Interesting. I was thinking, rather than removing the lancer (I get that, I dislike its fantasy anti-cavalry role), adding the horse archer in the medieval era could complete two separate mounted branches, one ranged and one melee:
Furthermore I echo the voices saying replacing the musketman is unnecessarily disruptive. The history of firearms had so many stages that a ranged unit can be found to coexist with it.
Cheap thoughts. Great work!
