What about the wandering barbarian tribes?  The last time I played
roman.g (when I was testing the pathfinding code), I used a tribe to
carry an invasion force across a desert (I piled infantry into the
tribe, then moved it across the desert).  The tribe remains productive,
even when in a desert and on the move (although less prodctive than a
stationary tribe in plains).
