Us Navy seal as a UU - bah... rubbish.
Every civ should have access to a Commando or Special Forces unit.
This would be:
Reconnasance type unit (so it can be carried by submarines)
Strength 10
Movement 2
Starts with woodsman I, guerilla I, commando, amphibious, sentry, mobility, 50% chance to retreat
Can attack and can pillage
Can retreat when attacked.
Available with Industrialism (same as Marine).
Explorers can unpgrade to commandos.
The idea is that the unit is too light to stand up to a full strength modern unit, but it is incredibly mobile, great for pillaging, scouting and picking off unattended workers, can pick off the occasional injured unit, and if attacked in favourable terrain stands some chance of doing some damage then escaping. In other words just like a real special forces unit. If the US still wants Seals as its UU then you could have them as an upgraded version of commando, rather than an upgraded version of Marines that really should be called "US Marines"
How about it?
