

and one with all costs scaled to Alternative Economy levels:
