Civilization III: Units: Vanilla

Civilization III has 65 Units. While many of these are the same as they were in Civilization II, each of the game’s sixteen civilizations now has a special unit that fits in a particular era. When one of your special unit wins a combat against another Civ, a Golden Age will be triggered and will last 20 turns, during which time your cities enjoy increased production and trade. Golden Ages occur only once per game.
