Missing Links
I see several missing links in civ III, in terms of units. The early game is entirely devoid of offensive naval units, which I easily fixed on my mod.
Other areas missing
1. Something in between muskateer & riflemen, like, maybe, grenadier, more offensive, you know.
2. Pre-dreadnought, btw ironclad & destroyer. Faster than Ironclad, slower than battleship, decent off/def/bombard
3. Commerce raider - improved privateer
4. Early tank. 12-6-2
5. Biplane Puny everything, attk/def/move/bombard, but something
6. dirigible. Blows up real good, but good range.
7. Attack helicopter.
8. SP artillery - same tech as tank, oil dependent
9. commandos - get road move bonus.
10. Fleets - naval armies why not 
well, got to go, probably think of more later

For me the number and type of units is quite OK, but I found the fleet idea very good.

Given the leader doesn't drown while he swims round the globe to your nearest coastal city. Good idea though.

I am not so worried about missing links, but your ideas would add more debth to the game, and I am all for that!

Musket Infantry would come after musketmen: now armed with bayonets and faster-firing muskets.
Shock Troops: before tanks. Offensive infantry that the Germans first used in 1917.
Crossbowmen: all archers upgrade to that; longbowmen are English UU's.
Lots of other stuff. Go check the attached mod. Or check the LWC mod posted on this and other forums.

It works. The copy tool that is. Back up everything first though.
