Also any ideas for a Polynesian UU and UB. I know there are other mods out there but I kinda wanted to do something unique for this one if I can.

Keep the SQPR flag.
By the way, the new colors will only work if you switch the colors of Rome, Carthage, and Ottomans. That is, Rome is purple, Carthage is orange, and the Ottomans are dark red.

I probably will not be changing the colorscheme I had in the first game. I made them that way for a reason after all.

Which Ottoman flag will you be using, the tughra, the crescent, or the Istanbul symbol?

I honestly have not thought that far ahead just yet. I still have to finish up this module pack (I am replacing the Philippenes with Polynesia and I am making a new Kamehameha and Salamasina LH actually) and after that I still have some units I need and I have to figure out which techs, buildings, units, wonders etc. I am adding for the future era and how to change the look of the flags in the future era. Then of course I have to make new LHs. So really the last thing I'm going to do is the flags and stuff.

I'd go for koaiʻa spearmen for a UU (or Koa, which means warrior. Or maybe Polulusmen or something, since Pololu is the name for the long spears..) Have them be 1 strength higher than the base spearman for it.
That'd give us a Hawaiian UU, need to think of a non-Hawaiian UB... Maybe a Marae/Mala'e replacement for theaters?
In Esnaz's MOD (I think it is Esnaz's anyway) and Varietas Delectat-Polynesia the Marae replaces Colosseum.

I'll probably just go with those, either a Koa swordsman replacemen or a Koai'a spaerman replacement as you've suggested. The Marae is probably the best option honestly, so that's fine. I am also going to start working on Clovis relatively soon (after I finish the Polynesian civ and the modulepack) I have ideas for the look (the hair and attire) but I am not quite sure who to base it on just yet, any ideas?

I'd personally suggest Cyrus. A lot of the depictions of Clovis (although I'll admit they're most likely pretty off) I've seen have him look similar to Civ4's Cyrus.

The Clovis I have in mind is going to look a lot more "Frankish." Partially because I think based on the era in which he lived and the activities he was engaged in he probably didn't look like the "Arthurian-looking" King he is often depicted as. Since we are adding the Franks as a civ I am going to make him look like a Frankish war-chief. Darius could be a good one, I just have to see what animations work with him.

Here is a quick mock-up of what Clovis will look like (sort of). All I did was throw some meshes together in Blender and then I took a screen shot and colored it with GIMP. So its a very rough draft but I just wanted to show you what I was thinking of making him look like. This is only his head (obviously)

Not bad.
I'm curious, as of the new version of the mod, are there any civs left with only one leader?

Are you talking just Firaxis civs or all of them?
The Almighty dF

All of them.
I think almost all of the new civs have two leaders, excepting a few.

Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, Teutonic Order, and Bulgaria are the ones I can think of right now.

There will be no leaders added to the modular civs I've made. With perhaps a few exceptions, although in all liklihood I will not be adding any new leaders to those civs. Its just way too much work.
But if I can remember them all the following have/will have one leader:
Phoenicia (Hiram)
Nubia (Taharqa)
Teutonic Order (Hermann von Salza)
Brazil (Dom Pedro II)
Sweden (Gustav Adolph)
Lithuania (Mindaugas)
Switzerland (Dufour)
Bulgaria (Stambolov)
Finland (Kekkonen)
Minoans (Satur)
Songhai (Sonni Ali Ber)
Assyria (Sennacherib)
Puerto Rico (Munoz Marin)
So really, out of all of the civs that will be in the Deluxe edition only 13 will have one leader. Every firaxis civ is at least getting a second leader, so that's a lot of leaders. Its almost too many really because the more stuff the game has to load the more likely there is to be a MAF. So that is why I am not going to add new leaders to new civs.

I am going to update and re-upload all of the modules coming up. Because I have it on good authority that the Nubians are about to get a makeover in the next day or so... a little birdie told me. Also Bakuel's Hungarian units have been out for a while too.
I think these three civs would need a second leader maybe later on when LH makers will have more time after all those projects are done. For Assyria, you can make Ashurbanipal. I don't really think you have a free LH to choose from, but if you'll find something... I don't have this problem because I don't have the Phoenicians in my mod, so I took the Hiram LH and changed it's background to make Ashurbanipal.
For Brazil I think many would want to have a Juscelino LH some say, and for Sweden Gustav Vasa would be a great LH to add, but, again, these are only suggestions for future updates that aren't necessary now.

Allow me to repeat myself...
