I'm currently working on a units modpack. One of the features of this modpack will be each civilization aquiring multiple unique units. Here's a small list I've compiled, if anyone has, or knows of, suitable animations, I'd love to hear from you.
The List (Babylon and Zululand have been deleted to make room for Spain and Turkey) The Bowman replaces the Longbowman (since babylon is gone) and the longbowman is now england's unique unit.

America- Apache Helicopter (BoneDoc's animation comes to mind), Land Warrior (Maybe MazterJo's SpecOps would work well here)
Aztecs- Jaguar Warrior, Tribal Spearsman (impi image)
Native Americans- Mounted Warrior, ???
Spain- Not sure here. Some form of naval ship, and maybe a conquistador or some form or rifleman?
France- Musketeer, not sure of the 2nd unit
Germany- Panzer, Bismark Battleship (TVA22's animation would be great for this)
England- Longbowman, Dragoon (Dark Sheer's Bandit would work well here)
Rome- Legionary (with the ability to build roads and forts), ???
Greece- Hoplite, Cataphract (rider animation, technically Byzantine, but close enough)
Russia- Cossack, Hind (I know there's a hind animation out there, not sure how it looks or who made it though)
Turks- Jannisary? (no animation) Mameluke? (no animation)
Persia- Immortals, ???
Egypt- War Chariot, ???
India- Sepoy (needs animation), ???
China- Junk (TVA22's junk would work well), ???
Japan- Samurai, Yamato Class Battleship (TVA22, again)

It's still in the planning, and it's still missing a lot of units, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any animations, or the permission to use the previously posted animations, would also be greatly appreciated.
 
A suggestion, you could come up with hypothetical modern units for some of the older Civs, like the Persians and Aztecs. That way they could have a unique Ancient/Middle age unit and a unique Industrial/Modern unit. You'd have to use some imagination, but it could be kind of interesting to see what you come up with.

Perhaps you could do this for all the civs, so for example America could have the Apache as it's modern UU and Colonial Militia as a Middle Ages UU.

Also, the Hind you mentioned was done by Haverlock. Someone posted a link somewhere around here to his website, which has three or four other units for Civ 3 as well. Sorry I don't know what it is myself...
 
I intend at some point to try the same thing, for egypt I had in mind some sort of horseman with a desert headgear thing, basicly I was going to use the worker head, and place it on a horseman's body, then call them Medji riders or something like that. For the Chinese, I'm going to make another unit for them, going to be a cross between the Roman Legion and the Pikeman, as the graphics for this unit are already there in those two units, and it will be called the Qin Jun, or, Qin troops, for those of you who aren't familiar with chinese. I got the idea from a movie I watched a bit back about the unification of china under Qin Shi Huangti. And for the Russians I had a different idea than the Hind, though that would work fine--I was going to make a typhoon-class missle sub. But thats just me. I also have finished a kamikaze for japan, but am having a really weird problem with my game, it won't let me run a game if I change anything in the civ3mod.bic, so I have yet to playtest it, which is why I haven't posted it here yet.
 
maybe ther persians could get war elephants like the indians
the aztecs could get an eagle warrior
the minuteman type thing would be good for americans
some sort of advanced knight (paladin?) for the french would be good
maybe a mig fighter for the russians

hope this helps
