Okay, time for a more detailed response!
I ran into various issues when trying to make "trainable" dinosaurs, and thus simply left out that functionality in the published version. I apparently forgot to update the info text to account for this, however. I've modified the Lua so that barbarian dinosaurs stop spawning with the discovery of Designer Lifeforms, but dinosaur units still aren't trainable.
I'm not entirely sure what this means -- I'll have to start up the mod and click on the various icons to figure out which info text is wrong.
Fixed!
I have the bad habit of forgetting to make SV icons. I've been trying to get better at this, and when I made new icons for various units as well as newer units I got the SV icons in, but many of the older units and improvements are still missing them. I'm going to try and get more of these fixed with the v6 update, but as many of the remaining icons I don't have the proper graphic files for I'll probably have to remake them from scratch.
I was experimenting with the <Improvement_AdjacentCityYields> code to see what it would do -- the Support Core is normally a fortress-like improvement that provides healing to nearby units, but I liked the idea that when built adjacent to a city it also provides additional yields. I may have neglected to include this information in its tooltip, however.
The Tidal Array is basically an "enhancement" to the Tidal Plant that provides additional yields to sea resources, but I messed up in the tooltip and put the incorrect yields in. It should provide +1 Production and +1 Gold to sea resources, as well as further increasing the city's production bonus.
The embarked promotions made sense for the Marines, but didn't seem to make as much sense for the later units, which wouldn't necessarily be as specialized in amphibious assaults. (Admittedly, Special Forces could be, with units like the Navy Seals and such.) So I didn't include them in the base promotions those units got (giving them promotions such as March instead), but didn't realize that the embarked promotions would be retained on upgrade. I'm not sure if I should go and add the embarked promotions in to the new units as well, or whether I should set them to not carry over on upgrade...
The Helicopter Gunship uses PROMOTION_FLAT_MOVEMENT_COST, so I carried that over to the Vertol and Hovertank. However, it makes more sense that the Scout's PROMOTION_IGNORE_TERRAIN_COST should be used for ground-based units that can move freely through terrain, so I've replaced the other promotion on units like the Chimera and Nanohive. (The Nanohive hovers, but so close to the ground it makes sense to use the Scout's promotion.)
The Observer Drone is a unit I considered adding, giving the cybernetic branch a mobile command and scout unit, but for various reasons I opted not to use the art defines I had for it. I will give some thought to making a late-game scout unit, although probably with another drone model.
That's... very odd. XD
I didn't have the Reload Audio System box checked, but never noticed since I always play it alongside other mods that reload the audio system. That bug has been fixed.

I have always alot of promotions. Its even hidden inside the unit icon. So, i was checking the new units (from the mod) and the non unique unit only (well, artillery isnt unique).
