Chasqui scout (Incas) : 2/1/1 (all terrain as road likely + enslavement ability)
Enkidu Warrior (Sumerians) : 1/2/1 (latest preview)
Three-man chariot (Hittites) :
Javelineer (Mayas) : (enslavement ability)
Swiss Mercenary Pikeman (Dutch) :
Carrack (Portuguese) : 2.2.3 (cost = 40) cannot sink sea, increased attack, appears with Astronomy
Dromon (Byzantines) :2.1.3, lethal sea bombardment
Scenario units :
Daimyo : king unit, self upgrade 10 times (Feudal Japan)
Japanese Carrier (in WWII Pacific)
Cruisers (in WWII Pacific )
Ronin : hidden nationality (Feudal Japan)
A Bomb (WWII Pacific, US only)
Missionary : Age of Sail
New Roman Legionaire (?) : Rise of Rome (?)
Cataphract :
- Christian relics (3 different ones) : in medieval (princess flag reversed)
- spy (detect invisible) in medieval
Wonder-generated units :
- Templar Knights (foot unit) can not be built but one is generated every 5 turns by the Templar's wonder. 5.3.1 (shield equivalent = 70)
- Ancient cavalry : cannot be built but one is generated every 5 turns by the Zeus Temple wonder. 3.2.2 (shield equivalent = 40)
Regular units or units without specifications yet :
- Trebuchet
- Curragh (north of Pacatnamu) : early boat comes with Alphabet
- Viking Longboat
- Flak (anti-aircraft)
- SAM battery unit (mobile)
- TOW infantry

- Can be used up in rushing wonders, the same as military Great Leaders
- Can be used up by increasing scientific research by 25% for 20 turns in every city in the civ(!)
Abilities and Modifications :
- New flag : anti-aircraft (given to AEGIS cruiser for instance)
- late air force efficiency dramatically increased (lethal bombardment) which requires the use of mobile anti-aircraft units
- Armies are still not upgradable but they can now pillage without loss of movement point, they get an extra movement point, they have much better healing abilities and have blitz and radar abilities.
- Daimyo : seems (they were not very clear) like the new techs can both increase the stats directly or allow for upgrading the unit. Moddable.

NEW GOVERNMENTS :
Civ3 :
Feudalism (good for small civs) : high corruption and war weariness, unit-support = 3 (very expensive) but better than despotism.
Facism : efficient system (200% worker rate, limited corruption and war weariness, large free-unit support) but ethnic cleaning causes your cities to lose one pop point when switching to that government, makes your conquered cities lose population too and makes it impossible for your cities to produce culture until the majority of the population is of your own civ. (lots of interesting abilities).

Tribal council
Oligarchy
Imperialism

Oops, I should learn to read things, more carefully. 
. In the second paragraph. In this paragraph also two scenario specific airplanes are mentioned and some other units. In the fourth paragraph limitations to aircraft rebasing ranges are mentioned. A few small other changes are also mentioned in this article (message toggles, tourism bonus). Now that I reread this second page of this article, I remember it again. It was maybe the best preview we got until now. Maybe some changes mentioned in the first page aren't in your summary yet. I have no time to check, I have to get some sleep.
. Of course, no FINAL decision has been made by ATARI about whether plagues will be in, or not!!
