I think the best gimmick for a unit like Landsknecht or Reisläufer (swiss original) would be a “damage sharing” ability. So they don’t die as fast individually. But ofc could die in very fast succession when heavily damaged.

(and you need to keep them together to make the gimmick work, with a seizable mass. constantly caring for them aswell)

Funny how many gimmicks are already taken, but also funny how many unused we have collected over time in the corresponding [thread](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/just-for-fun-unique-unit-gimmicks-ideas/285085).
