Sorry if it's already been discussed/modded (I did a Google search on the forums but couldn't find anything though).
The Myrmidons are a rather mythical contigent of warriors, namely Achilles' homeland army. I don't think they'd fit in any RTW mod other than a Troy mod... although taking into account the coolness factor some might welcome such a unit if you'd create it.
