Back to the musketman discussion, in history muskets were mainly used to counter knights/swordsman/macemen (ie heavily armored) units. Their main advantage was in that they were much cheaper and easier to train than longbowmen for defence, or the knight-type units for war. I think a way to extend their life might be to make them a bit cheaper to produce and maybe a small (~15%
vs. mounted/melee units. IMHO grens are a bit overpowered, and should be changed to represent the much more specialized units that they really were. Of course, they are a great niche unit to counter rifles, but I would think they should rcv. a penalty versus most other units...or maybe lower their strength and increase their % vs. rifles (and cavs, I think!) Don't blast me too hard tho, I am more of a history buff and not a great civ player (noble is still challenging!)
