Are you sure? The way I made it, the're not actually different, so
guerillas will also capture cities.

In my version, they don't have any techs. Similar to the units that
come from huts, the types of units are determinde in the ruleset. You
can state

- ships
- crew
- guerillas
- hut units
- and what they build in cities

each one with a "always" and a "if the global tech is there"
variant. In cities, they always build the unit with the best attack
value.
