There are some nice specials there still, I like the woman with the cash register. Seems like something new for a special, and a good way to get another cash register for those that need it. Buy a few of them and with some tables and a building you have yourself a fastfood restaurant.
Getting tired of knights myself as well, can't they release medieval villagers in these specials with some equipment?
A blacksmith with tools, a farmer with a handcart, a messenger with a horse, a monk with a lectrum, etc. Theres just so many great possibilities there.
If they want weaponry, they could at least release medieval bandits since they can be used as civilians.
