A unit which can be simply called a troop-carrier. It allows a small group of units enter itself, which can then be moved safely to another place. All the troops inside are protected from enemy attacks - if the wagon is destroyed, all the units will jump out of it unharmed.
It would be a boring unit if it was all about it. Units stationed inside that have ranged attacks - Man-at-Arms, Archers, Arabian Archers, Rangers, Crossbowmen and Oil Pot Throwers - can fire at will from the inside of the wagon while it is moving! This way you will be able to create a fairly durable unit of great firepower, which is extremely effective at clearing enemy walls off troops - several wagons filled with Archers / Crossbowmen can easily take out a bigger group of enemy shooters.
This units has two flaws - the first one being vulnerability to melee combat, which is even more evident because of their low mobility, making them unable to run away from all but the slowest units. Another one is the vulnerability to Ballistae attacks - a few bolts from those machines can turn a wagon into a pile of wreckage.
