What is the eye thing in the UNITS.gif file supposed to be?

I was trying to make a SEABEE unit, aka Combat Engineer unit but I keep coming back to this and would like to know what its use in CIVII is.
Thanks

"Eye thing?" Are you talking about the green unit in the bottom row? If you are, then its nothing at all. Just an extra icon that can be safely edited, erased, or copied over.

I always call the eye unit a martian.

I just happen to have a problem with what i call '"The Beholder" !

In the MGE "standard" Units.gif I didn't see any Beholder, the extra slots are all filled with Barbarian leaders.
I found the Beholder in the Diplo Mod that I use only... maybe it is in the FW units.gif ??
But strangely, in my games , since I use the mod I have Beholder icons for the Barbs leaders !

It looks like the game engine uses the "last" slot for the Barb leader (unit is not defined in rules.txt AFAIK), but I wonder why I seem to be the only one having the problem...
What's the rationale of this ?

Those extra slots are just for the "User Defined" and "Extra Unit" spaces at the end of the Rules.txt. It's not a problem at all, the last space is used for the Barb leader. If you want to keep the eye unit, put it somewhere else so your barbs aren't lead by extra-terrestials!
