Axeman unit?

If there were an axeman unit, what civilizations would have it? I think Persians would, Herodotus mentions them in the army that invaded Greece, and anyway they are short on infantry in the game. Who else?

I think the current absence of axeman in Persia should be a deliberate nerf, some people may feel that with axeman Persia will be too strong.
In fact it was for this reason that the Han Dynasty swordsmen were removed previously.

Axe infantry would have something like 9 hack 2 crush attack, 4 hack 2 pierce armor. They'd be good against swordmen (foot and horse) and siege. 

Kush has macemen, with only crush damage, so they aren't good against units. It makes sense to me for persia to have axe infantry and cavalry both.
