Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) – 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Domrey (Khmer) 1 = 4 - 3, Melee plus a ram is easier.
Eagle Warrior (Aztec): 36
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) – 24
Hypaspist (Macedon): - 12
Impi (Zulu) – 7
Jong (Indonesia) – 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 17
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33 = 32 +1 - Took these out for a run last night, forgot how good they are with healing apostles.
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 22
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 35
Redcoat (England/Victoria): - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 12
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) – 14
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Domrey (Khmer) - 1-3=-2 (ELIMINATED) - Compared to other units here, it just isn't that strong or useful.
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 36
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 12
Impi (Zulu) - 7
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 17
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 22+1=23 - Battleship is OP. This is even more OP battleship available one era before battleship. It's also not useful just for naval combat, but its huge range allows it wrecking coastal cities and units without even getting harmed.
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 35
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 12
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 14
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 36
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9 (12-3) --- Great unit to upgrade your starting infantry to, but hardly seems worth the trouble to have a unique unit just for that. That’s assuming your starting infantry survives. Otherwise, why build them when you have Hetairoi available?
Impi (Zulu) - 7
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 17
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 36 (35+1) --- No brainer. Move over hills or forest & attack. The only problem I have with them is the inevitably feeling of confliction and sadness I have to work through due to their hardiness, increased damage capacity, and +50% more experience ability. It pains me when I turn my attention away from ranged units to cavalry corps and merge 5 promotion crossbowmen with 4 promotion xbowman because I have too many of them around and don’t want the maintenance cost.
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 12
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 14
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 36
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9
Impi (Zulu) - 7
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 17 (17 + 1) 1 cost pillage makes them survive forever while at war. Especially if you bring workers along to insta repair farms. Lose the city due to loyalty, and now you have free health packs for your units. Not to mention tons of free science/etc. from pillaging.
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 36
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9 (12 - 3) Requires a very specific map to even be useful.
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 14
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26

Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9
Impi (Zulu) - 4 (7-3) under fire Impi's are whimpy
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37 (36+1) I feel embarrassed playing with these, at least with eagles you have to ramp up, double shot xbows.... like a second UU with that 50% XP
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 14
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 37 (36+1) I love the builder capture ability.
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 35
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 11 (14-3) I don't like down-voting a unit I haven't used, but on paper, they're the least impressive of the remaining units that I haven't already voted down.
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 37
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 36 (35+1) Rome is dominant, and the Legions are one of the big reason why. That's as it should be.
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 13
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 9 (11-3) Winged Hussars are a lot of fun to use in the scenario, but they aren't much help in a regular game. IMHO these should be the next to go.
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38 = (37+1) Free builders are a godsend. Raw combat strength is nice, and the Eagle warrior definitely has some, but what will really change your game is a big economic boost, and nothing on this list can compare to the Eagle warrior on that front.
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 24
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 9
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 36
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 10 = (13-3) It's a swordsman that doesn't need iron. That's strong, but this late in the game it's not enough.
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9
War-Cart (Sumer) - 36
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 25 (24+1) GG points per kill, +5 combat strength next to GG, Free promotion, and doesn't need horses (sure, every UU lacks the resource requirement, but the 2 horses this early in the game is more limiting than most resource requirements for units). Not to mention these upgrade to knights. Amazing game-changing unit. I'd say it's tied with Pitati Archer for the best UU in Civ6
Hypaspist (Macedon) – 6 (9-3) Not the worst UU, but pretty weak. As far as non-legion Swordsman replacements, I prefer Knogo's Ngao Mbeba for mobility and defense bonuses
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Legion (Rome) - 36
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23

De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 25
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 3 (6-3) I'd much rather have Impi or Mbebas than these guys. Bonus against districts is very niche. Plus Hetairoi are incredible, so why not build those instead?
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Legion (Rome) - 36
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 23

Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 9
War-Cart (Sumer) - 37 (36+1) This and Nubian archers are the most OP units in the game. Being available from the first turn is just too much. War-carts should unlock at Wheel tech just like heavy chariots. How can you have a War-cart without wheels anyway?
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8
 
I'm finding there are a lot of units I would like to upvote, and none I really want to downvote. Still:

Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 25
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 3
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Legion (Rome) - 36
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 20 (23 - 3) There is much to like about this unit, such as it unlocking through the civics tree. However, it does come along quite late in the game, at a point where it doesn't make much of a difference. Battleships get the job done effectively enough.
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 10
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 10 (9 + 1) I feel like this one is underrated. I get the argument that naval units are less important and more situational than others. Still, I really like the Longship. It enters the game really early, is stronger and faster than the Galley it replaces, has the same production cost, and can do coastal raids (which also lets you pop goodie huts). In addition, it synergizes very well with Norway and Harald's abilities. These ships can be built more quickly, thanks to the production bonus. This helps with the eureka for shipbuilding, which then again will let these ships enter ocean tiles. Finally, when you do send your fleet of Longships to distant shores, they will have the ability to heal in neutral waters. There is a lot to this unit.
I do generally like early game unique units, especially those that replace already useful/necessary units. The Viking Longship does this, and additionally stands out by being able to not just do things better, but do more things than the unit it replaces.

Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 25 + 1 = 26 (I also prefer it to the Legion - the extra mobility and GG points tip the scales here. Top 5 material)
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 3
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Legion (Rome): 36 - 3 = 33 (Getting a little too big for his britches. I wouldn't have it in the top 5 and it definitely doesn't stack up to Eagles, Pitati, or the more mobile War Cart)
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18

De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 26
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 3 - 3 = 0 ELIMINATED Compared to the rest of the list, it isn't very great, and you're not often besieging districts.
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Legion (Rome) - 33
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 33
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 20

War-Cart (Sumer) - 37 +1 = 38 The early snowball Killing machine !
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 23 (22+1) Going to give another to this unit. So underrated seriously they're so much fun.
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 23 (26-3) I'm not really a fan of horseman units or great generals. Weakest in a strong list now.
Impi (Zulu) - 4
Legion (Rome) - 33
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18

Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 38
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 23
Impi (Zulu) - 1 (4 - 3) From what I hear they are not that strong, and mainly effective because they can be pumped out quickly.
Legion (Rome) - 33
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 34 (33 + 1) Knight that doesn't require Iron and heals at the end of every turn? Where do I sign up?

Mamluk (Arabia) - 34 + 1 = 35 Yeah, these are good.
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 20
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 10 - 3 = 7 There are better units up there.
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37

Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8
 

Stop that light green please!​

Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 35 (38-3) Again a great unit, if you are close. But if you are 15 tiles away they are dead/gone already. So situational and I don't like it!
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 23
Legion (Rome) - 33
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 35
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 20
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 7
Pítati Archer (Nubia) – 37
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 10
War-Cart (Sumer) - 40 (39+1) As a contrast to Eagle warriors, they are more mobile and last longer, if you play them well.
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8
 
Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack (Russia) - 25
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 26
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 35 - 3 = 32. While a fantastic unit early on, if you don't spawn near anybody, their capture ability is worthless.
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 23
Legion (Rome) - 33
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 18
Mamluk (Arabia) - 35
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 20

Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Varu (India) - 28
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 10
War-Cart (Sumer) - 40 + 1 = 41. The war car is an absolute monster of a unit.
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 8.
