Should there be an option to randomize unique units? I'm not sure I like it that when you begin a game, you know about when you'll get your UU and golden age, along with the UUs and golden ages of other civs. With this information, you could decide to kill the Americans and Germans early while you have the chance. If UUs are randomized and you don't know when you'll get yours, you won't be able to plan ahead in this way. Also, you couldn't rush to the technology that gives you your UU or prepare the necessary resources for its building. Imagine suddenly finding out that the Chinese, who you had ignored for so long, had developed panzers and were staging a surprise attack!
Sure, the names may not go with the civ but that is only a minor detail that could probably be edited anyway. Personally, I believe random unique units would be fun and would add to the replayability.
