The choice of Rifleman is Civ2-compatible.  I think it might be good
to offer a client-side configuration option, though, to use the more
advanced units by default when they become available.

(Better choices are the Alpine Troops and the Mech. Infantry.  And maybe
the Partisan, if the player doesn't have Alpine Troops yet -- but that's
less clear, since they cost 10 more and the only additional benefits
they have are the ignore-terrain and ignore-zone-of-control powers,
which are far less useful when they're just fortified in a city.)
