That's why I think the new trash unit for American civs should take extra damage from melee weapon, with the unit's main advantage is its speed & cheap cost. Spearmen are supposed to deal extra damage against cavalry & weak against everything else. Which is why they're cheaper than Militia line.

Llama rider will be too ridiculous as well as ahistorical. Llama is valued among the locals not because of their speed, but because of their strength & ability to walk through mountainous path. Incan army usually only employed llama to carry baggage. Eagle for me is enough for American civs as long as they got additional melee armor, so they're still able to beat other heavy cavalry by using their cheaper cost & numerical superiority.

Instead of fast & heavy unit, I think it will be better to give American civs slow-but-durable unit to act as meat shield (like Teutonic Knight or Battle Elephant). That will make them more competitive in mid to late game because now they have tanky unit to help other units last longer. But that doesn't make American civs OP because they still cannot mass 1 kind of unit & then hoping for easy win.
