Weird I was before at this site and have searched for AIUnits in Civ4Unitinfo.xml description. BUt everytime I clicked on it, it was empty. I guess there was a different way to get there.

Thanks dude.

i could also use this information, and the wiki is down.

anybody has another source on what each AI template does?

reserve - waits in town(s) but will move when needed

counter - will be built if needed vs special unit types

city counter (counter + city defense) - city defense vs special unit types

city special - exactly 1 unit per city as city defense, will NEVER leave the city where it was built

SeaAssault - will attack/pillage without war (if possible for that water unit type)

Escort - will escort low strength/non strength ships like transport

ICBM - can nuke enemy land without moving
