Maybe they should add a grenadier unit.
I agree.They should add a grenadier unit.

i don't think there should be a grenadier unit
I agree. They should have a grenadier unit.![]()
Greandiers where basicly just rifleman with grenades
What other units do you guys think they should add?
...ninjas...
in all seriousness though, none. After the expansion, I think we're pretty much done with units.
Any more and I will always have outdated armies when going to war, and all my cash reserves will constantly be going to upgrading my units.

Yeah, I think Grenadiers would be fine if they had a 1-hex range, as a Renaissance intermediate between Crossbowmen and Gatling Gun. But I believe it has been specifically said that Crossbows upgrade directly to Gatling Gun, so unfortunately it does not appear Grenadiers are in the cards.Grenadiers and Skirmishers would be epic. How would you represent them? Grenadiers could have a one hex ranged attack with a melee units combat value.

Better skirmishers than Granatiers IMHO (and Range-1)
I would rather have the crossbows go into skirmishers than grenadiers. In the current system you have ranged and melee. Giving Grenadiers the abillity to be ranged while making them as strong as other melee troops wouldn't fit imo. Skirmeshers would better fit the ranged category and if I remember correctly they weren't really trained for melee like main troops were.(correct me here if I am incorrect.)
If they were to put Grenadiers in the game, I would suggest just give them an attack bonus or a bonus attacking cities. I also would like to add that maybe have scouts upgrade into skirmishers seeing as they normally screened the main battle line. but like others have said having to many units in the game will mean you will be costantly upgrading your troops.
