Tupinambá
Leader: Cunhambebe

Unique Unit: Uybabaeté

Observation When he fought against the Portuguese he used two canon on his back to support
 
Since Sid Meier is part Swiss, I thought this would be interesting:

The Swiss:

UA-Cantons: Governors give a flat +1 bonus to all District yields in the city they are assigned to. Internal trade routes generate 100% Food and Production, and can generate Gold, but foreign trade routes have their yields halved.
UU-Halberdier: Replaces Pikeman. Automatically gains the 'Thrust' promotion upon creation. Upgrades to Anti-Tank, rather than to Pike and Shot.
UB-Chalet: Replaces Ski Resort. Available at Steam Power. Generates gold equal to half of its Tourism output.
CL-William Tell (Sorry, low on ideas)
LA-Swiss Confederacy: All Melee and Anti-Cavalry unites gain +4 Combat Strength within Swiss territory, +8 if also adjacent to a mountain.
Agenda-Battle of Sempach: Likes peaceful civs that respect small neighboring civs. Does not like civs that bully smaller neighbors.

Why do the Unique Improvement and Unique Unit have the same name?

because have the warrior and the monument named the same

Well, we call them Atlantes because they are humanoid figures that work as columns for temples in a reference to the Atlas myth but if i'm not wrong i think that some names for military factions of the Toltec are recorded and one is them is like Coyote, so a Coyote warrior could work better for UU name
 
I'm pretty sure I've designed an Austrian civ before on this thread but not in a while since GS and the NFP, so here's an updated version:

Austrian Empire:

Leader: Maria Theresa
Capital Vienna:
Agenda: Hapsburg Monarchy- Likes to be allied with as many civs as possible. Dislikes civs with more allies than her.

LA: Dynastic Marriage- May to send a Royal Child to another leader you have an alliance with by spending extra gold. This gives you more diplomatic access plus extra diplo favor, and culture, per turn for both you and your ally.
(Maria Anna, Joseph, Maria Christina, Maria Elisabeth, Maria Amala, Leopold, Maria Carolina, Ferdinand, Maria Antonia, Maximillian Francis basically acts as another spy. The male children will go to a female ruler and female children will go to a male ruler.) :)

UA: Österreichische Zentralalpen: Cities receive an extra amenity when built adjacent to a mountain. National Parks and Ski Resorts gain more +1 appeal and +1 amenity when encompassing a mountain tile as well as yield gold equal to the appeal of tiles. Amphitheaters can hold a Great Work of Music slot.
(My idea is the Central Alps, which comprise 60% of Austrian's landscape, contributes to the majority of tourism, which also generates much money for the economy as well, in the country.)
Edit: Changed commercial hubs adjacency to mountains to let ski resorts and national parks yield gold which makes more sense.

UU: Grenzer- (Replaces Ranger) Extra combat strength when fighting on the border tiles of your territory.

UD: Wiener Klassik (Replaces Theater Square) First time one is built unlock the Opera and Ballet Civic. +1 extra Great Musician points per turn. Whenever a Great Musician is retired in this district gain a boost of tourism.
(I know the Viennese School isn't an actual place, or building, but instead a group of people which makes it similar to Macedon's UB. Either way it's it's more Austrian than a Coffee House. :p Plus my original idea before GS, the Alpine Ski Resort, is now buildable by everyone.)

There are female models in the Toa and Gaesatae for the Maori and Gaul. I guess they wouldn't work as well against them. :dunno:
Not to mention many modern/future units like tanks, helicopters, Giant Death Robots etc. don't have genders. :mischief:
