I've been looking around for a few different units, and not found much, apart from reskins (which are either too civ/time period specific or not unique enough from their base unit to be of use).
1) Fusiliers. I'm looking for a unit to fill the hole between 13th century Arquebusier-like unit that vanilla civ uses as Musketmen, and the implied 19th century Riflemen from vanilla civ (which I may reskin to appear slightly more modern). Both Janissaries and Redcoats get somewhat close to what I would be looking for in Fusiliers, and I would be switching both to the Fusilier unitclass. A 17th/18th century Fusilier would be ideal.
2) Carabineers. I'm looking for a mounted gunpowder unit that fills the huge gap in front of the American Civil War style "Cavalry" unit in vanilla civ. I would be using this unit as Dragoons.
3) Lancers. I only saw one lancer, the Presidio lancer (too specific for my needs), and a lot of heavy medieval cavalry armed with lances. What I'm looking for is light cavalry armed with a lance. Hussars exemplify what I'd be aiming for, and if there is a suitably generic-looking Hussar out there somewhere, I'd love to be pointed to it. This is, again, to fill the gap in front of the "Cavalry" unit from vanilla.

IIRC, Polish civ has winged Hussar as a UU. Not sure if Hungarian civ as a regular hussar but it was a proposed UU for that civ.
I miss the civ 2 dragoons too !

Thanks, I'll investigate those; I do remember stumbling across what looked like a winged hussar a few weeks ago, but I couldn't remember where.
Additional note on my requests: I'm sure they'd be rather useful for a number of mods...including that one Imperialism mod preview I saw on main C&C some time ago...

Rules 1 + 2!!
you forget about the yamato, the largest and most powerful battleship built... and still inspires awe among many historians.
the most realistic sci-fi movie, book, or game that i have ever seen is more or less Halo. in The Fall of Reach, they explain the entire augumentation process, the MJOLNIR armor specs, and everything they did to strengthen the Pillar of Autumn. however, i have not read many sci-fi books... let alone books in general, so the facts that back my opinion are very limiting. if anyone has any books that the suggest, message me. keep it out of the forum, cause i am going off topic.
my previous paragraph brings me to my next rant. the ability to move away from the original planet that you inhabit in order to colonize another. which inturn would lead to a mass in new units. space marines, space sruisers, carriers, etc. which again brings me back to halo. since all of these thing seem to be mentioned in at least one of the books at some point or another.

I'm looking for a Horse Artillery unit. Basically, artillery that implies greater mobility with the presence of a horse as part of the unit's graphic. Not sure if this can be done. US Civil War era is fine, otherwise Boer-era British artillery will do perfectly!
I'm also looking for a US Civil War Zouave unit, or better yet British Boer-War era infantry unit.
Finally, an 1800's US Army native american scout (wearing US Army uniform pieces mixed with miscellaneous Indian features, feathers, etc), both on foot and mounted versions.
Cheers!

yeah, like that idee but, i'm more into Final Fantasy VII now so what i'm looking for are Shinra units (DeepGround), like Sister-Ray, SOLDIER's, DeepGround Unit's like: Dragonfly, Black Widow and so on.
But also more mordern units, more choppers, nuclair subs (how to write??) and more stuff like that.
I need a new UU for the Ottomans: The Abus Gun.
What I was thinking of was a Jannissary holding that Chinese hand cannon from the Chinese scenario, with the Fast Worker's head (so he can have the turban).

Is anyone planning on doing world war II infantry that use graphics other than the standard (US centric) Civ 4 infantry figure.
I ask as I have seen an explosion in unique and awesome foot units lately but nothing in the ww2 era.

Yeah, that's what I would use it for.

Actually if you look at MaxRiga Mod there is a whole heap of WWI and WWII infantry models including a whole set released by Baal. Therefore it has been done with other uniforms other than US. I don't know if those units are what you are looking for though...
