Update for the explorer

[Alfonso]

The explorer would have to be able to update to a modern unit with great power of vision and mobility. In addition, he could be equipped with a little attack and defense. Its name could be Unit of recognition.

He would be well accompanied of a dog, prisms binocular and a gun with bayonet.

I agree with panag. It would be better if the unit kept his Chihuahua at home..

Maybe the industrial explorer could look like Humboldt and the modern one like Harrer.

A few suggestions:

1. Enable enslave capabilities for the Explorer! It's historically realistic. Might even get the AI to build explorers...

2. A late industrial upgrade for the Explorer could be the Ranger. They're the army equivalent of highly mobile infantry soldiers with deep penetration abilities.

Historically, the Rangers employ small unit tactics, demolition training, cold weather training, mountaineering, low-level parachute jumps, and river-crossing operations.

In civ terms, Rangers would probably have a high A/D/M, but will be balanced with their "unique ability": Rangers cannot be stacked, and cannot be loaded into armies. I wonder if it's possible to mod this in the editor, though.
