removal of fantasy units?

[Inhuman One]

I keep hearing people about removing fantasy units like sherwood archers and elephants with cannons.

wouldnt it be better to simply replace them with something similar yet more realistic?

sherwood archers could get a new skin and be named mercenary longbowmen or something like that. I dont know if there was a guild for longbowmen.

the elephants with cannons could get a small ballista on their back.

Noooooooo gimme more fantasy units
I want Ronins and an experimental DaVinci Steam Tank,oh and he made blueprints for heicopters and machine guns, i want them too
oh and parachuters

[Inhuman One]

go play rise of legends then. I believe it had all that stuff.

I would rather have something semi realistic then, like black knights. there actually was one english knight in black armor. the black prince.

Can we have dragons then too? I think the Black knight might get lonely with out dragons.

How about a unique rebel unit of Black Host, knights in black armor on black horses, that spawn in Germany during the endgame. Florian Geyer was the "real" black knight.
