You can use the Raider unit in Chronicles (scroll to bottom)

I’ve seen this asked for the entire game before several times. And I much prefer this approach here. If some don’t like the wings on the hussars, it would be nice if there was a mod for them to cut them off.
I just was against changint that for the entire game, because the sources show that other hussars adapted the look of the winged hussars, so imo it is an accurate depictation.

What this also shows me that there is maybe a potential for a “graphics” DLC? Where old units get alternative (regional) sprites you can possibly then chose via an easy select menu? I would also like to have it to deactivate regionalisation models like those of the monks which are still confusing to me. I like my game clean and easy/fast to read and would buy a graphics DLC to deactivate a lot of this in my eyes unnecessary regionalisation.

This could work (20 characters)

They need those Chronicles unit to exist as separate units without having to use the civs themselves. Or am I doing something wrong?

In Europe it is, but if you need to have generic units I prefer if they stay generic. Visually the wings are smart, it makes the unit stand out. Persians getting winged hussars doesn’t make sense.
