Well, since Kinboat's deli-line is over (until next time), I thought I'd post a couple of the requested units here in the main C&C forum.
First off, Kal-el's Aztec horseman/knight unit looked like an intriguingly awesome idea, so I'm hoping against hope that someone will pick it up.

Secondly, I shall reiterate my own request from the deli-line: a "Meiji Samurai," something much like one of the Ishin Shishi who fought in the Meiji Restoration. He would have a pistol and sword combination, much like the Man-at-Arms. Though in a historically accurate case the gun would probably be a revolver, I suggest that anyone who takes up this project make the pistol a little more generic, less era-specific, so that the unit could more easily fit into the same historical/technological niche as the Man-at-Arms if someone wanted to use the unit that way (as I might).
I tried to find some images of this last one, but came up with nada so far. I think it should be rather self explanatory anyhoo. Someone could, if they so desired, simply modify the anims of the vanilla civ samurai (though creating a new unit would likely look better and be more fulfilling/less tedious).
