I think that cavalry units need rearrangement - it is somewhat ridiculous that Horsemen (which require no techs) stick around all the way until Tanks are discovered. Same goes for the other mounted units. So I'd say that at least some of the ancient cavalry units should upgrade into the medieval ones (Knights, for example), and perhaps add one more cavalry unit between Knights and Tanks (like the Cavalry in Civ 4 and 5), because it does seem like a big tech gap. So here is a sample upgrade tree in that system:
Light: Horseman -> Horse Archer -> Modern Cavalry -> Gunship (perhaps)
Heavy: Cavalry -> Knight -> Tank
About Modern Cavalry - Maybe change the name of the old Cavalry to Chariot and name this one Cavalry; it could be discovered with Gunpowder (or Invention, because Gunpowder already has its unit) and should be an attacking unit, so the strength could be something like 6,2, and it should be cheap because there are stronger attack units in its era (Cannon, for example).
