(This concept can be implemented at any time although it will probably be its own update.)
Before we start, when 1.0 came out I was extremely disappointed with the lack of unique units. (Although I do enjoy the game as currently.)
Now lets get to it.
Unit Expansion
Concept:
In this game, their is way too few units. With the limited option of 4. Although the Bowmen, Footman, Spearman, and Knight all are great and balanced, I feel like this game really lacks the choice for units in it.
So I propose in this suggestion that a expansion of 10 units and get its own update (The Besiege Update.)
Below are some units I think should be added.
