Should there be an option to randomize UUs?

Well, how about the Babylonians or Romans going around nuking the world? Is that right? This is a game in which you create history, not necessarily repeat it. If you want a realism and historical accuracy, maybe you could find that at the library.

Anyway, I really could imagine a bunch of Americans running around throwing spears.

damn it, the unique units are supposed to be unique.

the other units are generic, used by many civs in the world at some point.

By randomizing the UUs, each UU would still be unique. One and only one civ would be able to build a certain UU, and each UU could only be build by one civ. The only thing randomizing the UUs does, is allow, say the Americans to have the Impi as their UU ( ) and the Aztecs to have a 'Rider' for their UU...

The UUs would by no means become generic, as the Americans would lose their ability to build good planes, and the Chinese wouldn't be able to train advanced knights.
