Here is a new unit that I've always wanted to include: Motorized Infantry. Motorized Infantry are infantry units with trucks; unlike Mechanized Infantry, the trucks are not armored or heavily armed, so they just provide mobility rather than adding to combat strength. The result is a Strength-36 (only 2 points over Infantry) unit with Move 2 and lacking Doesn't Receive Defensive Bonuses. Motorized Infantry are classified as a Wheeled Unit, so they don't get City Garrison promotions. Like Mechanized Infantry, they do get to start with March and have an increased gold support cost.

I'm putting Motorized Infantry as early as possible; they require Automatic Weapons plus Automobile. I could move them farther forward on the tech tree if that would be better.
The unit graphic for this is two Infantry figures plus a truck. I was able to use civ-specific artworks for the Infantry figures, but I can't do separate artworks for the truck without defining a completely new unit, and I don't really want to do that.
