there should be a special ops. team unit. It should be a national unit so you can build only 3 - 5 per country. It can attack without declaring war (50 % chance it will hurt relations with the other country).

starts with amphibious and commando can be dropped from planes. Plus 50% against gunpowder units plus 50% against infantry.

OK here is a list of Unique Units. I combined the list from DVS' first post with our new civ list.
Some civs still need a UU and some are part of our later to be implemented arms trade feature and won't need a special UU.

There is a new Brazil mod with UUs and UBs made including Art. See here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=333660
UU- Rainforest 'Selva'. Replaces Infantry and free woodsman 1 & 2 promotions
UB- 'Estadio'. Replaces Colosseum and provides one artist specialist.
Note- The author, Rittmeyer, notes the 'Supertucano' to be a close second choice for UU.
I have contacted Rittmeyer and he is very happy for his work to be used. At this stage, whilst it is great to be coming up with our own list, do most agree that it is a good idea to use existing art and UUs/UBs where appropriate and possible? (e.g. Redcoat isn't going to be much good)

Yes, absolutely. If there are any civs that we're missing UUs for that have already been made, that's a very sensible way to go. Are there any more that fit? I know DWOLF made a lot of modern civs, but I think we've got those covered.

Yeah, I stumbled upon some of that kind. I'll look into that as soon as possible.

OK, I got some. I'll edit it. Should I replace the Brazilian UU? I'd say so...
I updated Sweden, Poland, Libya

Hey lads, I took a quick tour in few pages. This work is really good, I'll be happy to test this mod.
I'm in Spain and those UU for EU looks great... "Peacekeeping Taskforce and/or
Eurofighter Typhoon".
I think Peacekeeping Taskforce is ok, but isn't much representative because they're quite standar "Mechanized infantry"; Eurofighter is much better to identify the european "strong focus" because as far as I know was developed by UK, France, Spain and Germany; The other option that I saw was the Leopard 2 that was built by Germany, other countries that have it (like Spain) just can modify it (Leopard 2E). Aswell there is an "Eurocopter" too, Tiger used by those countries, so it could be a common unit for NATO and EU (requiring a project in both civs, so if I'm NATO I need to build my project and wait until EU builds his own. This can give more background to western europe theatre).
Also, in the post #366 it's written "10 Spain - red & gold - Jose Zapatero - FIN/CRE" well... from inside doesn't look like that... the real name is "Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero". What I feel is a politician wanting to keep everyone happy, so one of the traits maybe the... +
or +
in each city, because he doesn't look much creative. In other way we'll keep the crysis much longer than the rest of europe, but this prime minister is trying a lot of "crap projected laws" (the stage before it's accepted by the parlament) to help the economy.
I don't know about modding, but if I can help in another way... just let me know.

could you check with the current civ list?
I'm quite sure that it doesn't match with this UU list...

Quite a bit more than that, actually--we also are doing tanks and jet fighters. I've done some of my own work on those, so I'll send you my files. Also, keep in mind that I think you need to include the normal type of unit for each class, so the game knows what the UUs are replacing.
I'd like it if this crew became a little bit more coordinated, so I think you should look at Sheep's post in page three of the other Units thread. The original idea, and the one I followed before I knew somebody else was doing units, was to have some nations with starting units that are unbuildable because they were purchased from other nations that once built them but ceased to when they developed better types. So when I coded for units I made all of these obsolete replace the default "tank" unit and set them to unbuildable. (You can can do this with any unit by setting their "icost" tag to "-1".) They also aren't unique units as more than one nation uses them. When nations develop a little more, the plan is to let them actually manufacture their own tanks. And naturally, some already can. Does anybody know if that idea was abandoned?
Also, how about increased hills combat for the Swiss militia unit?

I haven't worked on these for about a year, and I'm not really sure what changes everyone made, so I probably won't be the best one to complete the UUs. Also, I have no idea how to do a lot of them or how the arms trade is going to work, so it would be better if a more experienced programer were to finish them up.
Setting it up is a very minimal affair. All one needs to do is make certain vehicles unbuildable and add them in the Worldbuilder, as well as make some nations research modern MBTs/Fighters. I think I'll keep going that route, and I'll also merge in what Sandman got done.
