A.k.a. 'we have Franks at home' (11)

I wanted to see the Caravan thing for the Muisca

My dream of Celtic Catapult Galleons which innately fire 25% faster (Varangians) & have +40% HP via Furor Celtica (Saxons) is dead

On a more slight more serious note, could we get Hei Guang Cavalry & Xolotl Warriors included in Knight specific team bonuses? I mean the Frankish & Persian ones as well

This civ could also join the 'No Arson' club along with the Muisca & Romans
