I'll make a guess:
Every civ has exactly 1 UU. Some leaders (Teddy, Victoria) have one, too with their ULA. That's why some civs now have 2 UUs. The 2nd UU must thus always fit the leader.
Has this been disproven alteady? It would mean that German Panzer need a 20th century leader to appear.
We've seen only 2 civs with 2 UU. For 1 of them this theory is proven, for another we don't have confirmation. While the theory looks good, we don't have statistical data to prove it.
Also, it doesn't look right to me for civilization to have 1 leader with UU and another without it. Most likely for 2 UU civs with 2 leaders both leaders will have their UU.
There is such a thing as "reasonable deduction". At this point, it is safe to say that it is the case. Anyway, my point is that there is enough info to separate the lists of civs and leaders. Even if one or two of the details are incorrect, they can be fixed once there is confirmation. In fact, there is better odds for this information being correct than previous bits of info like the "leader board" poster.
With two leaders i was hoping germany would have the panzer as the UU
and have the WW1 keiser as the 2nd leader of germany and the uboat would fit perfectly as a leader unit. also we would have a modern leader
Ugh.... I must say, I have loved and played every civ title since i was in highschool. I was as happy as could be with Civ 6 so far, but I've lost so much of my Happiness because of no Panzer for Germany. I will play the hell out of the game, but will not be able to bring myself to play germany or againster her with out a least a graphic mod to make the sherman look like a panzer
Honestly, the Panzer is meme-tier, quite like Gandhi. There was nothing extraordinary from german tanks at this time, russians were much more impressive but no one is complaining about them not being in game either.
Uhlan, Landsknecht, U-boot or Zeppelin are all a better choice for a german UU
I know... I was just pointing it out. And I probably play more with ancient units than late game...But the Legion is already confirmed.
And what would be the other options? Equites?
The Legion is far more iconic for Rome than Panzers for Germany...
And I also think a classical UU is far less used every game (and thus less 'oh no, this thing again') than a modern UU, at least for me. I spend considerably less time with war in the early game than in the late. Might change in VI as it seems...
Willelm II might not have been the best or the brightest of Germany's leaders but he surely had a peculiar personality (which I think was the problem). Having him with a WW1 infantry UU and some Total War themed bonus such as increased unit production during war time would not be bad. Frederik the great would be fine as well with some juicy Prussian grenadiers.
I'm half Greek.. one part Lydian (Smyrna) & one part Ionian (Corfu) so multiple Greek & Italian kingdoms could arise. Many overlapping kingdoms would. Mod-tastic. Makes me wanna learn how to make my own lol
I might be a little upset of the Romans didn't have their legion.
