While visually some unit lines do have incongruities in them (for example spearman line) it is ideal to avoid this. Visually, it is hard to believe that the Skirmisher is supposed to come from the Rover unit.Why would the rover have a 2nd unit line, which not only ignores the specialty of this unit line, completely changes the concept and get rid of everything the Rover was known for? All weapon were dropped and even the armour type is changed. This makes this unit line indeed special. Not only is how Sleepwalker planned this unit to be after he reworked the sprite in 2012 but it is even historically accurate. The Explorer and Ranger are special units, that are capable of shooting arrows with their bows while holding the shield in the same hand as the bow. Conceptional, the Rover is a unit that starts with a shield, an axe and a bow.Thats why the Skirmisher no longer lv ups from Rover, but instead from the Soldier. Not only does it make no sense conceptually, it also seems to have missed what the original designer was intended and instead feels like an odd afterthought.
