I don't remember that... but then, I didn't play mods on Civ 2.

Germany and Italian unitifation will be easily done. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop two civs in order to do it (I'm thinking Bavaria and Serbia - Bavaria will just go to German Minor States and Serbia will just go to Ottoman Empire), until >18 civs is possible. Basically, the civs Germany and Italy will be "waiting in the wings" until the conditions for unification are fulfilled by the proper civ(s), i.e. Prussia in the case of Germany and Sardinia or Two Sicilies in the case of Italy. Once these conditions are fulfilled, the civs waiting in the wings will take over all the corresponding units and cities and, if the human was playing them, the human player will be switched to this civ. It's pretty easy with python, really, and the only drawback is that I have to cut two civs (but I think it's worth it).
There is a changeciv funtion that jdog5000 made, but it doesn't change the flags. The method outlined above will change the flags.
So, then the question becomes, what are the conditions for unification?
Here's some ideas, but I'll need some input for the final product. There may also be multiple routes to unification. These are all easily scriptable events.
German Unification:
Method #1 Prussia controls X number of the German Cities from the German Minor States --> forced unification.
Method #2 Franco-Prussian War. Prussia is winning a war with France. A Franco-Prussian war event will fire in 1870, and if Prussia fulfilles the "winning the war" requirements by a certain deadline... the German Minor States move for Empire. Def'n of "winning a war" for this case 1) France controlls no traditional German cities AND 2) Prussia controlls at least 1-2 traditional French cities. (Specifics need polishing, feedback please).
Method #3 For the AI, have a unifying event fire in 1871.
Italy
Method #1 Sardinia or the Two Sicilies have to liberate the other Italian cities from Austria and take X number of each other's towns in war.
Method #2 For the AI, have a unifying event fire in 1861.
