Unique Promotions

I did a search and never came up with what I was hoping for. Does anyone have the complete list for the unique promotions for the Kris Swordsman and Impi? Or are the unique Zulu promotions for all units from the Ikhanda?

Interestingly I just played the Zulu AND Indonesia on the same map as hotseat. The Ikanda promotions work for all pre-gunpowder melee, these are all the buffalo upgrades: horns, loins, and shield? ...I think.

The impi do have 2 unique promotions and I know 1 of them transfers.

1. spear throw - get a free bombard attack prior to melee attack (like a 2for1 for exp and damage) This doesn't transfer upon upgrade.
2. +1 movement for 3 total on your units. This DOES transfer with upgrading making 3 movement riflemen and infantry (pretty nice!)

I have built some Kris Swordsmen but have yet to map all the promotions. I have seen these:

Fully heal upon killing another unit and Sap health from enemies you attack. There is a complete list here in the wiki and note about 1/3 of them are bad upgrades (hurt you). Some are insanely good though so build a lot of them and save the good ones! They all transfer.

I just thought about if the Throw Spear promotion carried on, & Zulu Riflemen would throw there bayoneted-rifles & then pull out another one & fire if there is a modder reading this, pls make this happen...
