Down the line, I wonder how hard it would be for the devs to implement new units as part of an expansion or dlc pack? As long as the npc's do no speak of our units directly (or at least too many) then they would hardly cause a ripple.
I think the biggest problem of that would be the balancing. It's hard to add units to a mix which is already well balanced with a working rock, paper, scissors system....
Maybe Larian could think about adding a new unit when there is a really big demand after release. But if not I prefer them concentrating on fixing/improving the balancing for the existing units (and working on D:OS of course).....
