As a matter of fact I suggested to not add specialised packhands, but add a pouch slot to each existing hireable unit instead. This would imply you could equip every possible hireable unit and make them pick up items specified by their commander. I don't fancy the notion of a 'packhand' unit, except for known slavers maybe, but Orc factions would use their cannon fudder for dirt work anyway, and I do like the idea that this functionality could make it interesting for players to hire the lowest tier civilian units just for any imaginable case of 'pick up that stuff spread out all over the place' (log, crops, bones, coin, cobble, vines, clay, ...). Finally, I feel it would be unnecessary to add a special packhand unit if this alternative could work, and I have this gut feeling that adding a pouch slot to all hired NPCs could support more functionalities ... * ponders *
