UUs: more than one per nation?

A+ombomb said:

UUs are no doubt very powerful in their time, but in multiplayer it isn't always feasible to make it to that time. Therefore, I would propose that each nation have a larger array of UUs than just one, perhaps one for every age. In this way, every race could be at least somewhat usable during all ages (for multiplayer more than anything, which requires some semblance of balance which is certainly lacking for a nation like germany or america in particular, who each have very late game UUs).

I like it the way it is.

As for now, Each CIV is different from the other in both traits and UU. this combination is not easy to balance but it turns every pich of a leader to a different game with a different strategy.

Adding more UU to each CIV might ease the balance by making the CIVs almost equal to one another, but will also make the game more boring for exactly the same reason.

Well, each UU in each age would be different.

Let's say the X civ's classical age UU is infantry, and the X civ's medievel age UU is mounted. Etc etc

Meanwhile, the Y civ's classical age UU is infantry, but the Y civ's medievel age UU is..er..a boat?
