How to make an unpurchaseable unit?

Hello anyone and everyone...

I want to do ONE THING...

I want to make a regular combat unit that can not be purchased by any nation...

..."what's the point?" you ask? I want to "gift" this unit when a tech is reached, but I want it to be one-of-the-kind that nobody else can have or get.

Is there a way to make this happen? A way to create this unit but not have it purchaseable? How would this be done (something in XML i'm sure, but I can't think of what).

Please help with this.

I think you can do it like the animals. Make the cost -1.

But if you just copy an animal tag you'll have to change other stuff as well

Same applies to buildings and technologies (and anything else), by the way. Notice how the buildings that Great People build (Military Academy, Shrines) all have a cost of -1, but you can set them to construct those buildings as a special ability.

You can have an unresearchable tech (-1 cost), and have some event trigger giving it to a civ, or have a civ start off with that tech. The results are up to you: they can allow for a special unit only available with that tech, or some other type of bonus that you can think of.
