[REQ] Scout and cavalry upgrade

[Midnightman]

This is just a request to talented modders and to throw some ideas out there for anyone who could do this. I think it would be popular.

Late era scout to be able to upgrade to a new higher defense style scouting unit, maybe like a guerrilla unit.

An ability to expend the unit to create an improvement like a watchtower for extra vision of no mans land? Give those scouts some late game use instead of plain old disbandment!

Late era Cavalry upgrade to jeep or hummer with machine gun.

For an upgrade to scout units: you can look into the mod database (here or on steam workshop), there are many of them (for example: "Explorer Unit", "Units - Scout to Explorer", "Scout, Explorer, and Command Vehicle Units")
About the ability to expend the unit for an improvement: it's pretty easy to do in xml but I don't think someone did it, personally I prefer other solutions

Something I've always loved is when an already promoted scout finds an 'advanced weapons' ruin. I've got an archer right now with Survivalism III and Scouting I, and ignores terrain - rapidly levelling up.

My goal now, for this entire game, is to upgrade him up through mechanized infantry fully promoted at level 15...
