One I'd really love to see is a Fusilier / Grenadier. Think American Revolution / Napoleon era infantry. They have the bayonet and aren't so frilly as Musketman, but not yet Rifleman.
I agree completely, such a unit animation would be great.
Here is a possible Civilopedia for such a unit which could become available with
Military Tradition . It would be superceded by the 19th Century Riflemen.

^
^Military strategists, most notably Prince Maurice of Nassau, a great Dutch military teacher, developed drill - the preparation for war by prescribed movements and formations - to increase efficiency.
^
^The invention of the bayonet in 1670 gave infantries little reason to keep pikemen, and infantry units
employed muskets and bayonet exclusively from then on. The Bayonet is recognized by many as being
one of the decisive weapons of the 2nd millennium. In the 18th century when muskets were lighter and
easier to load, bayonets were universally placed on the ends of the barrel and the importance of the pikemen diminished.
^
^Smaller tactical groups of infantrymen facilitated quicker rate of group fire with minimal mutual interference. Lines dropped from 8 to 10 in the 17th century to 2 to 3 at the end of the 18th century.
With the advent of more modern infantry drills Infantry ceased to use a long line formation because
it held the risk that enemy cavalry might attack the flanks or rear and "roll up the line".
The hollow square was adopted because it could repulse a $LINK<cavalry=DESC_PRTO_Cavalry> attack from any direction.
A formation of resolute advancing infantry, bayonets drawn, screaming their battle cries in the 18th
century struck fear in the hearts of the enemy and often caused the opposing ranks to break and run.

^This unit is basically the Musketman equipped with Bayonet and drilled in Infantry procedures.
could you covert it?? 
(mostly by myself)
