Since UUs and UBs are apparently back, what UUs and UBs would you like to see in CivV?
Personally I think there could be more Siege UUs (such as Scorpio for Rome). I also think there could be mercenaries (such as Genoese crossbowmen) that only certain civs could hire.
if egyptians are in id like to see them with a UU other than the War chariot. i love the egyptians but disliked the war chariot. they had a very small time frame where they were usefull and became obsolete too fast.
Indeed. Bit odd that they ride horses without knowledge of Horseback Riding.
Replace what? Spears? Axes? Swords? (assuming those still exist).
I hope A. Native America (but not in that form- Sioux+Iroquois preferably, or just one) still exists (probably in an expansion), and they keep the good Dog Soldier UU- nicely historical- but not that awful and cheesy Totem Pole- which was only used by the smaller and less organized tribes of the Northwest, and has little bearing on real history.

Depends on what you're playing. In multiplayer you could pretty much win the game with only war chariots if you're playing a teamer. If you're doing a FFA you still can still use the WC to take enough land to secure a later victory.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of UBs (moreso than UUs, I think). Only reason I play the dutch is 'cause of the levee - maoi statues for every city? Yes, thank you! Anyway, for the civs that are likely to be in Vanilla, I'd like something other than the stock exchange for England. But the Forum is awesome for Rome, I love it to bits.
I would like to see a multitude of Unique Units for each civilization...
As far as specifics go, I've always thought the British should have a stronger/better Longbowmen, mainly from my experiences with the Age of Empires series.
I would like to see France use something else than the Musketeer. A Knight or Cuirassier replacement would be great and it would suit the French fighting style better. Persia should get a Cataphract UU instead of the immortals, since the Persian practically invented heavy cavalry. It could be something in between your standard Horseman and Knight.
