[ieyeasu]

Special unit from the Agincourt battle, most likely.

i never used the unpacker but i was wondering what some of those odd units might be so can try to produce them through the cheat shell.

so far all i know about is

king henry

rufus

rocketeer elephants

gulay gorod

it would be nice to know if there are others. i dont think anyone has actually started making any list of significant size so far.
