I thought of "warriors" and it sounds quite bad actually. Still, we have a category void for War Elephant. I would suggest "unmanned warriors" instead.

You have to know I categorize categories much more precisely, and it narrows much of the gap for these categories, so that you won't find too many articles in a category. Musketeers DO differ from ordinary gunner (I call it "gunner" because "gunpowder infantry/cavalry" seems to be a little bit of wrong grammar, but then Grenadiers are in different category).

The problem with your categorization is that you still uphold too many articles in one category. You usually have about 2% of all pages in this wiki for a category, but then you did not include precise categories in military, but in other aspects. If you take a look at some Wikipedia pages, categories can be as precise as only containing about 40 pages for a category, which accounts for less than 1% of all pages in Wikipedia, even for all pages about Military.

I may have reservations for deleting "anti-mercenary" category. I think I might delete that category.

Not sure why "shielded units" is a pointless category. It is POINTLESS to say this category is pointless when this category can have a potential to hold up to more than 20 articles. There are shielded units in Age of Empires 2 and 1 as well. I'm not convinced about tat.

Yeah, I need to rephrase "slingers". It should be "throwers". For really "slingers", there is only Macehualtin. I'm still really miserable about Carib Blowgunner as it is neither a "slinger" or a "thrower" to be exact. Wikipedia also restricts "Miscellaneous" as a category, as it is regarded as "overcategorization".

I will be adding "builders" to the category system as "Fort Wagon", "Factory Wagon", "Travois" etc. fall into the categorization void in my categorization system.

But the problem with the present categorization is that some units are "infantry" while some aren't, although mentioned in other categories, but still it looks strange to have a half list of "infantry" in the category page. Either we empty the "infantry" category or put all the units under "infantry".
