Plural Unique Units?
Maybe I'm dead wrong, but could there be a plural title for more than one unique unit?

For example - Greek: Hoplite --> Phalanx
Roman: Legionary --> Legion
Iroquois: Brave? --> War Party

In one of the early 'ask the civ team' posts, the one with data on colonies and commodities, it mentions that Rome is producing a legion, not a legionary. Could they have changed this? What do you guys think?

On the Rome issue:

Well if you are typing a quick answer to a question are you going to remember to type "legionary" instead of "legion"? Probably not, since you've been dealing with "legion" for about 8 years now.

They seem to have changed ALL units to singular.
