Yes, why can't Gunpowder units take the City Raider promotions, while cannons, macemen and armor units can? This handicap makes Macemen better City Attackers than Musketmen (WEIRD!). Moreover CR3 Macemen that are upgraded to Riflemen retain their CR promotions - unfair!
Another issue is of course why Armor units can't take the March promotion while Mech Infantry and Gunships can. (I think even Naval units can take the March promotion.)
While I'm considering modding the CR issue, I'm not really sure on the balance implications this would cause. Right now I'm better off building CR3 Macemen than C3 Musketmen and it feels very broken. (Btw, shouldn't it be much cheaper to train Musketmen than Macemen? As Musketmen don't wear fancy armor and muskets should be pretty cheap to make and don't require much metal at all. Right now Musketmen are more expensive which makes this even crazier. Sure make the Musketmen more expensive, for game balance, but let me keep my CR promotions, please.)
