Special Units & Buildings?

i dont mean these in the sense of unique units and buildings that each civilization will have like war elephants or rotary mills. im more referring to entirely unique units and buildings which will only be accessible through the editor for scenario design and story purposes. if you remember, in AOM, there were plenty of units, buildings, and other objects like these which were specifically included for the campaign scenarios, among them the Folstag Flag Bearer, the Guardian, Arkantos, Prometheus, the Hades Gate, and the Temple of the Gods

anyway, what are the developerss and modders' ideas for what kinds of objects like these would be included in the game, either for campaign purposes or included as generic units for scenario designers to use?

here's an example: i know that many heroes have already been decided upon, such as the hellenes variously getting guys like leonidas, themistocles, and alexander. but what about some of their famous generals, like Perdiccas, Craterus, or Antipater? will specific units for them which are only available through the editor be included? or will you go the route of Empire Earth and make some generic hero units which can be renamed to simulate a given historical personage (for example, in Empire Earth's trojan war scenario, the greek kings Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Odysseus were represented by the units for Alexander, Gilgamesh, and Heirakles, respectively, instead of having their own special units)

We've already included a lot of extra stuff that's not normally build-able or used in-game. Take a look in Atlas. Let me give a brief rundown:

We'll definitely add more units and heroes and extra buildings before we go Gold. Above and beyond what you'll find in the campaign(s). I couldn't see not having Julius Caesar and other characters like that. Do you have any special requests? :)
