no Gallic Swordsman available

Why's that? Num.mercs upgrade to musketmen, thus bypassing one step on the normal spearman to mech.inf upgrade chain.

That's because pikes upgrade (with some intermediates, probably) to Num. Mercs. Carthage can't build pikes.

The problem is that you're proposing to create a split in the chain, and that's not possible.

Actually, NM upgrade to pikes in the editor, though that step is skipped since pikes are unavailable to Carthage.

A convergent chain is possible, like longbows and MI both upgrading to Guerillas, but the split has to go all the way to the bottom of the chain.

One workaround for this problem would be to give the Celts a unit called "Warrior ", identical to the Warrior in every way, except the space at the end of the name and the upgrade path, which would go W->GS->Knight. You'd have to make sure you also changed the Swordsman to upgrade to Legionary, instead of GS.

There is no bypass for NumMec. Pikes are simply not enabled for Carthage.
For the Dutch UU, the situation is quite strange on first sight:
Pikes->Musketman->Musketeer (France only)-> Swiss Merc -> Rifle

The reasoning behind is pretty good: You wouldn't want to build Muskets as the Dutch - unless you happen to have no Iron, but Saltpeter...

Oh, I thought he meant nm upgraded directly to muskets in the editor.
