I don't think current civ 5 uses its hex-board enough for combat and that there could be more abilities and variations. And while civ 6 will undoubtedly bring some new stuff it doesn't seem like they're changing it to that large of a degree.
We all love how artillery has an extended range to three and musketmen doesn't iron.
Here's some ideas:

Here's some ideas:
- Horseman and Knight could ignore Zone of Control except from Spearman/Pikeman.
Enables spearman another usage over swordsman, now its better at protecting archers.Probably same idea for tanks and anti-tank gun.
- Swordsman could have a shield up ability offering 50 percent less received ranged damage for two turns, in exchange for 50 percent more Melee damage received.
- Swordsman perhaps instead could have a "charge" +1 mp at the cost of vulnerability.
- Swordsman also can ignore ZoC maybe? Or perhaps only for skirmisher. Thus forcing people to have swordsman to defend their archers from other swordsman.
- Skrimisher or Guerilla unit.
Has a semi ranged attack 2 tiles away that obeys ZoC. Same as if a warrior moved ome tile attacked and then returned to its previous tile.
- Chariot Archer. Same ignore ZoC except for spearman. Entering forest should end all movemnt versus hills which will only take up 2mp
- some kind of "jump over" a tile with an enemy ability. Could be a horseman charging past the unit would be interesting
- Axeman. Counter to swordsman. When attacking can force enemy to retreat

- Medic camp to heal.
