Those and similar issues were the reason createunit only worked with
shops at first. Due to high demand they were generalized later, and now
we're back, it seems.

I tend to agree with Dave, and as the createunit event is already
complex enough I don't really want to add any more options if it can
be helped. Besides, just looking at the surrounding hexes may not be
enough either. If you really want this behaviour, you should just
chain several events targetting all possible locations and let them
discard each other.
