Yeah that is a good idea, It would be hard for some civs that wasn't around durring that era. (but maybe give them the UU of the civ they are closest to, like with the Americans they would get the English UU)
I would like Unique unit for each civ (but that would be too much work).

Not possible due to the problems caused by civs existing at different times. What UU do you give Rome for the final 3 eras? America for the first 2? The Iroqois?

Yeh that would be good. In general I would like see many more UU's!
The Vikings will definetely need to UU's in one era though, Viking Raider/Bezerker and Viking Long Boat!
Perhaps giving civs 3/4 UU's for the full game would be good. Using my Viking example, the Raiders could be upgradable (think Conquests, the medieval scenario!), same for the Roman Legions (again, think Conquests! Rise of Rome), then for the Englsih a naval unit (mebbe same as already), the Red Coat Rifleman (yey again Conquests!
Napoeonic scenario) and a spitfire, and so on.
I see the Iroqois mentioned, well how about a Scout Unit, a combat Unit and an combat scout unit.

Multiple UUs would dilute their uniqueness.
I'd like flavour units, tho. Asian civs could get Horse Archers instead of Knights, for instance.

A greater variety of units would be interesting. I like the idea that each culture also has certain unique units with small variations and then one more civ specific UU. It would be similar to varying the tech tree so that you don't always rely on exactly the same units throughout the game.
